Multi Purpose Scrub Sponges Kitchen Scrub Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "They are very durable and after many trips through the washing machine they still look great."
• "It has been 3.5 years since I had to order a new pack of these sponges!"
• "Very durable. Still using first sponge after 3 weeks with little sign of wear."
• "They last so long that they’re still in good shape when I throw away for a new one."
• "I've been using this scrubber since May and I'm still on the first one."
• "I bought these sponges in 2021 and they've lasted until 2024."
• "After 6 months this sponge is still going strong!"

Cons:

• "After a month of washing them, reusing them the material would wear out and tear a hole into."
• "However; after about 3 days it did begin to smell, unfortunately as it works really well."
• "Had these for about 3 months and the scrub side is completely destroyed and ripped."
• "The problem is they do not last very long. The fabric material shreds quickly and they start to breakdown after a short time rendering them unusable."
• "The sponges work great while they last which isn’t long. After only a month or two, they began falling apart and growing mildew."
• "After only a couple weeks of usage, the rough side is already starting to fall apart."
• "I only used one for like a week is already falling apart."

Odor Resistance

Pros:

• "I am still using the first of the packet. That is a bit of a testament as it has been weeks of use, and I can report that there is no horrible stink embedded in this sponge/scrubber."
• "So far no odors!"
• "They don’t smell and last forever."
• "They don't absorb odors at all."
• "They also don't seem to pick up food smells either."
• "They don't seem to get stinky like other sponges do."
• "What's noteworthy is that they maintain a fresh scent, unlike other sponges that tend to develop unpleasant odors over time."

Cons:

• "However; after about 3 days it did begin to smell, unfortunately as it works really well."
• "But after a week or so they developed an awful smell."
• "Don't know why but all my sponges have an unpleasant odor after just a few days of use."
• "Mine got stinky faster than my similar dollar store sponges, probably due to the dense foam."
• "I don't think these are cleanable I've soaked them several times in vinegar and they still smell."
• "I have only had these since the beginning of the month and have already tossed 2!"
• "The smallest thing gets caught in the scrubby side and the food particles are very difficult to rinse out."

Design & Comfort

Pros:

• "I also like the hourglass shape."
• "The option of soft or scrubber side is a plus."
• "They fit perfectly in smaller hands, perfect amount of fill, and wash up beautifully."
• "The size & shape make these easy to hold & get into every nook & cranny."
• "They fit your hand well and have a scrub side and a soft side."
• "Perfect size, fits snugly in your hand."
• "They are a good size and shape to grip for scrubbing or wiping down counters."

Cons:

• "Did not like the size of the pads. These are smaller than the ones I buy in the store."
• "However, the kidney shape is a bit too small in the center."
• "The sponge can barely fit in my hand to clean."
• "Fitting into narrow grooves/gaps (like seal gaps in Rubbermaid storage container lids) with these is more difficult than a common kitchen sponge, but do-able."
• "Because the sponges are thicker/sturdier, we find it difficult to wring out all the water so they dry at the same pace of our store-bought sponges."
• "Bought this product as it seemed to have a rough and a smooth side for washing pans and dishes respectively. Turned out the rough side is also pretty soft."
• "Same great sponge but smaller than the others I have bought in the past."

Eco-Friendliness & Value

Pros:

• "Best of all they are eco-friendly."
• "They're a bit pricier than the green/yellow traditional sponge."
• "They last a really long time, infinitely longer than typical cellulose scrubbing sponges."
• "Also, you can wash and reuse - that's so much better for the environment."
• "They are actually very cheap, since they do seem to last forever so you won't need new ones for a long time."
• "This durability not only saves me money in the long run but also reduces waste, making them an eco-friendly choice."
• "They last quite a while before needing to be replaced if rinsed with hot water and rung out after your done using it!"

Cons:

• "They're a bit pricier than the green/yellow traditional sponge."
• "Not worth the price."
• "I had high hopes for these but I would not recommend."
• "The scrubber does not hold up to air fryer baskets or broiler pans even though I use Dawn liquid!"
• "I will never buy again and they will be returned."
• "The sponges work great while they last which isn’t long. After only a month or two, they began falling apart and growing mildew."
• "It was supposed to be 6 and the package plainly says 6 but there were only 3."
