Skuresvamp, which translates to scrubbing sponge.

Let me blow your mind: Danes don’t use a sponge for washing up. They would consider it very unhygienic and the traditional Anglo-Saxon washing up sponge as something you’d use to clean the toilet with.

Instead they use a brush on a sort of angled stick.
