I have tried almost every kind of sponge there is, and I keep coming back to these everytime. They hold a good amount of soap and foam, the green side gets off even tough dried-on food, and they last longer than most sponges. I love them!
I have benn using scotch brand all my life, specially the sponges but I have notice a couple of years ago that they become bad smelling after the second or third use. I use them to wash my dishes. I used the microwave trick, cleaning them in clorine, squezzing them very hard to keep them as dry as possible, no luck. I remember they use to last a lot without that bad germ or humid odor. Please do something. What happenned?
I have used Scotch Brite Heavy Duty scrub pads as long as I can remember. My Mother before me, used them so I grew up knowing that if I had a job that needed a good scrubbing, I could count on the Scotch Brite pad. Whether it's scrubbing dried food off a dish in the kitchen, the stovetop after a boil-over or BBQ sauce off the lawn chairs, I can always count on the pad. When it's down to almost nothing left, I can use it to scrub the floor of black marks! It washes beautifully so it can be used again and again. I would be lost without my Scotch Brite Scrub Pad in the kitchen, bathroom, utility room and patio! For an inexpensive cleaning solution, without harmful, smelling cleansers, it's the best!
I have am a long time user of the Heavy Duty Scotch Brite scrub sponge, yellow sponge with green scouring pad. I have always been very happy with this product. The Scotch Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponge has always "stepped up to the plate," (pun intended!), and performed very well, no matter what the task. In the past year, however, I have noticed that the Heavy Duty Scotch Brite Scrub Sponge dries completely overnight. This does not affect the performance in any way, shape or form. What I do find, however, is that after several, 4 or 5, occasions in which the sponge has dried out that the sponge develops a horrible odor and must be thrown away. I have tried multiple things to remedy this, including rinsing the sponge in bleach prior to putting it up for the day, and nothing seems to cure this problem. The odor returns as soon as the sponge is moistened again. The only remedy I have found is to rinse the sponge in something prior to using it for the first time each day. It is at that point that I can then continue to use the Heavy Duty Scotch Brite Scrub Sponge as normal, which for me is to use it for EVERYTHING! I love this sponge and will continue to use it. The only change that would be great if you could do it, would be to add something that would fight the odor that occurs when the sponge dries out. Other than that, the Heavy Duty Scotch Brite Scrub Sponge ROCKS!! It is the best scrub sponge out there! It is tough and lasts long, even with daily use.
This product is great for heavy duty use in the home as well as for heavy duty industrial-type jobs. As a remodeler and furniture refinisher, these pads come in handy for removing stubborn dirt or greasy residues on the job site-and are also excellent for cleaning tools as well as stripping paint and other finishes. When you need something that can hold its own against heavy dirt and intense scrubbing, definitely try these!
Love my heavy duty sponge, especially for food that is burned on or caked on my pans. I fill the pan with water for about 10 minutes and then take my Scotch Heavy Duty sponge to it -- minimal scrubbing on my part - I love the easy clean up!
My painter left drops of black paint on my front porch and the hose carrier. I was able to remove all the drops using the heavy duty sponges...it took about twenty minutes to restore my porch and the hose carrier. Those heavy duty sponges really rock.
