Product quality has gone way down

Posted by: longtime customer
I have been a loyal customer for years but over the last few months noticed the scrubbing pads only last about a week (if that) before the outside mesh falls apart. At first I thought it was a fluke, but after trying several different scrubbers, I can see this is clearly not the same quality product I had been purchasing over the years. What happened, 3M? Sadly, I will be looking for another product - won't buy this again.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I want to echo previous comments about the “current” donor pad. Not only have I been a user but I worked for a wholesaler in New Jersey and sold Dobie for 35 years. For the past 6-8 months the product I have purchased in South Carolina is inferior to the product I sold and used for years. It lasts maybe a week being used simply to scrub pots and pans with Barkeepers Friend as I have for years. Very upsetting

I have been using the Dobie pads for many years, but now they develop holes within a short period of time. What gives? Are there different manufacturing centers that might account for the differences in the product? Very disappointing as now I need to find a better quality product.

I am another customer that has used Dobie sponges for decades. They barely last a few cleanings before beginning to tear. My pattern of cleaning has not changed, so I look to you for answers as to why they don't last any longer.

I've been using Dobie pads for decades and have always loved them. It's apparent that you recently changed the manufacture and they are simply AWFUL now! I've gone through two boxes of 3, thinking that maybe they weren't all defective...but sadly not the case. They get a hole after a few days of normal dish washing and then the hole just grows, rendering them useless. PLEASE BRING BACK THE OLD DOBIE PADS that we all love!

I have been using Dobie pads for years, loved them. One would last several weeks or months with intermittent cleaning. Now I go through one a week, the mesh covering just designates. I think your quality control is out of control. Looking for a new product.

I rarely write reviews for products, but I've been so disappointed with the Dobie pad over the last few months, that I decided to contact you about the product. I was very surprised that I'm not the first one to write about the mesh that falls apart after only a few uses!!!
My mom used Dobie for years while I was growing up, in fact I can't remember her using anything else! I have now been a loyal user of the Dobie pad for at least 20 years, and have never had any issues with it. It has always been a good solid, dependable cleaning and scouring pad. Sure, after months of use it would slowly become stained or a small hole would start, but it would, truly, last for 4-6 months. Putting it in the dishwasher didn't hurt it either. Now, I can't go a week without getting a hole in the mesh.
I'm so disappointed and hope that you can re-work the mesh to what it used to be. Otherwise I'll need to find another cleaning pad that is up to the challenge.
