Happy colors
I’ve used Dobbie sponges for years. Imagine my surprise when I saw the updated sponges in new happy colors! The size is perfect and they are more flexible than the original light yellow one.

Big drop and quality
Big drop in quality… I've used this product for over 40 years… Very disappointed. New "improved" product is wearing out after one week of use… see photo below

Where oh where did the old Dobie Pad go?
I'm 60+yo and have NO memory of not having a Dobie Pad in a sink as a child or adult. In fact it became a "thing" of my mom's to gift all the kids Dobie Pads every Christmas. (a tradition that I continue!) I haven't had to buy or use a new Dobie Pad for a long time - I've been using up a large quantity that I "inherited" after my mother passed. Recently my stock had d...

New Version Is Terrible
I have used these sponges for 30 years. They have always been my go to, but the newest ones I purchased were a serious drop in quality. They don’t clean as well, and they fall apart immediately. I’ll watch for the quality to change back, but since that so rarely happens, I’m done buying them. Very disappointed.

Product has deteriorated greatly
My mother used these in the 1970s and I have used them ever since. But the ones I have bought the past 6 months or so (the "new color sme product" are definitely of lesser quality. The covering is not as tightly woven and gives out quickly. They also stain immediately and do not wash out in the dishwasher. I used to get about a month out of each pad and would throw ...

I have used DOBIE for years and years and have always loved it. They never wear out, and if they start to wear out and fall apart, we still use them Loved the pale yellow as it was not too overpowering so that it would be noticed by anyone in the same room.

I’m breaking up with you and I didn’t deserve this
I’ve noticed a slow decline in product quality over the past 5-7 years. Yep, YEARS as in I have trusted and depended on these for decades! Not anymore. It was bad, but not enough to stop purchasing, when the white mesh started to degrade. It was even worse when the white mesh continued to degrade more rapidly but I still bought them. The last two times I bought them the...

Used to be great. Now sub par.
I have used Dobies for 20 years. A few months back the color changed to a bright yellow. But what else happened is that the quality suffered a serious decline. The outer covering now tears easily. A new one is torn from normal washing in a week. They used to last months! I suspect they changed suppliers or manufacturing process. Too bad.

Terrible color
Same product, but the color change from neutral to bright yellow is terrible. Makes it look cheaper. Sad they changed it after having an amazing performing and looking product for decades.

New and improved is new but NOT improved
I have been using Dobie pads for decades. Yes, they ripped sooner than in the past but the sponge part inside was much better than the 'new and improved' ones I just got-they are bright fluorescent yellow, yuck, and the sponge inside is thinner and less effective, meaning it does not hold the dish soap for longer than a 2-3 dishes or bowls. Very disappointed. Bring b...

More changes for the worse :(
I have been using these for YEARS. Just went to replenish my supply and so disappointed to see the packaging changed and the color! The mesh is now a very loud yellow. The white was so much more peaceful looking. Why do companies insist on messing with stuff that AIN’T BROKE?!?! Are they bored? Is someone trying to keep their job relevant? I will never understand it.

Product changed, quality declined!
ith the colored versions. I’ve purchased many colored boxes over the last few years as accent sponges, but unlike the yellow versions, the colored ones all deteriorated and tore quickly, and the seams would come apart. See my photo for a current week-old green one versus a many month old original yellow. But now I see the yellow have changed too— and NOT for the better....

Why did you change a great product?
I've been washing my dishes with Dobie for maybe half a century. My late mother also used them. The inner sponge was a pale yellow, and the outer covering seemed to be uncolored. Suddenly the company has decided to dye the whole thing a more intense yellow color that makes me think toxic dye may leach onto my dishes and contaminate them. Unless/until they go back to the...

For years Dobies were my go-to, then their quality/durability declined. I almost abandoned the brand. TY for bringing back a quality product!

Great product!
Much improved quality. Easily lasts a couple weeks vs a couple days with the regular sponges. Don't scratch our cookware.

Flatter sponge not good.
I have been using your Dobie dish washing sponge for many years. In the last box I bought, however, the sponges were flatter. It feels like I am washing dishes with a dish rag. Is this some "shrinkflation" thing? Sadly, unless this is an isolated manufacturing error, I will no longer be buying your product.

Excellent product and going to order again soon!
I purchased this a while ago and just used it to clean the wood railing to our basement and the washing machine front loader rubber door seal and the bathroom tub. I am so pleased that it did NOT tear at all, so it was a joy to use it to clean with. Also liked how it rinses clean.

WHAT HAPPENED to ScotchBrite products?!?!
I trusted & relied on Dobie sponges for over 10 years after trying them, but their quality/durability has decreased SIGNIFICANTLY the past few years. I thought it was just me, but after reading recent reviews, I'm not crazy after all. Just as others have described, the mesh is NOT what it used to be - a small hole starts and then consider the sponge a complete loss! ...
