AIDEA-Brite Non-Scratch Scrub Sponge, Cleans Fast Without Scratching, Stands Up to Stuck-on Grime, Cleaning Power for Everyday Jobs, 24 Scrub Sponges

These are a little smaller and thinner than what we bought at Costco, but they work fine for washing and scrubbing pans, and wiping the counter, without falling apart. I'd buy them again.

Pictures are from after 1 week and 3 weeks of use. Even at the 3-week mark, the sponge was still usable. For a sponge that costs less than $0.40 each, I think 3 weeks is a reasonable lifespan before replacing it. These sponges are thinner than the more expensive national brands. However, that thinner design may actually help them dry faster. My first sponge still hasn't developed any unpleasant odor. Simply squeezing out the excess water and letting it dry in a dish rack seems to be enough to keep mold and bacteria growth to a minimum. As for scratch resistance, I didn't test it on any particularly delicate surfaces, so I can't say how it performs on materials that scratch easily. On the surfaces I cleaned, I didn't notice any scratching. They worked well cleaning stainless cookware. After cleaning with dish soap and this sponge, I followed up using this sponge with a non-scratch cleanser. Probably not necessary but you I like the stainless to shine.

These are good in their own way. If you expect everything like 3M or other name brands, they are close, but not exactly. If you're used to 3M, these Aidea are smaller and slightly thinner. If you want to stick it into smaller openings, these are great. For dishes and other things, these are good, but I can see the bigger size of 3M slightly better. This Aidea is also softer out of the box. It's much easier to wash smaller glasses with it than 3M. Though 3M will soften over time. For the price. This is very good.

These sponges are decent enough. Not as good in quality as Scotch-Brite or other brand names, but for our office environment of about 20 people, and only having coffee mugs, some silverware and some plastic lunch containers to wash occasionally, I think these are fine. Use a few times and then toss it, grab another. They are not nearly as thick as the name brands (the promo video in the description shows thinker sponges than what I received. For home I will stick with Scotch-Brite or Dawn dish sponges. Those last a month or more at home. I wouldn't see one of these lasting more than a week before falling apart. But a 24 pack for around $10? It's not a bad deal at all for use around the office.

Good product.
