Sponge is no good
I have used the heavy-duty sponge/scrubber for years but the last two times I’ve purchased the product I was very dissatisfied. I thought I probably got a bad batch the first time because the sponge actually started falling apart after the first use. Second time months later, same thing. I’m convinced the product has been “dumbed down” (for lack of a better word) to mai...

Sad to see changes
We have used this product for years. Recently, the yellow color has turned green after a few uses. Is there an explanation?

Moron design
Go back to the RECTANGULAR sponges. These sponges are NOT useful when cleaning a countertop. Must press EXTRA EXTRA HARD to get the particles. The SQUARE edge of the previous RECTANGULAR sponges worked just fine. Did you ever work with a Usability Lab to determine if this was what CUSTOMERS WANTED? What were you morons thinking? Until I see them as RECTANGULAR again, I ...

All good things (I guess...) must come to an end
It's sad to see a really great product get ruined (or shrinkflated). Both the sponge side and the rough side now only last about a quarter of the time it used to, and old sponges that I wisely (really accidentally) saved prove that. I've switched back to using those old, saved one along with some cleansing powder to get good performance for whatever life is left in th...

Strong chemical smell, damp sponges
We use these regularly to clean our dishes, however the last package we purchased, when opened the sponges are damp and there is a strong chemical smell coming from the sponge.
The package did not appear to be opened and we have never experienced this before.

Best sponges out there
These sponges are my go to over any other sponges. They last longer, and they don't stink. I just wish that they were in more stores and were easy to find.

Soap in Sponge Smells After A While
I love Scotch sponges but noticed lately they have soap in them. After using them for a while, they begin to smell and the smell bothers me so I have to toss them in the trash before they even get fully used.

Poor Quality, Microplastics: Avoid Buying
Aside from needlessly changing the shape, the quality has suddenly deteriorated unacceptably. All the versions start falling apart within 10 days. I assume the idea is to 'drive' the consumer to buying more often. What it does though is drive me to checking out other alternatives as I consider the harm to the environment of the microplastics going down the sink. Cel...

Sponge thickness changes
The thickness of the sponges have become thinner and in affect less productive in use and also, they no longer last as long as they did before the sponge was made thinner.

Once the best, now like the rest.
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.

Faulty product
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 😡😡😡😡

Not Good 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...
