[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 you Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponge & Scotch Brite Scrub pads since they first hit the stores.I have tried others, your products are the best by far. From kitchen sinks,floors,walls to scrubbing toilets. From my Mom to my Grandchildren to my Facebook friends, we all use your products.

I’m not sure about all the negative reviews, but I’ve used these sponges for years and years and never had any issues with quality. I like these for clean up because one side is for scrubbing, and the other is for general cleaning. I like that one sponge can be used for multiple uses also. I will continue to buy these until I experience my own quality issues.

I have used the Scotch Brite heavy duty scrubber sponges for years. They work. I have tried other brands, but they do not live up to the Scotch Brite brand. I do not use regular sponges, only these. I throw them in the dish washer to sterilize them also. Great product!

Please note the last review of this product was in 2012. There must have been a change in the way this product's produced since then. I have been using these sponges for a long time, but recently, EVERY sponge I have bought like this gets the worst mildew smell almost instantly. After only one use the sponge becomes so mildewy you must replace. I know others that use this type and report the same issue! For a product that has been great for so long, this is a huge disappointment. I would buy another brand.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love a clean sink and this heavy duty scrub sponge makes it possible with a free sample I received to evaluate. It is a little stiff but still pliable. Works well with a liquid abrasive. That’s why this will sit on the edge of my sink!!

I love these sponges and have used them forever. I love the way they work and others can not compare. You can use them for your hard jobs or for your easy ones just the same because you have a soft sponge on one side and the heavy duty scrubber on the other. I will never use anything else.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is the brand I always buy. Great value for the product. Works well on a variety of messes. Like that I can reuse it, it holds up really well. I signed up to evalute products for 3M and they sent me this sponge free to review.

I love this sponge and only buy Scotch Brite brand because they last longer. To sanitize these, all you need to do is throw it in the dishwasher once in a while. They are sturdy and I use it for scrubbing dishes and cleaning my counters. They are fantastic.

I love the heavy duty scrubbers. I feel like Scotch-Brite knows more about cleaning than any other company. All the products are good, but the heavy duty cleaning sponge works great. I like to scrub my cookware on the outside and this sponge does the job. It is also great for cleaning up the grill, oven and stovetop.
