if I could give these sponges a million stars I would. I love them so much I couldn't even bring my self to use them I drew faces on them, they are now my friends and I have a little over 40 sponges! I am soon ordering more. I LOVE THESE SPONGES! they are a gift from god
Read More...I've spent a lot of time in art, plaster, and ceramic studios and am familiar with large soft rectangular studio sponges. I bought these to have the same sponges at home to clean countertops, cabinet surfaces, spills, etc. I wanted to cut down on paper towel usage and in general, I enjoy using large-surfaced sponges in art studios. I am disappointed because these sponges are not very absorbent. I feel like I'm pushing the water around on my countertop and then cannot cleanly mop up the water with the dry sponge...it just continues to push the water around
Read More...EDIT 2021: I have reordered a pack of 6 QEP sponges. The new ones are Made in Thailand, stiff and feature a rough surface. They are obviously not safe for washing cars any more. These QEP sponges are made in Germany and packaged in USA. It may sound crazy but these sponges are not the same as your typical sponge. They pass the CD test. They rinse clean easily and will not scratch clear coat paint. Do a search and you will see the best detailers use them for washing cars with Grit Guard 2 bucket method. Chemical Guys IAI503 Grit Guard Insert, Black Compared with Lowes Grout Sponge, the QEP are slightly denser. It all depends on personal preference on which one you use. Both work equally well. I have seen people using the same sponge for hundreds of car washes. They are the most economical safe car wash tool
Read More...I wouldn't normally review something as mundane as a sponge, but I felt I needed to take a moment to share my thoughts. In a nutshell, these are just about perfect sponges. The size is just right to fit my hand comfortably, the thickness allows for enough pressure to really tackle heavier cleaning tasks, and they rinse out nicely when I'm done. Really no complaints at all. Yes, I know they're intended to be used to clean grout, and from what I know of that particular activity, these should work very well. I CAN say that they work great for cleaning the stove, wiping up the counters (tile as well as granite), cleaning the sink and bathtub, and washing the car. Definitely a keeper. Will purchase again when/if needed. Solid 5 stars
Read More...These sponges have made cleaning my shower stall/tubs a dream! I hardly have to scrub. It's big so easy to hold, very absorbent. I love them. Washing our truck & SUV is easier, also; covers alot of space with one swipe. They are a great size for washing our horses or even sponging them off after riding or when they are just hot from being outside. There are a lot in the bag & they hold up so well I won't have to buy any more for a very long time
Read More...For starters, I've dropped 2 stars because what I ordered did not match the picture. I also ordered from Amazon.com Services LLC. As you can see from my pictures, these are just sealed in a clear plastic wrapping with no labels aside from the Inventory sticker required from Amazon. The sponges look like and work just like the same ones I've purchased in the past at the big orange local store. These hold water when needed and are also fairly absorbent. I have used these now doing drywall repair work for smoothing, and they hold up great and clean out easily. I'm happy with my purchase but was just a little shocked not seeing the retail packaging that I =have been used to
Read More...These are pretty good sponges for the price. They should be pretty good for car washing or something where you want a firm sponge that is a little tough but still soft. These can hold some water but will not quickly dry an area which is more what I wanted. I will use them and probably buy more but not for quick drying and absorbing which is what I am looking for now
Read More...Bought these to do some drywall repairs. Filled in my damaged areas with drywall mud, let it dry, and then wet sanded with one of these. Worked like a charm. I had this in a bucket of water and it will hold a large amount, and is easy to wring out when needed. Sponges are kind of big, but if you need to you can cut them with a knife or box cutter. Got the 6 pack since I am always needing one of these for one thing or the other
Read More...Been buying this exact one for 3 years, in 2021 it has completely changed. Terrible... Half the size, half the durability.
Read More...These sponges are awful. No absorbency whatsoever. I am an art teacher and need sponges constantly and these are the worst! Leave my tables soaking wet and will not soak up excess water at all
