this scrub sponge is a great general all purpose cleaning sponge that i use for a variety of applications . . . from cleaning pots and pans to hard plastic ware to utensils to kitchen countertops and even in the end, toilets and floors. you get the product's lifetime of use with very little elbow grease needed.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We have used these sponges "forever" on everything in our kitchen, but as I am learning more about knives and knife sharpening I am concluding: Don't use the scrub side on knives. Only use the sponge side. When I made this change now my knives are staying sharper much longer. The scrub side does scratch knives, you can see this on the scrathed sides of your knife blades. And this also means that it is abrasive enough that it will dull the edge of your knife -- even if you aren't trying to dull your knife. So knifes equals sponge side only please! Clean up you knives before food dries on, but if it does, just soak your knives in water until the food softens up again.

I use my scrubies on my Calphalon pots. Since these were expensive pots I don't want to scratch them in cleaning. My Scotch Brite non scratch pads are just that. Have tried less expensive brands and went right back to the best. There is no substitution for quality.

I Love using these from washing the dishes to cleaning the kitchen! They are Wonderful, the scratch pad side cleans my pot and pans so quickly and the sponge side works great on counters,dishes, microwave, pretty much EVERYTHING!! I wouldn't trade Brands for ANYTHING!!

Quite honestly, I have to say I don't know what we would do without the Scotch Brite scrub sponge. I always keep them near my kitchen sink as I use it daily. The greatest thing about it is that this scrub sponge doesn't scratch my cookware (even non stick pans). Not only do I count on it in my kitchen, we use them at our place of business. We have a coffee counter with lots of coffee drinkers and go through lots of coffee cups. It keeps them in perfect condition for our customers. It's the only sponge I'll let my employees use to keep our cups and counter looking great! Thank you Scotch Brite.

I have been using Non-Scratch scrub sponges for many years and have never been disappointed. They never fall apart on me no matter how hard I scrub. I love the durability, and strength, and it never scratches my pots or pans, not even my dinner plates. Having arthritis is hard enough, these sponges are wavy and make it easier for me to grip them. I also use them on my counter tops, refrigerator, and even my flat top stove! I trust this sponge to clean it all and I am always pleased.

Have been buying these for years and used to love them. Now i will not buy them again. The product has changed for the worse. The sponge starts out slimier and flatter than the original and event he scrubber part seems less effective. The entire sponge last a fraction of what it used too and it takes on a foul smell sooner than before and falls apart in days vs months before.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 3M gave me a free sample of this product to evaluate, and I love it! The scrub sponge gets even the toughest grime off my stainless pots and pans without leaving a scratch. Will definitely be adding this to my shopping list!

The product quality of the Scotch-Brite non-scratch scrub sponge has deteriorated. The scrubbing part detaches from the sponge after a few uses. They must have changed the adhesive. Very disappointing. I paid a premium for an inferior product. I do not recommend this product.

I use this product for all of my dishware, plus I use this product on my shower doors and shower walls. I use it also on my patio set , when cleaning them for the summer. I want to make sure I use the best product, in which I don't have to worry about scratching anything.
