[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] For the most part I am not usually a fan of sponges. These changed my mind! I received these as a free product to try. I am definitely sold. They retain their shape and do not smell. I have washed it in the dishwasher, it came out just like right out of the package!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] If you are not looking for something with a rougher kind of scrub texture, these sponges are perfect. They do the job well and don't get a slimy feel to them. Soft and gentle so no scratching. Kitchen, bath, most household jobs.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product for free so I can review it. I like using this sponge in the bathroom to wipe up splashes and spills. It rinses out well and the different colors make them fun. I also use these sponges to clean my kitchen sink. They do the job well, teaming up with my cleanser.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this product to wash my stick free pots and it worked really well. Also used slightly damp to clean marks from painted walls. But the best use was to wash my car. In all cases, it was very absorbent
Whatever changes have been made to the structure of this product - they are not working! It breaks within a day or two - doesn't absorb like it used to and I won't be purchasing anymore. Not fit for purpose sadly.

We have been using Ocello sponges for years and they have been a great product. Now, out of nowhere 3M has decided to cut costs and lower the product quality significantly. Needless to say, we will be looking for a new brand of sponges to use. Hey 3M, it's not a good business model to change a quality product to gain more profit. Sometimes it's just better to raise the prices slightly and keep your customers happy.

I am truly sick and tired of companies making such a poor product and then raising the price. Your sponges were never this poor. They now fall apart and I toss in the garbage.
The lack of colors is not important, except certain color yellow/beige brings roaches with it. Never buy these colors. Since when are they multi-purpose sponges, was always heavy duty. How many months were you off the market and this is what you are not selling. Truly disgusted.

I have been using O-celo sponges for years ( before the merger with Scotch-Brite). The dimensions of the Handy Sponges went from 4.7"x3"x0.6" to 4.5"x2.7"x0.6". It was already a small sponge and now it is even smaller. They are also not as absorbent as the old sponges. It is very frustrating.
