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.

A simple rectangle is much easier to use and more effective in cleaning. Those curvy sides are utterly ridiculous! After reading all the recent negative reviews, I'm concerned the quality has also worsened. Very disappointed in this company, which I used to trust and admire. Not sure if you're going to retain my loyalty.

My family and I own several rental properties that require deep cleaning when a tenant leaves. The Scotch-Brite heavy duty scrub sponges are always top on the list of essential products needed when preparing an apartment for a new tenant. We use them to clean and scrub soap scum,calcium deposits, and dirt in shower tubs and bathroom sinks. We also use them in kitchen for everything from wiping down cabinet fronts with the sponge side, to scrubing down the inside of an oven on the scrubber side. These durable scrub sponges are very versatile and have proven to be a life and time saver for our family over the years!

I've used these for years. The last batch I bought was used for kitchen dishes and cleaning the kitchen counters and stoves. The rough side fell apart so fast I was totally "TICKED OFFFFFF!!!! Never going to buy these again. Gotta find a substitute.

I've been using scotch-brite scrubbers for longer than I can remember and the generic version is definitely no substitute. They seem to last a lot longer when you run them through the dishwasher or wet thoroughly (never dry) and put in the micro-wave for 4 min. I highly recommend them.

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!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Very user friendly. The size and shape are perfect to be able to hold onto. I have used several different sizes and shapes and this one is the best. It does a fantastic job, and holds up to heavy duty use. I received this product free to review.

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 love this sponge. I have two in the kitchen, one for dishes and one for cleaning. I keep one in each of my bathrooms to use on the shower and sinks and my husband has one to use when cleaning the cars. It's great having the scrubber & sponge as one unit. They hold up very well and are priced well also. Thanks for a great product.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the only heavy duty sponge that I will ever use. I have tried a lot of others, but this is the only one that get's the job done in everything I do. It is strong enough for use in the bathroom, washing floors by hand etc. I love this product. Also, it lasts a long time, not like those "white sponges."
