"When I first took these out of the package, I immediately wanted to return them. They were smaller and thinner than the Scotch Brite that I was used to. They come compressed and damp in the package. I thought they wouldn't last more than a few days. I thought the scrubbing side would end up shedding and turning white like the cheap ones from Aldi. I decided to use one and two weeks later, it's still in decent shape. I changed my mind about returning and am actually liking these sponges."

"I only use these to wash dishes and, occasionally, a special cleaning project. Younger Me would have thought having this many sponges at the same time was ridiculous. Grown-up Me knows sponges begin to stink quickly and that odor is caused by bacteria. Eew. With this multi pack of sponges I always have a fresh one (I replace about once a week) so I am not rubbing bacteria back onto my dishes when cleaning off food."

" Update on 9/8: after using these sponges for a few days I will say that I am sold on them, especially the white/tan color. First, I like the white as it does not hide food particles and next, the non scratch side though thin, works very well for our needs. I wouldn’t recommend for heavy duty scrubbing but would highly recommend for light duty chores. I also thought that being smaller in overall size it wouldn’t be as good but was wrong, they’re easier to hold, fit better on my sink area and don’t look out of place as the blue ones do.

I have been searching for a very good kitchen sponge that doesn’t cost a fortune so thought I’d try this one. I previously bought the Amazon sponges (see video) that are fine but don’t last. I was surprised to see that these are smaller and the non-scratch side is really thin. But we just use these to quickly clean off plates before the dishwasher so I’ll send an update after a week or so."
