Like other reviews, I have been a loyal Dobie user for many year$. I use to love them for washing dishes, cleaning the bathroom and other cleaning jobs. In the past I could use the scrubber for twice as long. The mesh is poor quality and I'll soon be switching brands.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have used these for so long. I do not clean with anything else. My mother used them and I have used them since I have been out on my own and I'm 65. Great product. I would recommend them for anything!
I have seen many other reviews that say the same thing that the outside mesh is breaking down unacceptably fast. Over the last year we have found that we are getting about one week before hole and then several holes appear in the mesh. I don't know if we have gotten a bad lot or what. We have been using Dobie scrubbers for many years and thought we should give it more time and some feedback. In the past we would use them at the Kitchen sink and when a scrubber would develop a hole I would then take it for use in the garage and still get more use out of them but now the mesh goes too quick to get even cost effective time use at the kitchen sink.

The quality has plummeted. Dobie pads used to last for weeks. When they wore out, we used them for bathroom cleaning. Now they last for days.

After years of being Dobie customers we had to call it quits. The pads disintegrate within days. my wife and I suspect the quality has erode in the foolish hope customers will just buy more. Not these customers!

I agree wholeheartedly with the comments from 3-4 years ago re: declining quality. I have been bemoaning the fact that the mesh on my Dobie pads seems to rip on the 2nd and even first use lately and I am careful not to use the Dobie on the edge of my knives or other sharp parts. My mom recently died and I found several 10-year old boxes of Dobies under her sink. I compared them to my new Dobies and the mesh was tighter on the old Dobies and made from a different material. Since 3M doesn't disclose on the box what the material is/was, I can't correctly explain it but the old Dobies last 3-4 months compared to only 1-2 weeks for the new material. But poor as the current materials are, I don't know what to replace my Dobie with. 3M - any chance you are listening to all of us and working on improving the mesh quality? Are the new materials different than the old ones? I started using Dobies in the 70's!

I have been using these for years. The last boxes I purchased last week says they were made in Mexico. I have thrown out 6 of them because even when wrung out thoroughly, they develop green mold overnight. This never happened before. What changed?
