Scotch-Brite Zero Scratch Non-Scratch Scrub Sponges, For Washing Dishes and Cleaning Kitchen, 9 Scrub Sponges, Blue

Only sponge I use
This has always been my favorite sponge. It fits my small hands well with the cut out curves. The textured side to scrub with is a must. It’s a sturdy sponge, without being to stiff. I wanted pink, but for the lower price, the packet of blue was a good price.

An absolute necessity in my house!
I was raised using “dish rags” (yeah, I’m old!), like wash cloths, but only for washing dishes, not bodies. While I was visiting some friends a few years ago I wanted to help out & volunteered to wash dishes. They used this kind of sponge, Scotch Brite non-scratch scrub sponges. I was hesitant at first thinking it was going stink or get moldy in no time. But to my surprise there was no smell at all when taking it out of the package. I got it wet & put one pump of dish soap in the center of the sponge side & squished it a bit to get the whole sponge soapy. The slight S shape of the sponge is key; making it very comfortable to hold no matter what you’re cleaning. The reverse side has a gentle scrubber which can be used on non-stick cookware without scratching it at all. Washing dishes this way, without a sink full of soapy water, saves gallons of water & lots of time. Since then I’ve exclusively been using this particular brand & shape of sponge. The BLUE ones! I keep one in the kitchen for dishes, countertops & the inside & outside of the refrigerator, & one in the bathroom for the sink & tub. As long as I rinse them out well & set them to dry in a shallow soap dish on the kitchen & bathroom counters, they dry quickly & don’t have any smell. I buy the big package of 9 sponges for $6.74 which comes out to only 75 cents each. I’d say each kitchen sponge lasts a good 2 to 3 weeks. When I have enough dishes to use the dishwasher, the sponge goes on the top rack for thorough cleaning & disinfecting with the extremely hot water & its good as new. Don’t put it in the microwave to clean; you’ll ruin it. I have to say I’m utterly shocked as the photos sent with some other (bad) reviews. I’ve never had a sponge break off from the scrubbing side, never had them so filthy as in the pictures, never had them crumble apart, or any of the other nasty stuff shown in those photos. My guess is that they were used improperly (for heavy duty work like floor scrubbing or cleaning ovens…these are not designed for that type of use), for too long & never cleaned. I also saw complaints that the new sponges were “wet” when the package was opened. All good quality sponges are supposed to be just the slightest bit damp when new, or else by the time you get them they’d be dry & brittle, misshapen & cracked…the dampness is not a fault or anything to complain about. I HIGHLY & sincerely recommend these wonderful, very affordable sponges! My guests are so impressed with them I’m always giving out one for them to take home to try! I’ll never go back to old dish rags.

Nonabrasive Sponges
These sponges are quite handy for many jobs. They are tough and don’t fall apart after a few uses. So far, I’ve found the scour side to be nonabrasive. However, I do have to add more elbow grease when scrubbing.

Go to sponge
These are my go to sponges for washing dishes. It has the soft side that works well (with soap) on removing oil from plastics. It has the scrubby side for anything that’s built up. I don’t know if it doesn’t actually scratch, but it’s nice to have for those delicate items. I always let it dry out (rotate sponges) so it doesn’t develop a weird smell from being continually wet.

Muy buena calidad a un precio accesible.

Estas si duran y no como algunas que venden en los supermercados que se empiezan a desbaratar en el momento que abres el empaque.
