[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This is a wonderful sponge that works hard but also does not scratch your pans. I have very expensive cookware and am picky about what I use to clean them and I use this sponge always and it never fails me.

I have been using these heavy duty scrub sponges by 3M for ages. Each pad has two sides: one is a yellow sponge, and the other is tougher dark green scrubbing surface. I have used these sponges mostly to do dishes; the green side works great for knives, they will not cut through it as you wash them, and also for scrubbing non-stick frying pans.However, dishwashing is not the only use these sponges have gotten over the years in my home. They have helped me to clean my stove, fridge, bath tub, shower, and a ton more. The yellow sponge will eventually wear out, but generally speaking, these pads are durable and long lasting.They are high quality, long lasting, and relatively inexpensive. They are the #1 selling scrub sponge in the United States for those reasons.

The last few times I purchased this product they fell apart in less than a week. I see a huge change in quality after many years and will have to find a new sponge. I bought several packages to make sure it wasn't just a bad batch. Huge decline, horrible product

I recently purchased a house that was formerly rented out to 4 frat college guys and wow!! did i have some cleaning to do...this sponge got everything that was dried on the back of the sink counters, under the counters, everything that was a mess stuck on cabinets and counters dried and hardened for gosh knows how long. My kitchen is now pristine...thank you

Scotch-brite sponges do a great job of scrubbing my pots and pans clean especially when I've forgotten to let them soak again overnight and they have caked on food from the night before(yuck!). The only thing I wish that could be improved is that the scrubbing pads wears out somehwat quickly thus I'm always needing to replace them and also no matter how hard you try to wring out your sponge eventually you start to get the nasty mildew smell. Hopefully one day a chemical will be added to prevent that. Otherwise, these sponges are great and I won't ever switch to any other brand for any reason.

I love this sponge,for daily dish cleaning,but I also have been using for years as an exfoliating sponge when I take a shower,use all over body and have shared with others ,you feel soo clean when you get out of the shower.It takes a little getting use to but works great especially on the face.Have friends that work with horses in dirt and mud all day,and have shared the info with them,they love it gets them extra clean.

This heavy duty spong is perfect for things besides dishes . It can be gentle on one side so you don't scratch things , but tuff on the other side to get those hard things to clean . This sponge is not flimsy like other sponges , so it last a long time . Its well worth buying .

Love your products in general. The green part of the sponge is fantastic, especially. Works great on cleaning off tough, stuck-on foods--even used it to clean my oven this weekend! However, the yellow sponge part could be a little more durable--mine always seem to fall apart pretty quickly. Also, the sponges are a little pricey in my opinion. One last thing is I love it that you put some soap on them so that none needs to be added at first use.

I use the Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge every single day when I do dishes. I can't live without it! It cleans my pots and pans and I have no doubt that they are pristine when I'm done. I even use it on my regular, everyday dishes when I have baked on cheese or hardened food. I've tried others but always come back to Scotch-Brite!

Since our dishwasher does most of the work, we have found that the Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge is the only addition we need to cover even the toughest jobs! This sponge can tackle stuck on food, even if there's no time for soaking. It is the only sponge we buy and I don't anticipate that changing. Thanks Scotch Brite! :)
