I used to use the green and yellow scotch-Brite but I've been sucked into the scrub daddy paradigm. They really are good scrub/sponges and last forever.

+1 for scrub daddy. Best thing is you can put it in dishwasher when it gets dirty.
+2 for scrub daddy and putting them in the dishwasher. I’ve been using the same one for 6 months and still going strong.
So many people seem to like scrub daddy but they're only available online where I live. They claim that these don't scratch but could I also clean for example the clear plastic water container from our coffee maker without scratching it?
Absolutely yes on the scrub daddy. I didn’t even know there was a paradigm but I found some on sale somewhere so I got them and I couldn’t believe how well they hold up and how much suds they produce. I especially love how the scrubby part is harder with cold water and softer with hot water
Crochet + yarn does it for me. I make little 3x6" shapes with a small needle.
For scrubbies I use on of the dollar store plastic abrasive pads.
idk but I have also heard of some variant of these "unsponges": https://www.arosetintedworld.co.uk/how-to-make-unsponges-zero-waste-dish-scrubbers/
I use cotton dish cloths, and a brush
I primarily use small (3”x3”) microfibre towels for dishwashing - bought a pack of four a while ago ant the grocery store and am still using them. I can’t remember what I paid, but I don’t expect it was much more than $6 or $7 CAD.
I also have a sturdier microfibre scrubby that’s holding up less well, which I wouldn’t buy again. And then, of course, steel wool for the big-time elbow grease jobs.
Scub Buddies Nail Guard - they're 6 for $1.25 at Dollar Tree.
