I personally have used Scotch-Brite products ever since they first came out. I suppose I just liked the name because I AM of Scotch descent. But I HAVE continued using them ever since, and the reason is BECAUSE they do the job, and they do it WELL. You can use Scotch-Brite pads on almost everything. Of course if it's made of something much softer than the palm of my hand, I always test the surface first (on the underside). We use them regularly on dishes, pots and pans, floors, windows, and almost everything else around the house that you can't "Just get clean with only a cloth". We used to used those wire impregnated scrub pads before, but DO THEY LAST? The answer is NO! DO THEY SCRATCH? The answer is YES! Do they RUST? The answer is YES? Do they stick you sometimes with little metal splinters? The answer is YES! AND, how long DO they LAST? The answer is NOT LONG ENOUGH! Do you think I like Scotch-Brite Pads? The answer is YES!! NOW, can you tell that I DO LIKE SCOTCH-BRITE products? YOU BETCHA!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have hard water thats hard to get off of my dishes but this scotch brite heavy duty scrub sponge did a wonderful job of removing all of the hard water rings on everything without leaving scratches on any surfaces, works great.

On board with other reviewers, have used these sponge/scrub pads since forever, but the latest batch from BJ's is useless. What happened to the quality? I guess upper management is trying to cut costs by selling a way thinner and inferior product. 1 star is being very generous. VERY disappointed and will look elsewhere from this point forward.

I use these sponges becasue they last longer and work the best. This scrubber is the best, because it does not scar or scratch the surface of anything I am cleaning. I have been able to get tough stains off my stove top without using harsh chemicals on it.

I have been buying Scotch Brite for many years. For a number of years I couldn't keep one though. My son was riding competition dirt bikes and every time I turned around he was stealing them to clean the mud and dirt from his motorcycle. Anyway, I don't see how anyone can live without them. Obviously, we can't.

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.

So I have been using Scotch Brite for since I can remember and I have never had a problem with their sponges. Actually untill today I was a huge advocate for sticking to the "name-brand" sponges. Even when the "off-brand" is on sale for 75% less. But this time Scotch-Brite, you failed me. I purchased a 3 pack of your Heavy-Duty Scrub Sponges and when I opened the package the green scrub part was basically FALLING OFF the yellow sponge. Like the glue just gave up and went to sleep. I know things like this happen during the manufacturing process right, so I am not upset it's a flipping scrub sponge, but it's 11pm at nigght and I have family coming over in the morning and now I cannot do all of my dishes. Now I have to HIDE my ditry pans dangit! I will probably give you guys another chance in hopes this was in face a "fluke" but man, this sucks. Also, I had to say No below when asked "Would you recommend this product to a friend?" because I can't guarantee this wouldn't happen to them...

I love Scotch Brite Heavy Duty scrubbing sponges! The scrubbing side lasts a long time. The sponge side doesn't wear away like other brands. There is no odor from the sponge. It's gentle enough to use on all my dishes, but tough enough to use on pots & pans. Overall, it's great!!

I have used Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponges for a long time and would never switch. They make messy, time consuming jobs so much easier. I do not have a dishwasher so I need to buy the best product to make my chores easier. I would never use generic sponges as they just fall apart and make my job harder. If you want to get out of the kitchen faster, use Scotch Brite heavy duty sponges.

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.
