I had success with the heavy duty scrubby sponge...I was working on pots and pans that had been hidden away in the back of a cabinet so that "someone" wouldn't have to hear me nagging about getting the dishes done....needless to say when I found them down there I was grossed out and worried about what kind of scrubber would even work. The scrub side of the product is dense and worked hard without scratching the service of the filthy pots...it also didn't breakdown on me...I got all the work done and still didn't have to toss the scrubber sponge. Thank you Scotch Brite

Love these sponges. My husband and I use them for everything from dishes, pots & pans, kitchen counters and appliances, bathroom fixtures, including toilets, to cleaning the birdcage. The scrubby side is perfect for removing dried food or grime without scratching the surface.

The Supper duty yellow sponge with the indestructible Green scrubber cleans the toughest dirt, it opens the surface of wall paper that is to be removed fast and easy, allowing the water to soften the old paste and the paper scrapes right with no effort and in record time!!!! outstanding

I just wanted to write you a note of nostalgia. When i was a young'n, my mom always used Scotch-Brite sponges. Now at 83 years old, she still uses them and I use them too. I love their quick absorbency, bright colors, and sturdiness to survive scrubbing. Since this year has been a hard one for many of my husbands family, I am making household items baskets for Christmas presents for each of them. I will be including Scotch-Brite sponges in each of them. I just want to say thank you for such a great product that has lasted years of beating the competition and giving me a lifetime of memories. It's amazing how when ones parents get older the little memories mean everything.

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?

Bring back the old sponge. The new sponge that is on the market now comes out of the package feeling wet and used up. When you do use it it’s effective for about 1/3 the time as the old formula. I throw them away now well before the sponge portion starts degrading. The scrub part stops cleaning the black marks from skillets, pans from my Porcelain sink well before the sponge wears out.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it for a bathtub that had mold mildew and caked on soap and layers of dirt. Used it with a bathroom cleaner and took it all off with minimal scrubbing. Very happy with this product and would definitely purchase it again. Recommended it to my daughter who is moving and has to clean up the new house and she likes it a lot too. Very good product.

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 have used these for years to wash my dishes. They hold up well, and they scrub well without damaging my dishes and pots and pans. When it gets smelly or dirty but isn't quite ready to be replaced, I put it in the dishwasher and it comes out like brand new.

This review is for the version of the sponge described on this web page: the one that has a rectangular shape (not the S-Wave version, where each long edge has the shape of a sine wave). This is an excellent 2-In-1 sponge. I've used these sponges for over 5 years, and I'm very happy with the design and consistent high quality. I've found the sponges handy for many types of cleaning, including cleaning: pots, pans, and dishes; counter surfaces; the inside of a self-cleaning oven (that is, for the required pre-cleaning before I use the "self-cleaning" feature); and aluminum assemblies that I fabricate for electronic projects. I've found that if I make sure to keep the Scotch Brite side of the sponge wet, and use hot water and a bit of dishwashing liquid, I can clean surfaces such as the inside of the glass window in my oven without scratching or harming the surface. I like the fact that this 3M sponge has a rectangular shape, instead of the S-Wave version, where each long edge has the shape of a sine wave. I've tried the 3M S-Wave sponges, and I don't like them. I believe the S-wave version is a flawed design for several reasons. (I plan to post a separate review of the S-Wave version.) I've read a few of the negative reviews on this page, where the reviewer says that he/she purchased a package of these sponges that had poor construction quality. The reviewer said that the sponges fell apart very quickly compared to the ones in other packages that the reviewer had purchased. I've never bought a package of these sponges that contained a poor-quality sponge. Each sponge I've used lasts a surprisingly long time. (I follow the instructions, which say to rinse out the sponge fairly often.)
