Natural Scouring Pads 12Pack, Non-Scratch Sisal Scrub Pads, Eco Friendly Scrubbers for Kitchen Cleaning, Dishes and Pots

I mostly hand wash dishes, and so put a lot of use into any scouring pad or scrubber I have. After a solid month of using one of these as my primary dishwashing tool, I'm sold on them. It has proven on average more effective than the scrubber/sponge combination scouring pads I was using previously, able to handle stuck on material just as well and due to the thin form factor better able to be compressed into tight spaces to clean assorted nooks and crannies. It remains just as useful at the end of the month, a bit more crumpled in appearance now but having not actually frayed or shed any material and every bit as effective as at the start of the month.I sincerely expected there to be some tradeoff from the traditional scouring pads I had been using when switching to this, but have found none. There are, in my experience, no downsides to using this product over the more conventional product found in stores. I will be purchasing these for the foreseeable future as my scouring pad of choice.

I really like the fact that these are natural sisal scrubbers that will degrade naturally without depositing more plastic and chemicals into our environment! I’ve been using one scrubber for more than a week, and though it has lost some of its abrasiveness, it is still functioning and hasn’t begun to disintegrate. It satisfactorily cleans plates, bowls, and silverware, and does a decent job on nonstick pans without damage. It is not effective at removing cooked-on grease from non-stick pans, but then, I’ve not yet found anything effective at that chore short of steel wool-which also effectively removes the nonstick coating.My first use of the scrubber was cleaning scrambled egg residue from a stainless steel Revere frying pan. At that time, the scrubber was brand new and abrasive enough to remove the egg. I wouldn’t want to try the same test after the scrubber’s abrasiveness now has been reduced due to a week’s use. Plastic-based scrubbers probably last a bit longer, but then they contribute to the degradation of the environment. I guess it all depends on what is important to you.

I could not believe it when I wiped up vomit from my kitchen mat and floor. Two swipes and I was done with this scrubber.I also cleaned a very dirty cooking pot with the one I use for our dishes, which, by the way, works great to get off stuck on food with the scratchy side because it really doesn't scratch anything. The only thing is, some of the black came off the bottom of the pot onto the scratchy side and won't rinse out. That's ok. I'm mainly using the sponge side for dishes that have soaked as I'm the dishwasher in this home.I used another one for cleaning the bathroom sink and another one for detailing our car. I just threw that one out since it's biodegradable. It got those blotchy spots off. I didn't try it for the windows yet.All in all, I would say, for a scratch sponge, these are much better than the stainless steel ones that fall apart or rust or the green ones that get nasty over time. I believe these will last a lot longer. So, not are you saving money, but your saving what ever you use them on and our environment, too.

It is a nice quantity for the price. I have a preference for eco cleaning items, so these I feel are wonderful. I like the design and natural materials used. They work effectively. I have used them on pots, pans, bowls, strainers, class containers. Just a little bit of everything. Really happy with the results. Plus, no guilt putting them in the trash or compost pile to naturally degrade.

I like to use a mild scrubbing pad for my toilet bowl to keep water rings at bay and that is why I got these. To my surprise this was a scrub pad attached to a sponge. I am going to keep them and use them for my intended purpose but I am knocking two stars off for such a wildly inaccurate description and because the sponge portion means a little more care to keep it clean and dry between uses. I did use one to clean my three toilets and the performance was just fine, so the sponge/scrubber is not a bad product in any way.

After only five days I found chunks of sponge in the sink (see photograph). (Product description said scouring pads but I received combination scouring pads attached to sponges.). The website had almost endless scrolling words and illustrations about how careful both in manufacture and environmental concern the company is, but none of that applied to the product I received. They claim the pads will scrub just about anything off of anything, but at the same time claims they are not abrasive - how is that possible? Also, the environment is obviously not a concern with a product that has to be discarded at five days. Also, because of the crumbling sponge problem, I took a close look at the scouring pad side and discovered there are fibers starting to unravel from the pad. I am also concerned about the food safety of these scouring pads / sponges because so many other features were opposite to the product description.

Prefer using natural products in the kitchen when possible. These clean effectively and are just as good as other ecofriendly scouring pads I have used.

Sometimes when looking for a natural product, the price noticeably jumps up over the readily available synthetic alternative. For these scrubber pads the price seems to be about inline with the various green colored synthetic alternatives I had been purchasing. As for how well they scrub, both my wife and I think they do a good job at getting the dishes clean. For your general purpose kitchen cleaning chores these work well.Give that these are a reasonably priced natural alternative and also do a good scrubbing job, I'd order these again.
