I have used other scrub sponges in the past. They usually end up falling apart within a week. Recently, I have been using Scotch Brite non scratch sponge. This sponge holds up to the billions of dishes I do and does not scratch my coated pans.
I dislike this sponge for one reason - the sponge and the srubbing part of the Scrub Sponge separate very quickly so long before the Scrub Sponge is worn out it becomes useless as a unit. You have the sponge part with an unattached scrubbing part to work with. I can't believe that poor quality glue to attach these two pieces is necessary. I use the green pads and they never have this problem. It surprises me that everyone who reviewed this product has only good things to say about this scrub pad.

For years, I've only used Scotch Brite Non-Scratch sponges to my clean my kitchen and bathroom. I love that these sponges have an abrasive side, which is safe to use on my pots and pans, but also a sponge side to wipe up with. Just a smartly designed product that works well.
