What happened to the aponges
on November 2, 2023
Posted by: ShaeB65
I purchased the 6 pack of multi-purpose sponges and knew they were weird just looking at the color of the sponges inside the package, but now everything being made is bad quality. I did not expect the sponges to fall apart by simply washing a dish. All 6 are garbage. I've been using these for years and have not seen this before. Thus system will not allow me to upload a picture of what's left after washing one plate.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A great decline in quality

I have used this product over 20 years and have noticed a steep decline in the quality of the sponges. This past year, every sponge I've used has split down the middle after only a week of washing up dishes. Sadly, I must give up on this product. What a shame.

I've been using OCello sponges forever. Why in the world have you started using the buff color??? That color is so ugly that it looks dirty from the moment I open the package and have to use it. I threw the first one away thinking there was a "bad" one in the package!!??
Please go back to your original colors!

What happened? Falls apart after a couple of uses
on February 22, 2020
Posted by: DD in NH
from New Hampshire
I have been buying, and have been very pleased with, Ocelo sponges for decades, until now. I was not a fan when there was a change a while back (I believe to resist odors) that caused them to be initially less absorbent . However, after several uses the absorbency increased so I overlooked that issue. But the last few packages I have purchased have been a complete waste of money. They fall apart after a few uses. Several have torn, a small rip developed the first time I used it and after a few uses it was half way down the sponge. Then the entire sponge started disintegrating leaving chunks of sponge everywhere. If they don't rip, they still disintegrate quickly.
I am trying to find a different brand, I won't be purchasing Ocelo again.
What happened to the sponge I have relied on for so many years?

Not the Ocelo sponges I've loved.

I'm extremely disappointed of recent purchases of your Ocelo sponges. They used to be reliable and durable and will last for weeks; but for some reasons, they start to shred and fall apart after a few usage.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Product has changed for the worse.
on December 19, 2019

Ocelo sponges used to be a very good product - I have used them for decades. The company recently made a very bad decision and have made the product MUCH thinner and less absorbent. I suppose the change was made to increase profits, but that may just backfire since I, for one, will no longer be purchasing them and I imagine the company will lose business from others as well. The company took an excellent product and ruined it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
