Scotch-brite sponges do a great job of scrubbing my pots and pans clean especially when I've forgotten to let them soak again overnight and they have caked on food from the night before(yuck!). The only thing I wish that could be improved is that the scrubbing pads wears out somehwat quickly thus I'm always needing to replace them and also no matter how hard you try to wring out your sponge eventually you start to get the nasty mildew smell. Hopefully one day a chemical will be added to prevent that. Otherwise, these sponges are great and I won't ever switch to any other brand for any reason.

I've been using these sponges since the 1970's. My mother in law introduced me to them. I have tried imitations in the past, but there is no comparison, They just don't hold up. I've since switched husbands and mother in laws, but I will never switch my Scotch Brite sponges!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the way I can use the scrub sponge on so many surfaces. It scrubs away stuck on food then cleans it up with the sponge side! Easy, saves me time and energy not to mention the way it saves my pots and pans.

Please note the last review of this product was in 2012. There must have been a change in the way this product's produced since then. I have been using these sponges for a long time, but recently, EVERY sponge I have bought like this gets the worst mildew smell almost instantly. After only one use the sponge becomes so mildewy you must replace. I know others that use this type and report the same issue! For a product that has been great for so long, this is a huge disappointment. I would buy another brand.

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!

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.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I like to cook sunday dinners and i use all of my pots and pans ,and these heavy duty scrubbing sponges work amazing on getting them all nice and clean in less time. I have used other brands and it took longer and more elbow grease.

I LOVE YOUR HEAVY DUTY SCRUB SPONGE! I HAVE TRIED OTHER SCRUB SPONGES, AND THEY BARLEY LAST A MONTH. YOUR SCRUB SPONGES LAST ME UP TO 6 MONTHS! I DON'T KNOW ABOUT EVERYONE ELSE, BUT I WOULD RATHER PAY ALITTLE MORE FOR SOMETHING AND HAVE IT LAST ME LONGER THAN TO CHEAP OUT AND ONLY HAVE IT LAST A FRACTION OF THE TIME. THANKS 3M FOR MAKING QUALITY PRODUCTS THAT DON'T EVEN COMPARE TO THE GENERAL PURPOSE PRODUCTS THAT MOST STORES OFFER!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used it for a bathtub that had mold mildew and caked on soap and layers of dirt. Used it with a bathroom cleaner and took it all off with minimal scrubbing. Very happy with this product and would definitely purchase it again. Recommended it to my daughter who is moving and has to clean up the new house and she likes it a lot too. Very good product.

Every year my husband emptys our pool out and scrubs the grime left on the sides of the pool. The only product he will use is the heavy duty Scotch Brite scrub sponge. It gets all the grime off with very little scrubbing. It cuts right through all of the mess that is left in the pool after he empties it. If I do not bring home the correct heavy duty sponge I have to go back to the store to get the correct sponges. Theis is a marvelous product and I would reccommend it to everyone I know.
