It is such a pleasure to use the Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge to clean delicate surfaces like the tub, counters, pots and pans, and even my stainless sink. It is just the right size to clean and not scratch any of these surfaces. In fact, I can not wash the dishes if I do not have my Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge available. After they are past their use in the house, I use them to clean my many bird baths.

I love the Scotch-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge because it helps me carry out my new eco-cleaning plan—that is using greener, natural cleansers instead of the typical chemical-laden cleansers. The Scotch-Brite scrub sponge lets me use natural cleaners and still get fantastic cleaning results. My sink gleams without those nasty chemicals. Thanks ScotchBrite!

Something has changed for the worse in the manufacturing of these sponges. I have used these religiously for years and years, buying them in bulk from Costco. The sponge has always performed as promised and each sponge would last a good long while. When the sponge would get dirty, I would send it through the dishwasher and it would come out as good as new! BUT NO LONGER!! Now, any oily residue on my dishes gets absorbed into the sponge and remains trapped there. Sanitizing them through the dishwasher cycle does nothing. Sanitizing them in water with a little bleach does nothing. In less than a week they become dirty useless bricks that won't even absorb water!! They are now useless kitchen tools lasting barely longer than a paper towel. It's interesting how it's the little things in life that produce both the greatest joy and the deepest disappointment. I'm not a review writer usually. A sponge is a tool which helps us solve problems: it cleans up messes and accidents. And the Scotch Bright non-scratch scrubbing sponge that WAS was an amazing little workhorse that came through every time and was a great value as it held up to rigorous scrubbing and was able to be cleaned and sanitized and used again and again. This NEW sponge, however, doesn't help me solve problems but has become a problem in and of itself. It locks into itself dirt and grime, it smells, and must be discarded by weeks end. Very disappointed in the changes made to these sponges!

I used to use the heavy duty sponges for washing my dishes until I came across the Non-Scratch Sponges in the store one day & decided to give them a try. My youngest son had given me a large non-stick skillet as a gift & he's always yelling at me for not using the plastic utensils you are supposed to use with non-stick cookware (hence, that's why I only have 1 non-stick pan! LOL). Anyway, I thought I would try it thinking it certainly wouldn't work as well as the heavy duty sponges in getting off baked on food... Boy, was I wrong! Worked like a charm!!! It even gets hard, baked on food off of pots & pans and NO; it didn't even scratch OR hurt the finish! Great job/product, guys!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this free to evaluate and was a little concerned about reviews that mentioned an odor. It did smell a bit a bit funny when I opened the package, but that went away with the first use and it has NOT smelled since,. I waited to write the review to see how it lasted and I have found it be fine. I haven't experienced any issues and would recommend it.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This free sample came in handy in cleaning the kitchen. While it's non-scratch it still was able to scrape off (the "scratchy" side!) all the grime from around the kitchen sink. There are so many nooks and crannies where dirt, etc. can accumulate, but this sponge got into every little corner and scrubbed them clean.

These sponges don't scratch my stove top or my glass wear. If I use them on the horrible fiberglass tubs they don't scratch it either. With 6 guys living with me, all related, you know that don't think about what they grab to clean something. So hey this sponge saves me from sighing. rwb

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Purchased a 9 pack of these sponges from drugstore, the quality has degraded & I won't be buying these again. In addition to breaking down in about 5 days of normal use, the sponge itself has a nasty odor. I threw the rest of the package away.

I use the sponges daily for washing dishes. They work great but I found that they start to smell after a few uses. I am washing the sponges as thoroughly as I can but I am unable to avoid the smell. I found information onlne that has helped a lot which is to microwave the wet sponge for a minute after use. That works but it seems to degenerate the sponge more quickly.

I had always used this product but when another brand had their's on sale I said "Why not". It was money down the drain. Scotch-Brite non-scratch sponge last longer, it doesn't crumble and fall apart after a few uses and it doesn't scratch your pots and pans. I learned my lesson, Scotch-Brite yours is the BEST!
