    What did you do to our favorite sponges? We always buy a large pack at the club store. This new design is a complete waste now. They don't retain as much water and fall apart so easily.

    Quality is gone as they shred with minimal use

    Ive been using these forever (im 76) and have always found them to be good quality and lasting. In the last year, and several diff purchases, the quality has gotten SO bad i will be looking for another product. The sponges are drek and start shredding and falling apart after just a few uses of normal dish washing. Very disappointing that yet another tried & true product has turned into crap.

    I have bought this product for over 20 years but just recently this product doesn’t last anymore as they have changed the sponge which crumbles in one use. You can use a brand new sponge and rinse it underwater and then just squeeze it out and the sponge is already breaking up before you even use it. I will not be buying this product anymore 😡😡😡😡

    I don't know what or why the scrub side changed (yellow/green scrub sponge) but it's HORRIBLE & CHEAP now!!! Seems to gave changed when you changed to the wavy one. Don't "fix" or change what's not broke!!!! They used to last but now it's like a week before the scrub side starts shredding/falling apart. Not cool to make a cheaper product so people have to buy more often to line corporate pockets! I'm sure my review (or others that have posted similar) will make a difference, but it should when you ask what people think!

    This is my second and last purchase of Sponge Brite heavy duty sponges. They are the worst sponges I have ever used. They start falling apart with just a few uses. Disappointing is an understatement. I tried to upload a photo but I didn't have that option. Also, option O-Never doesn't work either.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Good sponges. I appreciate getting to try them. I always thought Scotch-Brite made good sponges, so no real surprises there. They stay together, they scrub nicely and don't scratch my pots and pans which is very important to me. I don't use metal utensils when using my pots and pans and I like having a tougher non scratch sponge to use. I don't always use sponges and will rotate them into other projects and they end up used on the floor before I throw them out. It's nice these sponges hold up through the whole rotation and work as well on the last use on the floor/ outside cleaning as they do on my pots and pans.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love the Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges for tackling the hard jobs that destroy other sponges. These are great for the tough messes on my grill and broiler pans and I know they will hold up for several uses. I received a free sample of the product, but my opinion is honest and based on my uses.

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] All around great product! The green side is the scouring side. It removes tough baked on food from my expensive pans without scratching them. The other side is a lot softer but has great scrubbing power also. I use the soft side to remove lipstick from my drinking glasses. I have always loved and used Scotch Brite for all of my cleaning needs because the product is so durable and reliable

    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I received this product from 3M to test and review. Since it's the heavy duty version, I decided to really put it to the test and refinish one of my cast iron pans with it. I was very impressed with how well the Scotch-Brite side held up. It took all three pads in the pack and quite a bit of elbow grease, but it got the job done to my liking!

    Heavy Duty Scrubber Sponges Do It All

    5 out of 5 stars
    Teri - 10 months ago
    originally posted on scotch-brite.com
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These heavy duty scrubbers with sponge opposite sides are very helpful and usefull. Soft dog food comes right off of the bowls with a little scrub-n-tug technique. Soap build up on the shower floor melts away with the same action. They are also handy removing charred foods on my cooking pots and pans.
