Post-Covid Quality Catastrophe
on July 25, 2024
Posted by: Amanda3400
I've used Dobie sponges for 15+years. Prior to Covid, they ranked 5+ stars. Post-Covid, I'd give them zero stars if I could. They.Are.Awful. Like many, many, many reviewers have taken the time to note, the mesh cover is looser, thinner, tears and creates holes within a handful of uses. Seriously, Scotch-Brite. You should have cut corners elsewhere. I'm angry that you've messed with a product that I've been using for so long. I'm going to have to find a new sponge.

Turning black
on August 3, 2024
Posted by: Tonylatt
We've been using these for decades but recently they are turning black. We think it's when we switched to Kirkland brand dish soap. Changing back to Dawn with a new Dobie to see if that is the cause. Has anyone else seen this happening?

WHAT HAPPENED to ScotchBrite products?!?!
on November 2, 2024
Posted by: Extremely Disappointed
I trusted & relied on Dobie sponges for over 10 years after trying them, but their quality/durability has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY the past few years. I thought it was just me, but after reading recent reviews, I'm not crazy after all. Just as others have described, the mesh is NOT what it used to be - a small hole starts and then consider the sponge a complete loss! Previously I would use them to wash plasticware, nonstick pots/pans, and glasses (no sharp areas to catch on the mesh), and they would last 2-3 months, then I would move them to the bathroom to clean my fiberglass tub enclosure! Like others, I continued buying them thinking I had gotten a few "bad" boxes. I bought them from different stores to see if that would improve my luck - even when the price continued increasing up to 40% more. I will NO LONGER throw away my hard-earned dollars! I stopped buying both the yellow & blue scrubber sponges years ago (PRE-pandemic) because the scrubbing section would separate from the sponge after less than 2 weeks. BTW...I never leave my sponges in water, roll & completely squeeze out several times after every use, and store upright on the counter to air dry. PS: Why won't the review allow me to select the recommendation of "0-Never"? I had no choice but to select '1" in order to submit this review!?!

Excellent product and going to order again soon!

I purchased this a while ago and just used it to clean the wood railing to our basement and the washing machine front loader rubber door seal and the bathroom tub. I am so pleased that it did NOT tear at all, so it was a joy to use it to clean with. Also liked how it rinses clean.

Flatter sponge not good.
on November 16, 2024
Posted by: Lew1
I have been using your Dobie dish washing sponge for many years. In the last box I bought, however, the sponges were flatter. It feels like I am washing dishes with a dish rag. Is this some "shrinkflation" thing? Sadly, unless this is an isolated manufacturing error, I will no longer be buying your product.

Deteriorating quality. Used to be sturdy , now , it seems to be breaking into pieces in just a matter of two weeks.

Much improved quality. Easily lasts a couple weeks vs a couple days with the regular sponges. Don't scratch our cookware.

Big drop in quality… I've used this product for over 40 years… Very disappointed. New "improved" product is wearing out after one week of use… see photo below
