I've always used Scotch-Brite, so i decided to try this heavy duty sponge. I found this product was heavy duty and lasted a long time. this sponge seems to dry quicklt if turned over which was a added plus. I've had the same sponge for four months now. Great product 3M...Thanks alot!!!

I have been using this product for at least 15 years. on several occasions I have used another brand, only to back to the Scotch-Brite heavy duty sponge. I am a stickler for nice clean and shinny pots and pans. I can count on the scouring side for a good scrub, and the just right, thick sponge on dishes as well. Thanks for a great product!

When I eat off a plate or cook in a pan I want to know there is no hard "mystery" crud because my scrub sponge did not get it all off. My family is important to me and so is there safety. So when I use a Scotch Brite heavy duty sponge I know it's gonna get my pans and dishes CLEAN without ruining them.The sponge and srubby never separate like some of those other brands.So what can I say...You stick with what WORKS!!!Thanks SCOTCH BRITE.

I admit I am a cleaning fanatic! Okay, I know, it is just a sponge but this sponge is really much more. I have used them all and take my word for it that the Scotch Brite is the best at cleaning everything. The heavy duty is the one I use most. It will clean up anything with minimal effort. I have even used it on rust stains, dirty tile grout, paint spills and cement stains. With Scotch Brite you will never say, "I just can't get that clean". Just try it and you too will have that Ah-Ha moment. Reesa

I have used this sponge for decades. Suddenly the rectangle gets replaced with the wave shape. One sponge used to last me about three weeks. The wave shape is lasting about 3 days. It is thinner and much less dense. Sadly, I will have to look for another brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received the Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge to review, so here are my thoughts. Though I have used this product in the past, I never reviewed it. I also RARELY ever used the green scrubbing side of the sponge. I have only ever used the sponge itself and I use it with Bar Keepers Friend to either clean/polish my stainless steel double sink, or to clean my stainless steel pots. I have also used the sponge, again with Bar Keepers Friend on an old porcelain sink.

These sponges are fantastic. With the use of any powder or liquid cleaning agent these sponges go deep into baked on stains and wipe them away. They are strong but not damaging to my fine cookware. I've used them for a long time and they've never failed me. The old ones are used for 'germy' areas, floors and such and the cookware get the new ones.

It's sad to see a really great product get ruined (or shrinkflated). Both the sponge side and the rough side now only last about a quarter of the time it used to, and old sponges that I wisely (really accidentally) saved prove that. I've switched back to using those old, saved one along with some cleansing powder to get good performance for whatever life is left in them. I'll need to look elsewhere now for something capable of cleaning more than four stainless steel pans : (

I use my sponge all around my whole house. I keep one in the bathroom and kitchen and find them to be very easy to use and to have great absorbency. I like how they have a scrub texture on one side and the sponge on the other to soak up what ever cleaning substance you are cleaning up. I always buy extra's so I will have them when I wear out them out.

Scotch-Brite heavy duty sponges are a great companion when doing the dishes at home. They work very efficiently, especially when doing the pots and pans: They keep their shape and last much longer than any other brand. Additionally, with modern technology, I personally enjoy using the bigger yellow-side sponge, which works excellent towards any type of non-stick coated pots and pans.
