Because we are now well equipped to keep it clean.
Seriously, I never knew that this common kind of scrubbing brush, with its squarish head and straight or slightly curved handle, is properly known as a “gong brush”.
A full fifteen minutes of serious Googling were insufficient to uncover the story behind this interesting name. I wouldn’t think that gongs need too much scrubbing- once over with a microfiber rag and the occasional polishing should be sufficient. This gong brush is designed for heavier duty.
For messes at a distance (or extra long gongs), try the Extra Long Gong Brush.

Or if you need to clean up after a particularly messy table tennis match in a former Far East British colony between members of a peaceful Chinese religious sect, sponsored by a Chinese-American character actor, a controversial American woman writer, and a Futurama character, where the spectators smoked hookahs while church bells ring forever and you need an extra-extra big size, try the new and improved extra-long Hong Kong Falun Gong ping pong long song ding dong big bong James Hong / Erica Jong / Amy Wong King Kong gong brush.
Wow. If Car Talk were still making new episodes, I would say they should hire you to write stuff about Doug Berman.
Car Talk was pretty much my favorite thing, and I wouldn’t be surprised if people saw its influence in my writing. I miss it so much.
I think we all should just sit back for a moment and contemplate the effort that went into the nest of rhyming puns that is this comment. Seriously, Wolfie. Good job. I am no good at puns myself, but I recognize near genius when I see it.
Thank you, but I can’t take full credit. I was inspired by this story (under the “Humor” entry)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_B._Spong,_Jr.
But otherwise all I did was thing of everything that could rhyme with “gong” and went with it.
Wolf, that’s just wrong.

Ah, I see you missed the point.
I topped your list, both large and long, with a single word, bold and strong.
Your head I guess I need to klong with a solid tool, like a pair of tongs.
When the tongs are back where they belong, I’ll smile and wave at the admiring throng.
You also missed “Mekong” and “prong”. That’s all, everybody move along.
Your pointed wit has shrunk my intellectual schlong.
