Scotch-Brite® 3-Count Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge

Been using this product for over 15 years with no issues. Even a dishwasher cycle or two, these sponges would hold up and never fall apart as they do today. Lately these ScotchBrite sponges last only 2-3 days before they begin to fall apart & separate! (See Pix. The glue is visible and appears to be intentionally water soluble). Obviously 3M changed the glue adhesive to a cheaper one. (Old adhesive was a light yellow, new adhesive is a deep mustard yellow... please see pix). I believe its all an effort to increase sales by their Marketing Team by cheapening the glue thus reducing its usable life by half... and you can completely forget about running them through a dishwasher cycle or two, that caused them to completely come apart. Sad, we loved this product from 3M, now we'll be looking for a better sponge.

I've used these for yrs & buy them in bulk. This last pkg is awful. The sponge is thinner, bleeds blue dye and falls apart within one week. The center of the sponge also constantly feels slimy.

It’s on Tiktok that the sponges got cheaper materials. We all noticed. 600 people already are going to switch.

I have been buying this sponges for years and since the pandemic I noticed the quality continuing going down hill. In this last package I just bought the sponge part started to disintegrate with in 3 days of use with pieces of sponge flaking off, having to catch the pieces before they go down the drain. In addition to the scrub piece is separating from the sponge. Not the 3M Product that I'm used to. Looks like I'll have to switch to another brand.

Next design round: Make this scrub sponge completely from coconut fibers, latex and agave. I'm using a pad like that professionally and it works shockingly awesomely. Made completely from renewable materials. Compostable. Go for it Scotch Brite!

I have been using these sponges for years and am disappointed that they have gone down in quality. They fall apart after only a few weeks of use. They are also thinner.

They suck. The guitar sponge was more efficient.!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Purchased a six pack of these sponges over the weekend. The blue scrubbing layer peeled off after scrubbing one fork. Had to throw the sponge away because there was exposed glue and frankly the sponge looked disastrous. Tried another sponge from the same pack last night and the same thing happened. Top layer started peeling off and by the time I was finished with the small load of dishes, the layer was completely off. Very disappointing, this shouldn't happen. I did take photos and email the company.
