How to Crochet Scrubbies From Tulle
If you're looking for alternatives to commercial kitchen scrubbers, crochet your own out of tulle. Tulle is a soft netting sold by the bolt in fabric stores. By cutting the tulle into strips, you create your own yarn, which you can use to crochet a kitchen or bathroom scrubby. Use your crocheted tulle scrubby and the cleanser of your choice to wash dishes, kitchen counters and cars. The soft tulle cleans effectively without scratching surfaces.

Increase one stitch less in each round to make the scrubby as big as you want. For example, on the third round, increase every third stitch. On the fourth round, increase on the fourth stitch. Continue in the pattern until you are ready to bind off. Join the last round with a slip stitch, cut the tulle and thread the end through the last stitch to make a knot.
