I can trust this scrub sponge because I can scrub hard enough on pots and pans and even my gas stove top to remove spills and burnt-on food without scratching, but soft enough to wipe objects clean with the sponge.
The long lasting and quality is what I like best. It does not separate or come apart. You can literally use it until it is worn not if you want to do so.
Not only is this product great for scrubbing my dishes, kitchen sink, etc, but it can stand up to me constantly tossing it into the dishwasher for steralizing.
