Net shower scrubbies help you exfoliate and wash away the day's dirty reminders, but they are sometimes rather expensive, especially if you replace them frequently to avoid mildew. It's not always convenient to run to the store for a new one. Keep a stash of tulle or netting in your craft closet, and a new pouf is never more than 10 minutes away. Keep a supply of colored poufs on hand for quick gifts and Easter basket or stocking stuffers.
