I had my husband buy me a package and he put one new sponge out for me. I started to use it and immediately hated it. The new shape masks a thinner sponge. It’s so bad I thought he’d bought the store brand. Nope good old 3-M! Give me my old one back!

Scotch Brite blue scrub pads are perfect for daily uses. Use them for glassware, silverware, dishes, then our Teflon pots and pans and in that order. After its kitchen use it is used in the bath for cleaning. They wash well in a hot bleach for reuse and of course become a bit shriveled after the hot dryer to kill all bacteria. They do pick up some stray lint which is easily picked off. Once wet again it's good to go again. I avoid using the scrub side of the sponge for cleaning up melted cheese as it is more challenging to remove from the sponge. We buy these in bulk from the local box store.

I have a small homestead complete with turkeys, ducks, chickens, and rabbits... which means a lot of 'mess'. I love these Heavy Duty sponges for cleaning all the watering jugs/bottles, feed dishes, and cages. I also like using them for my dog bowls and plastic kiddy pool. These sponges perform over and over and make the job easy!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love this sponge. Love the fact that it has a soft side & a tough, rough side. I use it to wash dishes & when it starts getting a slight smell, I wash it in the dishwasher & sometimes reuse it on dishes; otherwise I use it to clean almost anything from bathtubs, sinks, toilets, cars, floors, etc. The rough side gives me the extra elbow grease (so to speak) that a small person like myself doesn't necessarily have & with the right cleaning product, I've been able to remove tough dirt that I've been trying to remove for years unsuccessfully; I was totally amazed by what it did as a cleaning tool in a shower that would absolutely not come clean with anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was given one of these to review and I love them. They hold up well. I love the scrub side, it gets the most stuck on gunk off. It helps take the work out of doing the dishes and I can wipe down my counter tops and stove top all without switching tools.

A simple rectangle is much easier to use and more effective in cleaning. Those curvy sides are utterly ridiculous! After reading all the recent negative reviews, I'm concerned the quality has also worsened. Very disappointed in this company, which I used to trust and admire. Not sure if you're going to retain my loyalty.

Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty sponges are the only ones we use at our house! They last forever & really do the job on difficult messes. We wouldn't use anything else. We've tried store and cheaper brands, but they don't last as long as Scotch-Brite. Your product coupons help tremendously. Keep up the good work!

I used to loveeeeee these sponges and have always always bought this brand over all competitors brand out there but in the last 2 years the change is noticeable but still doable to work with. But the last pack I bought this past week has been horrendous. Within 4 days of use the sponge looks like it's been used for 3 months. And it happened with all 3 sponges in the pack. The quality has definitely decreased in the last 2 years but I will be looking into another brand.

As a wife, mother of 5, grandmother of 9 and great grandmother of 1 I do a lot of cooking and cleaning. I love my scotch brite heavy duty sponges because it makes it faster and easier for me to clean up all those large messes and gives me more time to spend with my family. Thanks Scotch Brite, I really appreciate your products. This one especially.

I've used these for years. The last batch I bought was used for kitchen dishes and cleaning the kitchen counters and stoves. The rough side fell apart so fast I was totally "TICKED OFFFFFF!!!! Never going to buy these again. Gotta find a substitute.
