I've bought these scrubbers for years. They were always perfect for removing dried, stuck-on food remnants. Unfortunately, they either decided to save money by using a crappier scrubber material, or make more money by making them deteriorate so we would replace them more frequently. Or both. The new material seems to soften in warmer water, so it doesn't work very well. It's so soft, that when you rub it with your fingers, it feels greasy. The only reason that it is marginally better than the dollar store brands is because the scrubber and sponge parts don't peel apart. If China improves their adhesive, we can all use those, instead.

Why screw up a perfectly great design? These new sponges are too small to wipe a chef's knife with one pass, which makes them dangerous to use. They're too small to use on larger cookware and impossible to use when trying to wipe a cutting board or the bottom of a sink. This was designed by someone who never uses a sponge in a kitchen. This makes "New Coke" look like a brilliant idea.

I love the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub pad with sponge. They are tough and last a long time. I use one for dishes and kettles, and one for side boards and cupboard faces. We keep one in the bath for the sink and one for the shower in each bathroom. They also are nice to have in the car for cleaning up spills. We always take a few along when friends are moving in or out of an apt. or home and a bunch of us get together to help clean up the place for the couple. It sure makes clean-up a breeze! Removes stubborn stains quickly with the scrubbing end. And the sponge cleans up easy too. I want to try the 'Greener Clean' when it gets up our way! I'm always looking for a way to help the Environment. Thanks for the Review!

I have purchased other discount sponges and you know the saying, "you get what you pay for". How true that is. After using a discount sponge recently, the sponge fell apart while using it and lost its effectiveness quickly. If you're going to buy a sponge buy the best. Buy Scotch-Brite.

scotch-brite cleaning sponges have always effectively cleaned my counter tops, sinks,bathrooms, tile,etc...etc... i love them. they work great in tough jobs places that havent been cleaned in years, like underneath large appliances. extremely effective when moving,and the prices are always reasonable.i also buy them for my construction worker husband to take to work.

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 !

I love these scrub sponges. I use them for cleaning stubborn spots on pots and pans. I also use them in the bathroom tub and sink to clean away grime and soap scum. They come out sparkling clean. My daughter introduced them to me. She uses them all the time also.

I've been using scotch-brite scrubbers for longer than I can remember and the generic version is definitely no substitute. They seem to last a lot longer when you run them through the dishwasher or wet thoroughly (never dry) and put in the micro-wave for 4 min. I highly recommend them.

I have been buying Scotch Brite for many years. For a number of years I couldn't keep one though. My son was riding competition dirt bikes and every time I turned around he was stealing them to clean the mud and dirt from his motorcycle. Anyway, I don't see how anyone can live without them. Obviously, we can't.
