Compromised Quality
on September 27, 2017
Posted by: Greg in Boston
from Boston, MA
Ocelo has always been the gold standard in sponges for me--the sponge one could count on to absorb water well and stand up to heavy and repeated use. The composition of the product has obviously been changed. The package I recently bought has the same poor quality as cheaper sponges. Like the formerly inferior brands, Ocelo sponges, too, now push water around rather than absorbing it, and they have a cheap, plastic feel to them. Clearly they won't last long. Sad. Another good product sacrificed to higher profits. Where to turn now for a quality sponge? Clearly not Ocelo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Good product gone bad

I have to agree with the more recent reviewers. I have been using 3M sponges for decades and these used to be sturdy, long lasting sponges. Now, they easily tear and fall apart within just a few uses. Apparently 3M has clearly changed something with this product, whether manufacturing process or component suppliers. The bottom line is that there used to be incentive to pay a little more for a superior product; now there is no reason not to simply go with whatever is cheapest.

Get filthy really quickly
on August 7, 2017
Posted by: Susan
from Madison, NC
I have been a staunch partisan of sponges in the "sponge v dishcloth" battle for years, and I always found Ocelo sponges to be the best that were out there. However, for the past year or so I have found that after about 2 weeks, the Ocelo sponges are now filthy looking. I don't even want to look at them, they get so unsightly so very quickly. They may be anti-microbial, but that agent has done something else to them. I will be switching to dish cloths.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Used to be a great product --- no so anymore
on June 29, 2017

from Palatine, Illinois
I've been buying these sponges for years. I typically use them once a week for cleaning two bathrooms. They used to last me literally months --- now after only the second use -- the sponge is literally crumbling apart in my hands. I am going to search for another brand. Your company has turned them into absolute junk!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Falls apart after only a few usues
on May 6, 2017

I have been using Ocello sponges for years and have been disappointed lately with them beginning to tear or crumble after only a few uses. They used to last forever. I routinely run them through the dishwasher to keep them fresh, but I have always done this! What happened to my old reliable sponges?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Sponge breaks down and shreds.
on December 29, 2015
Posted by: shorty
from Suffolk, NY, United States
i have used these sponges for many years but recently notice that there is a marked diifference in their quality. the current sponges shred after one or two uses. I find this very unsatisfactory as I have to deal with sponge particles in my sinks. What happened to the sponges? Did the resistance to bacterial odor treatment cause this?
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
