[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have bought this item since I arrived to USA since it is a recognized brand around the world. The sponge cleans well. However, after it has been used a couple of times, it starts to smell like rotten something and it appears some black spots around the yellow thing. It looks like zero hygiene. I clean it in the dishwasher and with clorox several times per week. Nevertheless, it starts to smell again. After using it, the hands smell awful. I have to wash them many times to take out the odor. I have talked to several people who use it and it happens the same to them. For this reason, they are using other brands. It is a shame that such a wonderful brand has in the market this bad products.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Scotch-Brite HD scrub sponge is a unique tool. I do keep one around in the kitchen, but honestly I mostly keep them near my tools and paint supplies. To me it's a bit rough for most daily dish washing tasks as it can leave scratches, but I like it for pots & pans with stubborn cooked on messes as it is my go to. I like to use these for tool clean-ups and a quick surface prep on metals for paint touch-ups. I must for the bar-b-que grill. When done, rinse, then throw the sponge on the top shelf of the dishwasher for repeated use. I received samples of the sponges with a curved shape. Not sure if I prefer this to a rectangular shape, but either way the do the job well.

I use these all the time, i use more than 1 kind of them. they are really great and does the job that they are supposed to do. i would tell anyone to buy them in a heartbeat. i think that almost all of their items are good,so if anyone is on the fenche about them i would just say to try them. you won't be sorry. i have to give them a 5 star .

I LOVE this Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge! I use it for the sinks and counters in our bathroom every few days! It really works WELL with cleaning off 'daily' dirt in the bathroom! It makes cleaning easier! It's also tough on the scum and dirt but easy on the surfaces. It's great!

I love this products function and use on hard to scrub surfaces. Unfortunately this sponge begins to smell like an old sponge(mildew) after only minimal uses. I love this product and have tried buying it from different stores and in a variety of packs (single to multipacks) and I have gotten the same results. T

I love these! They work on heavy duty messes, and they last a long time. When they have been used up though, I just throw it away and get a new one. I hate wasting lots of paper towels on messes, and these seem to clean much better too. Highly recommended!

I use the scrub sponge in the kitchen for doing dishes and for extra cleaning on some tough stuff. I love the versitility of flip it if I need it! It also works great in the tub and bathroom sink. The scrubber works hard but doesn't scatch up the tub! It is the only scrubber sponge I use around the house. I have to mention, I like things clean and I have progressed MS and I am always trying to find things to make it easier for me to do my cleaning easier. I find that quality in the Scrubber sponge. Thanks for a great product.

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 love these sponges for doing dishes. But I can not use them around the house because the color of the sponge and especially the scrubber side transfers the color of the scrubber to the tile grout or to similar things that I am cleaning. That is where I need the scrubber the most because I can manipulate the scrubber into tight places that scrub brushes can not go. So, for dishes, pots and pans I think this is a terrific product. For household cleaning I think you have to try other products.

The last batch of sponges I bought smell after a few uses. I was able to keep my sponge months and only threw it out because I had it so long. Now it stinks all the time. I have always kept it in a hanger to dry between uses. Are you using a different type of sponge? I don't have a problem with the ability to clean with it or the scrub coming off. Just the smell.
