These CELOX kitchen sponges are positioned as a cheap Scotch Brite style option for everyday dishwashing, with bulk alternatives and store brands often coming in lower. The main appeal is the low upfront price for a 12 pack, but the comments point to thin construction, faster wear, and some reports of molding or mildew smell after only a few uses. They are also not scratch free. Cellulose sponges, O Cedar Scrunge, Scrub Mommy, or Costco bulk packs come up as sturdier alternatives, making this a budget pick if you can live with shorter life.

Common Questions (5)

  • Amazon Basics sponges are listed at $5.83 with S&S, and 24-pack Aidea sponges are $10 on Amazon. Other alternatives mentioned are Scotch-Brite heavy duty green sponges, O-Cedar Scrunge, and Scrub Mommy for longer wear.

  • Costco is mentioned as carrying the same style in bulk with better quality, and these are described as Scotch-Brite dupes that also go on sale there. If you want the lowest per-sponge price, cheaper Amazon and AliExpress alternatives were also cited.

  • They can fall apart within a week, and some households report mold after one or two uses if they stay damp. Rinsing, wringing them out every time, and letting them dry can help them last longer.

  • Yes. They can mold after one or two uses in some households, and the mildew smell can linger on hands even after washing. Keeping them rinsed, wrung out, and fully dry reduces that risk.

  • No. They are not scratch-free, so they can scratch delicate cookware or surfaces. They are better suited to tougher dishwashing jobs than nonstick or easily marked finishes.

The Scotch Brite blue scrub sponge used to be my go to but their quality went down. The blue sponge is now thinner and less absorbent, and the adhesive holding the scrub side starts to fall apart after only a few uses.
I switched over to the O-Cedar Scrunge and so far am very happy with it. It's more expensive, but worth it to me.
100% agree. What to buy these days that are as good as the old school original 3M Scotch Brites?

"Not easy to produce bacteria" my ass. These things seem to mold after like one or two uses in my household, despite religiously ringing them out after every use. And when they do mold, the mildew stench lingers on your hands after multiple hand-washes.
I always wash them along with drain plugs and drain filters each time I do a load of dishes in the dishwasher. I've never had them smell. I do squeeze all the water out too.

Is there a sponge for sale that doesn't suck these days? The blue Scotch brand ones have been completely decimated by shrinkflation and are a shell of what they used to be. If there is a brand out there still making good sponges, I'd be willing to make the jump.

Try the O-Cedar Scrunge. I have seen positive things said about the Scrub Mommy as well, but haven't tried it.

Rinse, wring out every time, and leave in a way they can dry out. Just once letting them sit dirty will wreck them. They last really long if you're careful

Scrub Mommy is fine at first, but honestly after awhile the cute face becomes annoying as it starts ripping around the eyes and mouth parts of the sponge. I'll stick to rectangles as they last longer over heavy use.

As another alternative you can get a 12-pack of Scotch Brite Heavy Duty (green ones) for $8.39 after 25% coupon.

These are my usual go to work horse sponges

You can get 50 of these on AliExpress for $3.
No you can't. The ones on Ali suck. I've tried a few and nothing compares to Scotch unfortunately

I used the Walmart brand to clean my 20" wheels on my RAM, and Goo Gone graffiti remover. They looked like new! Sold the wheels and almost bald BFG ATs for $500, bought some different wheels and decent tires for $300.
