[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used regular sponges forever, and one day I happened to run out so I had my friend bring over a sponge from her house. She brought a Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge and I couldn't believe the difference! I BARELY had to sit them in hot water, and everything scrubbed right off with such ease. This has made doing dishes SO much easier and less time consuming for me! This product alone has turned me into a VERY loyal Scotch Brite customer!!!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using the cheap scrub sponges for years, I thought saving 10 cents or so was great. I received a sample of the 3M- Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge. I had made some lasagna over a month ago and some of the oil from the cheeses left burned on oil on the outside of the lasagna dish. I cooked something else in the pan which was not messy. I thought maybe I'll try to get the oil marks off with this new 3M-Scotch Brite Scrub sponge. I just added a drop or two of liquid dish detergent and off they came with very little effort, some I had to scrub, but the majority was easy.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have used this specific type of Scot-bright sponge the most and will always continue to go back to it. By far the best sponge for those of us who do not have dishwashers and still hand-wash our dishes. One side is gentle enough to use on plates, and the other side is for hard-core scrubbing whatever-that-was on the bottom of the pan your teenager cooked and subsequently burned in the pot after school. Great for those though jobs, but great for the every day glasses and plates cleaning too.

This review is for the version of the sponge described on this web page: the one that has a rectangular shape (not the S-Wave version, where each long edge has the shape of a sine wave). This is an excellent 2-In-1 sponge. I've used these sponges for over 5 years, and I'm very happy with the design and consistent high quality. I've found the sponges handy for many types of cleaning, including cleaning: pots, pans, and dishes; counter surfaces; the inside of a self-cleaning oven (that is, for the required pre-cleaning before I use the "self-cleaning" feature); and aluminum assemblies that I fabricate for electronic projects. I've found that if I make sure to keep the Scotch Brite side of the sponge wet, and use hot water and a bit of dishwashing liquid, I can clean surfaces such as the inside of the glass window in my oven without scratching or harming the surface. I like the fact that this 3M sponge has a rectangular shape, instead of the S-Wave version, where each long edge has the shape of a sine wave. I've tried the 3M S-Wave sponges, and I don't like them. I believe the S-wave version is a flawed design for several reasons. (I plan to post a separate review of the S-Wave version.) I've read a few of the negative reviews on this page, where the reviewer says that he/she purchased a package of these sponges that had poor construction quality. The reviewer said that the sponges fell apart very quickly compared to the ones in other packages that the reviewer had purchased. I've never bought a package of these sponges that contained a poor-quality sponge. Each sponge I've used lasts a surprisingly long time. (I follow the instructions, which say to rinse out the sponge fairly often.)

I love Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponges! I keep some under the kitchen & bathroom sinks. They work great even if your mess isn't "heavy duty". I use them to keep my faucets shiny, without scratching! The greatest part is that they last a very, very long time & you don't have to worry about them rusting into bits or leaving a rust stain on the sink.

the heavy duty scrub pads worked great i used them on my dirty jobs that other scrub pads wouldnt do and i needed brillo pads on. the scotch brite pads reduce the need for brillo pads and helped reduce the time of cleaning dishes i would recomend these to anyone they are great.

The Scotch Brite Heavy Duty scrub sponge is amazing! I have used this product to clean just about everything in my house and on my boat. I have not scratched anything with this sponge. The price is right for the power.I would reccomend this to all of my friends and family. What a time savor.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The scratchy side of the sponge works great on things like my sink, the bottoms of pans, and other things that won't let bits of food get stuck in the scrubby green mesh. I don't like food to get stuck, so I don't use it on pans that have food stuck to them, but that's just me. I like that it doesn't scratch my porcelain sink, or the bottoms of pans. Disclosure: I was sent this sponge in order to get my honest opinion about it.

I have been using these sponges since I can remember. I've used them for diaper pails, bathrooms (toilets, sinks, tubs, you name it), kitchen, and they've never failed to get the job done. I use them on impossible to clean messes like spills I thought would never come out, but they always do!! My husband used to laugh because I'd refuse to buy anything else. Once a few years back he inherited the worst grill I'd ever seen. I wanted to throw the thing, but he insisted on keeping it. He set to work on it (it took 2 Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Sponges and some elbow grease), but in the end, that grill was almost like brand new!! Made a believer out of him. Now he refuses to use anything else.

I have a wonderful set of cookware and will not use anything but your scrubber sponge to clean them. They help me keep them looking just like they did when I got them. I have reccomended them to everyone that sees my cookware and wants to know how I keep them so pristine.
