O-Cedar Scrunge 12-Pack

Have been using them for years. I can use one for weeks to months. Cleans up in the dishwasher and doesn’t have any odors like some washcloths.

I’ve tried all the dish sponges and these are the best.Long lasting - rinse clean easily and retain shape.They cost a little more than most, but in the long run they are cost effective.

I think I first saw these recommended on an America's Test Kitchen broadcast several years ago. Both my wife and I find these quite acceptable as kitchen sponges -- easy to hold, sturdy and long-lasting, and reasonably priced. We've purchased several packages over recent years.

I had heard good things about this sponge, but I was honestly a bit skeptical. I mean, it's a dish sponge—how good can it be? Well, so far, after using it several times daily, my first Scrunge has only just started to fall apart, so about five weeks of use out of one.I'm comparing this to my previous go-to, 3M Scotch-Brite pads, which typically start degrading after about a week and a half of use for me, and I toss them out at about the two and a half week point.These are, of course, more expensive than Scotch-Brites, but the Scrunge has other nice features to it.For example, the surface profile's hills and valleys allow the Scrunge to pick up dirt from recesses and uneven surfaces much more quickly than flat-surfaced abrasive pads.The abrasive side is also very quick in general at taking off dirt, but doesn't scratch surfaces nearly as easily as other similar sponges.Finally, your mileage may vary on this point, but the Scrunge is a perfect size and shape for my hand - it's not too big, yet it soaks up a lot of soapy water due to its generous thickness.Suffice to say, I am a convert—I've stocked up on Scrunges and don't plan on looking back anytime soon!

Love these sponges. Gunk doesn’t get stuck in them and they clean great while not being too abrasive

I will be honest I only bought this because I saw it on America's Test Kitchen. However, it does work better than most sponges I've used. To ensure their longevity I would say rinse and ring them out after use, and probably don't bend them all up as I did with my first 1. I use a lot of pretty sharp knives and they seemed to come clean beautifully, but then did cut up the sponge a bit. I also used the scrubby side on my non-stick which seemed so wrong, but I'm happy to report nothing has been scratched or broken. The little grooved definitely do something. I'm no sponge expert, but this sponge did seemed pretty magical my first couple of uses. It even still keeps surprising me. Also out of this whole pack I had only really used 1 sponge. I have just changed it after maybe 2ish months. I typically change my sponges every month due to smell and appearance, but this sponge seems to have a longer life span as long as it's taken care of. Side note probably has nothing to do with the actual sponge, but it can consume soap. You really only need a bit if soap to do dishes I know, but I wanted to be edgy I guess and put a lot of soap in it. It held it all in. I have no idea how or where it stored it. I do know it took me forever to ring it out afterwards. Don't do that, but definitely try this out.

Used to use the scotchbrite blue sponges for years and years. Always got stinky over time. These hold up much better and I'm less concerned that the scrubby side of these will damage the teflon pans (compared to scotchbrite.) These o-cedar work just as well (or better) in my experience.

I order these in bulk bc they are the best sponges. They don’t get smelly like every other sponge I’ve tried. I also throw them in the dishwasher every cpl days to sterilize and they hold up well. I will only use these.
