Dobie Non-Scratch All-Purpose Scrub Pads, 24 Pack

I do the dishes in our house, so it is an evening ritual that has been going on for many, many years. For as long as I could recall I used the light blue/dark blue Scotch-Brite pads, occasionally using the yellow/green if the blues were unavailable, both did a good job and served me well for decades. I saw these amazing Dobie's as a suggested product and thought I was just a way for Scotch-Brite to inch out a little more margin with a "premium" sponge, while that may be part of it, they are still quite cheap. As for the job they do it's incredible, not only am I spending less time cleaning dishes, they are without a doubt coming out better. The best part of this is the time saved is the part that I like the least, the scrubbing and repetitive cleaning to remove fused food particles from pans and utensils. It does not scratch anything I've cleaned in the several months I've now been using these. They are a perfect size, they seem a tiny bit smaller than the regular old-school sponges, but it works far better all around. The little hard plastic seams on both ends also work really well for little crevices, I'm not sure if this was by design or as a result of manufacturing but it's a nice little extra tool that's already in your hand. A downfall of these is they definitely don't last as long, once a hole appears in the exoskeleton your poor little sponge is on it's last leg, within a day or two it'll be the end. Maybe I used the old sponges far too long??? I don't know but it is noticeable, but frankly, with how much time they save and how much better they work overall it's not a factor in my decision. I think I saw another reviewer do this so I can't take the credit, but once a sponge has seen better days for cleaning dishes I decommission them to bathroom cleanup, where there are fewer things to catch the little tears on they will survive for a few bathroom cleanings, which I'd want to throw it out after anyway, who wants a 6 month old sad little, dirty, germ-filled sponge hanging around a bathroom? As good of a job as these Dobies do in the kitchen, they are perhaps even better in a bathroom, they just tear through anything a bathroom can throw at it. Our master bath is quite large with a lot of tiles and these make it a quick job for cleanup. If you're on the fence, give these a try, I mean look at how much I just wrote about a sponge!

Loves these! Only sponges I use. Great for everything from kitchen to bathroom. They scrub good.

Makes it easy to clean up dishes and pots and pans. Doesn't scratch and is gentle on non-stick and nylon or other utensils. If the Dobie pad doesn't clean it you need to use other methods and quite burning things into your pots and pans.

No other sponge pad of its type can come close. This incomparable cleaning tool is my favorite to use for most cleaning needs.

I’ve been using a different scrubbing pad from Costco for a long time and was generally happy with it, but these Dobie pads are noticeably better. They’re easier to maneuver into tight spaces and corners, feel more durable, and are easier to rinse clean after use. Overall, they’ve replaced my old go-to pads and have been a great upgrade.

I had a roommate who used these. I've aways bought and used them since. They last forever and get dishes clean without scratching them. If it starts to smell, I throw it in the wash with my kitchen towels and it's back to clean and smelling good, (I air dry it BTW) so they last a really long time. I usually buy these at the store (Wal-Mart or Target), but the last time I was in either store, they were selling packs of 2 and they were way more expensive than usual. (Everything has gone up in price lately) When I saw these in a large quantity, 3 packs and for such a good price, I bought them immediately. Now we are stocked up for a really long time and I saved some money. Win win for me. I'm old school and like to wash my dishes by hand so these are perfect for me and what I need.

My mother in law introduced me to the Dobie sponge. Prior to that I used 3M sponges. These are by far a much better products. They never get stinky, they perform and clean well with the special outer netting , they last a long time (I buy them by the dozen and the supply lasts me for a good 2 years. They hold soap and water well and they squeeze out equally well. Please Dobie, don't ever stop making these!

I have used this product for years. I like it very much. However, I make sure to not clean a knife surface with it, as it will cut the material covering the pad. Otherwise, it is a great product for getting glasses and dishes clean. And to be able to purchase the item in bulk (eight boxes) makes the cost reasonable.

For some reason, these are impossible to find in the stores - But they're a 'go-to' that I was SO happy to find again. Very much hope that they continue to be stocked! The plastic exterior is gentle enough to use on soft stone (such as marble), but holds up firm enough to clean hard water and muck off the tub etc. I find them to be indispensable and their durability is impressive - they can last for a sufficient amount of time to justify the cost. I don't think my cleaning efforts went as far with standard sponges and cleaning tools. I highly recommend these.

Love this product but can no longer get in Aus. Clean my dishes with ease.

Ya había probado este producto hace tiempo ya que la otra fibra q usaba resulta q es dañina Y está no tiene ningún problema la recomiendo

I'm glad this product is available from Amazon, been using it for years.

I have been using Dobie Pads since the late 1960's. I now live in British Columbia and haven't found them here in stores. Every time I go the the USA I stock up and bring them home. When I thought to look on amazon.com when I was running low, there they are. This is my second order. The Dobie Pads last a long time and use them every day to hand wash my dishes. The quality is still great after 60 years and a few company buy outs. Thank you
