Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges: 24 Individually Wrapped Scouring Sponges
- Heavy-duty scouring side — 3M states 3X more scrubbing power than leading temperature-reactive sponges
- Absorbent sponge side — holds soapy water for wiping down surfaces after scrubbing
- For non-coated cookware and tough jobs — stainless steel pots, cast iron, oven racks, grill grates, concrete, and tools
- Not for non-stick or delicate surfaces — use the blue Zero Scratch sponge for coated pans and glass
- Scrubbing fibers from 100 percent recycled content — as stated by 3M on the package
- 24 sponges, individually wrapped — each sponge stays clean and dry until you open it
How to Use
Open one wrapper, wet the sponge, and add dish soap. Use the green scouring side on burnt-on food, grease, and rust on non-coated cookware, oven racks, or tools, then flip to the yellow sponge side to wipe and rinse. Rinse the sponge well and let it dry between uses; sanitize it in the top rack of the dishwasher or replace it when it starts to smell. Keep the unopened sponges in the box in a dry cupboard.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which surfaces are Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty Scrub Sponges safe on?
They are made for surfaces that can take abrasion: stainless steel and cast iron cookware, baking sheets, oven racks, grill grates, sinks, concrete, garden tools, and outdoor furniture. Do not use them on non-stick or ceramic-coated pans, glass cooktops, plastic, or polished surfaces, which can scratch. For those, choose the blue Scotch-Brite Zero Scratch sponge instead.
How do I use and care for a Scotch-Brite Heavy Duty sponge?
Wet the sponge, add a little dish soap, and scrub with the green scouring side, using the yellow side for wiping and rinsing. Rinse it thoroughly after each use, squeeze it out, and stand it on edge to dry. Run it through the dishwasher top rack to sanitize. Replace it every couple of weeks or when it frays or smells.
Are these sponges safe to keep around children?
The sponges themselves contain no cleaning chemicals, but the scouring side is abrasive, so keep them away from small children who might chew on them, and store the box out of reach. When cleaning, avoid pressing hard on skin. Used sponges can hold bacteria, so rinse them and let them dry fully, or replace them regularly.
What does individually wrapped mean for this 24-count pack?
Each of the 24 sponges comes sealed in its own wrapper, so the rest of the box stays clean and dry while one sponge is in use. That makes the pack practical for stocking a kitchen drawer, a rental unit, a workshop, or a cleaning caddy. The sponges are the standard US Scotch-Brite size.
