I only use Scotch-Brite sponges because they work the best on my dishes, pots and pans, and counters and tables. The best product in the sponge isle at my local grocery store hands down!
in regards to the heavy duty sponges I prefer to use the scrubber side, it is amazing how quickly I can get my dishes, pots and pans and even the stovetop clean with out using too much "elbow grease"! I will always buy this product to do the never ending dishes. The teen in the house also thinks it does a very good job too!
Many years ago, my mother purchased a beautiful set of stainless steel pans (a well known quality brand) and gave them to me as a gift. When I discovered Scotch Brite's Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge, I knew I would stick with this product. With the sponge on one side and scrubbing material on the other, it creates a versatile, effective cleaning machine! I still have my pans and they brand new!
This version of Scotch Brite scrubbing sponge lasts so long it reminds me of the Stride Gum commercial. Someone will have to come knock it out of your hand to replace it.
