I don't know what or why the scrub side changed (yellow/green scrub sponge) but it's HORRIBLE & CHEAP now!!! Seems to gave changed when you changed to the wavy one. Don't "fix" or change what's not broke!!!! They used to last but now it's like a week before the scrub side starts shredding/falling apart. Not cool to make a cheaper product so people have to buy more often to line corporate pockets! I'm sure my review (or others that have posted similar) will make a difference, but it should when you ask what people think!

I have used Scotch Brite Heavy Duty scrub pads as long as I can remember. My Mother before me, used them so I grew up knowing that if I had a job that needed a good scrubbing, I could count on the Scotch Brite pad. Whether it's scrubbing dried food off a dish in the kitchen, the stovetop after a boil-over or BBQ sauce off the lawn chairs, I can always count on the pad. When it's down to almost nothing left, I can use it to scrub the floor of black marks! It washes beautifully so it can be used again and again. I would be lost without my Scotch Brite Scrub Pad in the kitchen, bathroom, utility room and patio! For an inexpensive cleaning solution, without harmful, smelling cleansers, it's the best!

I always use Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Sponges for my dishes and pots. They make my job of doing the dishes and cleaning those pots so much easier. They are "green" scrubbers, and being a "green" enviroment, I conserve water and do not use a dishwasher. They tackle the job easily and make me feel good about doing my part to help the enviroment.

I have a wonderful set of cookware and will not use anything but your scrubber sponge to clean them. They help me keep them looking just like they did when I got them. I have reccomended them to everyone that sees my cookware and wants to know how I keep them so pristine.

These sponges used to be great! I have used them for years. Now the dark green scrub side is still good but the sponge begins to degrade and shred immediately. The sponge part is only good for a few days of normal kitchen dish washing. Disappointing.

I have used these sponges to wash dishes for years, my last purchase of the heavy duty scrub sponge has a problem. I can use the sponge for about a week and then it becomes slimy to the touch. I throw it away and start over with a new one. I let them dry out after each use. Something changed.

The scrubber holds up well under heavy use, gets the job done with the least amount of scrubbing, and the brand is trustworthy. I use these scrub sponges on dishes, floors, ceilings, walls, counters, appliances, sinks, toilets, tubs, faucets, shoes, cars, toys, windows, and today on aluminum blinds. There are three in various stages of raggedness currently in use in the house. Indispensable in our home.

I have been using you Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponge & Scotch Brite Scrub pads since they first hit the stores.I have tried others, your products are the best by far. From kitchen sinks,floors,walls to scrubbing toilets. From my Mom to my Grandchildren to my Facebook friends, we all use your products.

I use scotch brite heavy duty cleaning sponges for all my cleaning jobs. I use them for the toilet,tub and sinks. I use them in and on my cars. I use them for dishes,pots and pans. I use them for spills. They work for anything that needs cleaning. I will never switch.One side scrubs without damaging and the other wipes up. They are excellent!

Cooking messes are especially hard to clean. When I use the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Sponges, I do not have the need to soak the mess, and come back with a lesser sponge. The Scotch Brite heavy duty sponges are a one wipe solution and saves me time and trouble. Thanks Scotch Brite, women have enough to do, continue to create products that help save time and effort.
