I have used the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty sponges for several years. These sponges last and last. They are very tough, I use them on everything. When I want to sanitize it, I put it through the dishwasher and it's good to go. I've tried others but they just don't hold up as well or clean as well.

What's the difference between the 420 sponge (discontinued) and the 425 sponge (replacement)? The 420 was great. It stayed together and the green scratchy pad actually scratched. Cleaned the stainless steel sink wonderfully. The 425 - no so good. No good stuff in that section. What's a replacement for the 420 scratchy section that I could buy separately?

I have been using this product for many years!!! The sponge lasts & lasts!!! I use it for washing dishes, walls, scrubbing spills off the carpet, cleaning the tub, wiping a stubborn stain off of tile, and so many other uses!!! I drop it in the laundry or the diswasher, and it's clean!!! It doesn't fall apart!!! it's just like BRAND NEW!!! AGAIN!!! I would NEVER use another sponge!! I have tried other products, but they don't even come CLOSE to Scotchbrite!!! Thank you for a WONDERFUL, economical,TRULY GREAT product!!!

...I do my BEST to create a safe, healthy environment for my children. As such, I do not trust any other brand of sponges (and we use several types, although we could only pick one for this review, btw) for kitchen cleanliness. Thanks Scotch-Brite! :)

I like to cut my Heavy Duty Scotch Brite Scrub Sponge into thirds. We use a third for cleaning our veggies, one third for rinsing dishes for the dishwasher and one third for kitchen cleaning. Once or twice a week we replace the sponges. Excellent Product!!

Love how long it lasts. Love the contour shape that fits my hand. Cleans pots and pans yet gentle for glasses and my hands. When you compare how long it lasts and how well it does the job the slight difference in price from the others is well worth it, just try it yourself and see, you will be amazed.

Hi, My name is Melissa & I just wanted to say a little something about Scotch Brite heavy Duty scrub Sponge's & They clean even pan's with the most baked on food !!!! They do the job & do the job rite!!! So I am giving Scotch Brite an A++++++++ so next time your in your Super Market make sur you pick up a pack of Scotvh Brite Product's .

I have and use your heavy duty sponges almost every single day. They work great and even get coffee stains and other difficult to remove stains off of my kitchen counters and wherever else in the kitchen I need to use them as on the fridge. Our dishwasher cleans them well every time I was them. My hint is to place them on the top rack of my dishwasher. This way, they get desinfected with each wash and are like brand new all over again. I do use a wondeful kitchen cleaner which is a well known product while I am cleaning with your Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Sponges. I also use them on my pots and pans as well as on the stove and all my kitchen appliances. I do use the more soft side for those areas. I would like to buy your sponges with the handles to help my hands from getting the detergents on them. I'm sure that all of your products are wonderful and I intend to purchase all of them some day as needed. I highly recommend all of your Scotch Brite product to any one who hasn't tried them yet and will continue to use them Sincerely, Suzie2

I used Scotch-Brite scrub sponges for decades. Loved 'em. The perfect sponge shape and lasted for a long time. The biggest thing wrong with these new-design sponges is the shape. I'm sure you guys love how "easy they are to hold in your hand" (?), but I don't use them to clean my hands. I use them to clean pots, pans, containers, and dishes--of all different shapes, and this new design messes up what used to be a totally easy process. The sponge no longer "fits" with cleaning kitchenware simply and easily. I'll use up what I have as quickly as possible and never buy them again (unless you wise up and bring back the older and better design).

my son decided to cook........bad idea. i am not sure what he made that night but i had to soak my pan for two days. i ruined a couple sponges i had and decided to go buy a stronger one. i bought scotch brite heavy duty sponge and was able to make my pan look like new. i was able to use the sponge after that as well. i was happy and so was my son. he would have had to buy me a new pan. since then, i do not use any other sponges. these are the best!
