i have been using this product for decades. over the years i have found scotch-brite to be the most reliable brand of this type of product. it is efficient, easy to use and buy, practical, and cost friendly, given its life span. the only criticism would be the sterile factor. i microwave it, hoping this successfully kills most germs.
Love these sponges, handy having a scrubber already at hand when doing dishes. I've even used them to do drywall repairs with spackling, great for sanding the spackle, and use the damp sponge side to smooth out for a finished touch. Great for cleaning smooth stove tops too.
I have been using Scoth-Brite heavy duty sponges for many, many years. I tried other cheaper ones, they fall apart, tear or leave sponge parts on my dishes. I can trust Scotch-Brite sponges for all my cleaning. I keep one in each bathroom, use on stubborn shower doors mold, sink stains, hard water marks...it just seems so much easier when I use a scotch-Brite heavy duty sponge to clean with. In the kitchen, I use on non-stick pots, not a problem, it does not scratch them...my glass top stove, removes the stains, boil-overs, easy as pie.Stainless Steel sinks, works great...no spill is a match for Scotch-Brite heavy duty sponges. Even in my stove, I can use a very moist Scotch-Brite spopnge and get those hard to remove baked on and stuck on foods off, in minimal time. I have used them on outdoor furniture, plastic chairs and tables, charcoal grills, on the car to get off love bugs...I can't think of too many ways I do not use Scotch-Brite heavy duty sponges. I have even used one on my foot when I could not get the stuck on tape off from a bandage...LOL. So, they WORK, you just have to use alittle elbow grease on somethings, LOL.
I love the Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges & I use them every day. Whether it's for regular dish washing or having to scrub off a stuck on mess, they really get the job done with minimal effort. I also like them because they last longer and don't fall apart like alot of other sponges do.
