I am terribly disappointed, I had such high hopes for these sponges. It’s hard finding a sponge that will last weeks and resist odor. I have loved using Lysol sponges for this exact reason but they are hard to find in store so I was told great things about ocelo sponges and decided to give them a try. I bought a large pack and washed dishes that first night. The next morning the whole sink stunk so bad, it was the sponge. I couldn’t believe it, I was so disappointed. Every time I touch the sponge it leaves a horrible odor on my hand that is hard to take away even after sanitizing and washing the sponge. Horrible quality!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I used to buy this brand all of the time. The last few packages have been terrible. They break down after 1 use. I used to be able to use the same sponge for months. I am very disappointed.

I have used these sponges for years for washing dishes (including my non-stick pans), wiping the counters, cleaning the sinks, etc. I've been very happy with these sponges. (The only thing I don't like is the pink sponges! They are yukky to me. And I'm a female. Please switch to green or orange or blue, please.) Thanks, 3M.
I have been hoping for decades that your company would make these sponges in white or beige. The circus colors (bright pink, green, etc.) stand out like a sore thumb in my kitchen and bathroom. PLEASE consider white or beige in the handy sponge line, as I only buy the soft kind (not with a scrubby side), and would SO GREATLY APPRECIATE a better color palette.
The last several packages I purchased have had a horrible odor after using for only one week. The pkg says "resists odors guaranteed" but I think not!

What has happened to the production of OCELO sponges now??? They DO NOT ABSORB WATER ANY MORE!!! I've used them my entire life - something has changed in the past 6 mths or so in the manufacturing of them. All they do is push the water around on my countertops! NO ABSORPTION WHATSOEVER!!! Sooo disappointed in the company! Had to go on-line to find different sponges to try now. Really can't believe they would sacrifice their good name in the cleaning industry for this junk now.

I’ve been a loyal ocelo sponge buyer for as long as I can remember. They were sturdy and never developed an order like the generic sponges. The quality of ocelo was worth the cost. Notice that I’m speaking in the past tense? I am no longer satisfied with this brand. Something has changed? Although the package says “Resists Odors Guaranteed”, these “new” ones smell awful...even after having been run in the dishwasher. I might as well buy sponges at the dollar store now. Please bring back the former sponge.

My favorite sponge no longer. Why change a product when it's a hit? What have you changed that has caused so many complaints?. The last purchase I made was also inferior, it was noticable right out of the package. After only a weekend of doing dishes it was time to throw the sponge out when previously it would last a few weeks. One can only surmise that someone received a bonus by suggesting going cheap. Bad idea. I hope you can see by all the disappointed consumers that the change wasn't worth it. Bring back the product we were happy with.
