What customers say
Customers overwhelmingly praise the 3M Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Sponge for its superior durability and cleaning power, establishing it as a kitchen essential. The dual-action design excels, with the green scouring pad effortlessly removing tough, baked-on grease from pots and racks. Users value that this sponge maintains its scrubbing strength significantly longer than generic options, offering excellent long-term value.

Know before you buy
No, these sponges are not recommended for nonstick surfaces. The heavy-duty scouring side is abrasive and can scratch or damage delicate nonstick coatings.
These sponges are not dishwasher safe. To keep them clean, rinse them thoroughly with water after each use and squeeze out excess moisture to allow them to air dry.
While they are designed to handle tough messes, these sponges are intended for single-cycle use rather than long-term reuse. You should replace them once they become worn or soiled.
They are ideal for general-purpose cleaning on durable surfaces like stainless steel pots, pans, oven grates, and concrete floors. Avoid using them on finished surfaces, glass, or any material that scratches easily.
The sponge features a dual-sided design: a cellulose side for wiping and absorbing liquids, and a heavy-duty scouring side for scrubbing away stubborn, stuck-on grime.
