My household eliminated plastic and non-stick items. We’ve been using only cast iron and stainless steel for stovetop, glass and stainless steel for oven and mixing, glass and stainless for eating. Even the pets’ bowls are stainless steel.

Plastics and Teflon coatings are pure poison.

I agree with all of this but I want to go further. Just tossed that dishcloth that I think is plastic. Have not yet figured out replacements for my dobie scrubber or all these microfiber dusting cloths I have...suggestions welcome!

Also need to replace more of my plastic cooking tools: flip turners, etc.

replacements for my dobie scrubber

Non-abrasive scouring pads made of coconut or agave fiber are becoming more common. They look like Scotch-Brite pads, but are brown/beige instead of green/yellow. (Note that plastic lookalikes exist, so it's worth checking the label.)

microfiber dusting cloths

I find that a slightly damp cotton washcloth picks up dust pretty well. If you have lots of dust, it's easy enough to rinse, wring, and repeat.

Thanks, ono! Great ideas.

Just ordered new scrubbers. Scamazon has some made from sisal. I did not find any there made from coconut or agave but I'll check stores when I can.
