There is many things to consider when purchaseing a sponge for dish washing. What material is it made from,does it scratch, is it ergonomically shaped to hold easy, does it work really well. AND, Scotch brite sponges are all I trust to do just all those things, affordably and reliably every day! I dont buy or use any other sponges.

Well.............I have tried other look a like sponges that were cheaper and that is exactly what I got, a cheap sponge that really didn't work very well. I tried the one from aldis foods, it look and felt just like the Scotch Brite....hahaha NOT EVEN CLOSE! I had to scrub and scrub to get my pot cleaned, and that was after soaking the pot. I had a used Scotch Brite sponge laying around yet, and even used it worked better than the new one I had bought. That convinced me that there was no use in buying a sponge for cleaning other than Scotch Bright....I'll never buy anything else, Thanks Scotch Bright.

I always keep a supply of the Scotch-Brite non scratch sponges. They clean non stick pans so easily that I rarely put the pans in the dishwasher. This helps keep the non stick finish lasting longer. If any dish has baked on or dried on food I quickly use this sponge to loosen the spots before putting it in the dishwasher. They are also good for cleaning the kitchen sink.

The only reason I gave 4 stars, I prefer SCOTCH -BRITE'S "GREENER CLEANER, NATURAL FIBER NON-SCRATCH SCRUB SPONGE". The non scratch sponge I'm reviewing,it really does clean it ALL, pot & pans, glass, tv & computer screens,counter-tops, hand cleans floors, my *favorite use.. it picks up pet fur so...well. I,still buy them, I'm sold for life on these great tough working sponges. I'll never purchace any other type or brand. ONLY SCOTCH-BRITE WILL DO& DO THE WORK FOR YOU ! I LOVE "ALL" SCOTCH BRITE PRODUCTS THAT I'VE EVER TRIED. THANK YOU, SCOTCH-BRITE FOR THE BEST, TOP OF THE LINE,SPONGES !!!

It works really well on my non-stick pots and pans without scratching them. I like the that they are thin and flexable so I can easily get into the bottom curves of the pans, yet they are wide enough to hold onto for the outside enamal coating of the pan. It cleans there just as easily. I also found that the flexability allows me to get down into the sink drain and scrub crud from the groves and not tear up my hands or have to deal with pieces of the scrub left behind.

I admit it, I am not the happiest dishwasher/kitchen-cleanupper. The cooking part I like - the after effects...not so much. Which makes this little sponge terrific. Gets all the grime up and I don't have to worry about taking the finish off counters, stovetops and pans.

I love this product...does not scratch surfaces of pans and I use it on black stove top where I sometimes need a better product for cleaning than a paper towel. also it is very inexpensive to use compared to paper towels which can only be used once, then thrown away.

I can't remember using any product other than Scotch-Brite non-stratch scrub sponges. Years ago my husband purchased these lil miracle workers & the sponges remain on our stable list; yesterday,today and tomorrow!! The sponges are effective,smooth to the touch and save one time and energy. I can use them on my teflon pots & pans,oventop,microwave and so many other appliances as well as surface areas without the worry of the results of a strong abasiver. No need to use muscle as the sponge does the work for you coupled with saving you time that could be better spent on more enjoyable ventures!!!

I was pleasantly surprised that this product actually did what it said it would. In the past I have used products that have claimed that they did not scratch items and they did after some wear scratch the items in question. This product, Scotch Brite's Non-Scratch scrub sponge does NOT scratch the nonstick pans at all. It gets the pan clean well and keeps the non-scratch coating intact. I would recommend this to anyone.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I loved using these sponges! They are very sturdy and work so well to clean up my kitchen messes. I've used them to wipe off crumbs and spills from my counter AND to fight off tough stains on my dishes and pots and pans. I was very surprised at how well they're holding up too. I've used them for several weeks and they're still in tact. They also do had a odor like other brands of sponges I've used. I definitely recommend them!
