I Have used this Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge for a long time. It has always done an excellent job cleaning up some of the toughest pots and pans. And even through all the cleaning and scrubing, I have found that this sponge lasts and lasts and lasts! I have never seen a sponge that is still all in one piece and looking good when it is time for me to switch it out for a new one. It makes it difficult to throw away, so I don't! Instead, I take that sponge and use it on outside cleaning. It does double duty for me, first with the dishes, and then when I need to switch to a new sponge, it cleans outside stuff! Thanks!

This is one of those products for which I believe there is no substitute. Nothing even comes close. I have a touch of arthritis and have found that I don't need to apply as much pressure as with some other brands to get the same results. An added bonus is that because they do a better job cleaning the caked and burnt on food I find that I can use less dish detergent. I would never buy another brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I grew up with my mom and grandmother using them so it only came natural for me to try them. I just love these sponges makes my job of doing the dishes less work. When I'm doing cleaning I toss them into the microwave for 2 minutes to kill any germs and I get several uses out of one sponge!

I have benn using scotch brand all my life, specially the sponges but I have notice a couple of years ago that they become bad smelling after the second or third use. I use them to wash my dishes. I used the microwave trick, cleaning them in clorine, squezzing them very hard to keep them as dry as possible, no luck. I remember they use to last a lot without that bad germ or humid odor. Please do something. What happenned?

I have always used the Heavy duty sponges, because they are lasting more than four months and I can put them in a dishwasher at least once every two weeks. It cleans off both grease and food matter. I have used them in my home and when I worked in a resturant. Then when I work in the healthcare area they were very easy to work with.

Hi All! I have been using Scotch brite heavy duty scrub sponge for cleaning my stainless steel utensils. It is a very great product. It cleans all greasy substances and make the vessels shine. But we have to keep changing the scrub sponge once a month according to our daily use. I love this product. My Mom, sisters everybody likes this scrub sponge. It is a "must have" in everyone's house.

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

This is a complaint about the recent heavy duty scrub sponges I've purchased. I've used these for years, and am struck by the fact that the sponge part starts flaking off almost immediately upon use so seems to be breaking down quickly in a way it never has before. This is not a good feature. Just thought you might like to know, maybe it will get to the right people.

I've used the Heavy Duty Sponges for as long as I can remember. I LOVE them! I rated them a 4-Star, only because after using them for a while, small pieces of the sponges begin to fall off. However when this begins to happen, I move them from the kitchen sink to either underneath the kitchen sink or the bathroom, for cleaning both areas. The scraping portion of the sponge works wonders for bathtub smudges and stains!!!

My painter left drops of black paint on my front porch and the hose carrier. I was able to remove all the drops using the heavy duty sponges...it took about twenty minutes to restore my porch and the hose carrier. Those heavy duty sponges really rock.
