Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges

It's Scotch Brite, it has to be good. These are tough pads that get the job done.

Use the sponges daily and are aGreat value!

They came to me in what appeared to be a genuine Scotch Brite package including logo. The sponges all seemed to appear to be genuine Scotch Brite heavy duty scrub sponges that I am used to using. I noticed nothing odd about their scent. They were soft (sponge) on one side (yellow) and rough (scrub) on the other side (green) as expected.The sponges performed as expected with both sides being very durable even with heavy scrubbing. Use caution when using the green, scrub end. They are about as durable a sponge/scrub combo as you will find. The rough side is as rough as they come and very effective on oven pans with burnt-on gunk. I actually use this to clean the burnt enamel on my stove but have to be careful not to scratch through the finish. I use light pressure with soap and water and see very nice results.You do not want to use the rough surface on non-stick/coated pans because it will scratch that surface right off. You also want to be careful on certain counter surfaces like plastic laminate (Formica/Wilsonart/etc.) as over zealous scrubbing with the green side will lead to scratching and removal of the finish. Even scrubbing wood such as butcher block can distort the surface grain making it rougher. Also as mentioned above, you can scratch through enamel if you scrub too hard. Scratches will also appear on stainless steel that has an obvious brushed finish.They should be great for scrubbing shower tiles or tile floors; even natural stone like granite, marble, slate. I would use caution with acrylic surfaces like Corian as the rough side could leave visible scratches since Corian is sanded to a micro finish.Kitchen cabinets of wood, plastic laminate, or low pressure laminate (melamines/thermofoils) could also be scratched with the green side. Metal cabinets such as those perhaps located in a garage or on a deck or outdoor kitchen should hold up better to the scrub side but could still scratch paint or brushed stainless steel finishes.Overall, these are great scrub sponges for what they are. They are likely overkill for many household uses and perhaps better suited to certain industrial applications. Use caution when using them on certain surfaces and you should be OK.

Good

This product is a safe and easy way to keep your dishes and sink clean. The sponges do wear out over time but never too soon in my opinion. The only limitation I see with the sponge is the inability to scrub a pan after cooking breaded chicken or something else oven fried....for me that still requires a steal wool even after soaking. But overall you cannot go wrong with the brandname of Scotchbrite and ordering a pack over a single does save money. Let's face it, it is only a sponge after all, but it's a good one!

Easy cleaning- I’ll keep using them!!!

work very well
