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 an electric, flat top stove. When we purchasd the stove, we didn't realize that the light top was going to be so difficult to keep clean. The heavy duty scrub sponges really help get the cooked on mess off the stove top easily. It's the only product I will use!

[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."

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.

These Scotch Brite scrubbers are the best. I cook for a large family and have cooked in restaurants. I use these all the time. The really make my job a lot easier. I do not have to spend hours scrubbing my pots and pans. Thank You for coming up with such a wonderful product.

Wow, I love these Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponges. My boyfriend bought my first package of this type of scrubbing sponge and now I totally adore them. I can have the worst baked-on, stuck-on stuff on a pan and this sponge is like a wonder tool. I rate these sponges at 5 stars

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?

The dark green side of the heavy duty sponge will take scratch marks off stainless steel sinks and pots. Fantastic porduct as the little scratchs kept the sink from looking clean and caused it to grab dirt and grese causing it to become actually dirty faster. And yet it does not marr my delicate stuff like china and is easy on my hands. You would think anything that would clean steel would scratch like crazy but it doesn't.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product to test & review and as a loyal Scotch Brite sponge customer, I can honestly say that these HEAVY DUTY sponges do have amazing scrubbing power without scratching the surfaces which I tested them on. Tested on my toaster oven racks, sheet pan and my stainless steel pans too! Can't wait to test them on my outside grill when the snow stops!! ;-)

I have been using Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Sponges for years and I use them for everything. From washing dishes to scrubbing the oven, they meet my every need. The sponge holds together so nicely, every when used under very harsh circumstances, and the scrubber pad can take a beating too.
