I was wondering the same thing.
Do you think it would shred and cause problems that way?

I like the sock idea, you just dump out the old and put in a new piece.

Does the steel wool rust, our house is very humid.

Wonderful english, my DD just said what other country has a class to teach their language, English is a hard one to learn.
Yes steel wool rusts if it's wet. If you keep it dry, it'll generally last for a while. Guess how I know? LOL

I'm excited about this idea. I've have been putting off buying one from online for $10.00.
