I used the green side very lightly in an attempt to remove pine sap that had drifted from the neighbours fir tree from our kitchen window glass. The green pad scratched the window glass wherever I had used it. I suspect it would also scratch auto glass as well but I'm not going to try it. I note that the directions mention that the product may scratch in very small text, but also note the Non-Scratch blurb in much larger text indicating the pad is good for stove tops and pots and pans.

I clean houses for a living and sometimes I need something more abrasive than some of the cleansers I use. The Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponges are a necessity when I clean. I have two houses in particular where I need to use the heavy duty scrubbing sponges. One house always has coffee stains in their kitchen sink. It is not a surface that I have to worry about getting scratched up. The woman I clean for is always amazed that I get those stains out. I will continue to use the sponges for as long as I'm cleaning. Thanks!

This sponge is the only one I will purchase. Period. It is simply the best I have found to scrub off those dried on messes, but yet it is still gentle enough not to scratch my cookware. I love Scotch Brite and will always be a loyal customer because of their quality products. Well done!

I love this sponge. It not only cleans all the dishes and scrubs the crusted on pan, it also scrubs my counters. I have used other sponges like it before but they quickly fall apart or smell mildew soaked. This sponge lasts so much longer and is worth the money!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Spo ge free from 3M to try and then write a review about the product. This sponge can be used anywhere in the home. I use it to scrub pots and pans that have baked on stains and it works great.I use the soft sponge side to clean my counter tops and stove and it has worked well. It can also be used to scrub the bathroom tub and sink. I have never tried to use it on my outside grill but I am sure it would work good.

Have used this for 30 years no complaints until recently. This sponge used to last for such a long time now I use it a few times and it starts to break. Please go back to the old design and construction whatever you did to change it is defective!!!!!

I use this product...Oh do I ever use this product! In a nutshell,I love to cook. However, I don't always cook things that are easy cleanup. Some of my favorite things to cook are slow roasted or made in a pan on the stove producing hours of crusty build up to be cleaned later. I have made the mistake of buying brands other than Scotch-Brite Sponge and Scrubbing Sponges. I find that the Green Scrubby Layer comes loose almost imediately, resulting in it comming completely off by the second scrubbing. I don't have to worry about this at all with my hard working heavy duty helpers from Scotch-Brite! They hold up despite the torture that I put them thru! I love them!

This is a must have in my kitchen. I don't do anything else - I won't do without it. I ran out a while ago and my family thought I was nuts I had to stop what I was doing and go to the store to get a new one. I have stainless steel cookware and this is the only thing I use on it. Soak for a few minutes and than go at it with my sponge - can't live with out my heavy duty sponge. I now keep a few under my sink so I never run out again Thanks Theresa

These are the only kind I buy to clean my entire house. I use them were ever is needed. Will not buy any other brand. It not only has a great price, but it works. Does not fall apart and last a long time. I even rewash them in the dishwasher and use them again. They last a long time even when doing this. i have two young boys and I am stay at home mom. I clean a lot! This product helps me get the job done quickly!

Don't mess around wasting time and money. Scotch Brite offers the choice of sizes, pleasing colors, feels right, does an excellent job, and most of all will not seperate and come apart until completely worn out and ready to be replaced with the next Scotch Brite scrub sponge. Don't peel vegetables-heavy duty scrub sponge is excellent for scrubbing vegetables rather than peeling away the nutrients.
