I use the Heavy Duty sponges in my kitchen, with teenage boys not every plate gets rinsed & pans magically burn food. Thanks to Scotch-Brite my pots & pans are like new. The scrubber doesn't easily detach, yay!! Mine have always held up thru rigous elbow grease. After a while at dish duty I throw my sponges in the washer, I hate a smelly sponge,& they get a second life as clean up sponges (scrbber pad still attached) which is great for my toddlers lil mis-haps.

This is the new easier to handle shape. I love the fact that I can use a sponge with a scrub surface for the outside of certain pots and pans that have burned on grease and it comes off. Also, this sponge can be used on casseroles and other cooking items without worry of scratching the surface.

...I do my BEST to create a safe, healthy environment for my children. As such, I do not trust any other brand of sponges (and we use several types, although we could only pick one for this review, btw) for kitchen cleanliness. Thanks Scotch-Brite! :)

I have been using this product for many years. I have always had a good opinion of scotch-brite. These pads do the job. The only issue I have is, they do not handle any type of cheese product well. So, be sure to thoroughly rinse any cheese off of surfaces before using the pads.

I have tried different sponges to see if they hold up to this one, and no way. I do not even try other's anymore. This sponge is my life and always buy around 5 at a time. I use them on the stove where there is always drippings, I use them to scrub the toilet, and even the bathtub. This sponge does a fantastic job with any cleaning I do. Please do not stop making these because you are my lifeline to being clean !

Bring back the old sponge. The new sponge that is on the market now comes out of the package feeling wet and used up. When you do use it it’s effective for about 1/3 the time as the old formula. I throw them away now well before the sponge portion starts degrading. The scrub part stops cleaning the black marks from skillets, pans from my Porcelain sink well before the sponge wears out.

I have used the Scotch-Brite heavy duty rectangular sponges for years. As others have noted, over the past 2 or so years, I have noticed a slight decline in the durability of the sponges as the price has increased. However, with my last two purchases , I have reached my limit. I can no longer find the rectangular sponges - only the curved shaped ones - and they are TERRIBLE! They do not rinse cleanly (always feeling greasy), the green scrubby pills like a cheap sweater after only a few uses, and it just is a ridiculously inferior product. I am taking my money elsewhere, I am sorry to say.

Scotch-Brite heavy duty sponges have been a staple at our house for over 20 years. They have been the best until recently. The quality seems to be inferior now. The green pad falls apart after a couple of weeks. The change seems to have happened since they went from a rectangular sponge to a ‘wave’ shape. Please bring the high standards back!!!

I have been using the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty sponges for years and I can tell you from experience that these things last a long time...no matter what the use! I always keep one handy in the kitchen and in each bathroom. Sometimes I hate to throw them out because it seems like I could get one more use out of it/them. However, it's always nice to open a new package and work the next one to death. I would highly recommend this product to anyone I know (and anyone I don't know)!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received a promotional sample of the product, but was not paid for this review. How often have you reached for a scrubbie of some sort only to find that it is either worn out? Keep the Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge on hand for those occasions. Good in the kitchen, patio, barbecue or camper.
