    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.
