I've found that the quality of the foam in the Scotch-Brite Stay Clean Scrubbers has gone down in the last few years. The foam used to hold it's shape well for months, but now seems to flatten with-in a month or two (way before the purple casing wears...

I agree. The foam does not last long and becomes flat in a few weeks. Should cost much less with inferior foam base.

Yes it is. And it will showsome dirt over time; however, that is almos talways immediately overcome by a quick wipe with the Dr. Bonner's foam, itself. And about once a month I take 10 seconds with a touch of baking soda to refresh all three of mine. So, no problem here.

Honestly I haven't had mine very long. I haven't had any issues so far, just cleaning throughly with dish soap and water. I read of a few comments that Bar Keepers Friend is the best product to retain the shine and intend to use it when the time comes. Sorry I couldn't be more help. I will say I really like my Anolon so far, my problems in the past with other cookware has been the bottoms of the skillets warped and I use a glass top stove so I always had to keep a hand on the handle while stirring. So far so good with Anolon, but time will tell.

I've had mine since December 2009. Every few weeks I pop it down, run it through the tumble washer with bleach only, and pop it back up. I love it.

I'm not sure how recently this may have happened; haven't heard anything about their formula changing. I purchased my bottle about 1-2mths ago & it works great for our cloth diapers. Also is a miracle-cleaner when it comes to removing spit-up smell/stains from sofas, car seats, etc!

yes - in fact i'm thinking of buying some new ones - I have used them for about 3 yrs and they're getting kind of dirty inside and i'm sure if i wash them - all the labeling will come off. Figure for the price, they've lasted a long time.

They last a long time. If your hands are clean when you use them they stay clean for many months. They are better than than foam ones and keep out much moise

More or less Ive been using the same sponge for the last half year with no problems. The 2nd sponge I use on my heavy days to switch out. Not sure of the end life, i guess until it's not as absorbant. My sponges still look new to me.

Mine's been very sturdy since purchase. The foam itself has started to separate, which is easily fixed with some glue. The pieces themselves are super sturdy, and I feel confident with using it for a long time.

I have been monitoring mine since i bought it.It has not gotten slimy or shown anything that I can feel as dirty between fillings of the container.I only fill it half full for now.I have cleaned it once in that time.

that is normal, even with the other ones. the greener pads dont clean like the regular scotch-brite pads. I left feedback

I have not had this problem . I suggest you boil some water and baking soda in the pan on top of the stove, let it sit overnight then wash it as usual, I always line my pans with aluminum foil to prevent this from happening to any of my baking pans. I truly dislike scrubbing pan and this saves me from that dreaded chore Good Luck

It's a great product. I've had mine three years. It is not porous so stains are not an issue. I've been cleaning mine with soft scrub and it looks new.

I know I have used others in the past and they tend to bogg down after a short while and suck the battery life. I used my rotary face scrubber for nearly a year every other day before I notice a slight change in the battery output and the performace of the scrubber. I changed the battery and I will be good for many more months.

I've had one of these for I would say 25 years or so. I had it in the tube it came in & somehow it ended up in the cellar. I found it a couple years ago and it was stiff as a board in the tube. I was ready to throw it out, but soaked it in water & then threw it in washing machine. It came out like new, with only some darker spots & I'm still using it to this day. I store it in a small Tupperware container filled with water. I'm wondering if these new ones are made to last as long as the original ones. If so, I'm going to get a new one as this one has some stains from rubber parts or oil.

Bought the black one from folica.com about 12 years ago. It lasted for 11 years. Last year, I bought the purple one from Amazon and I do believe there is a difference. I don't know if it's the manufacturer going cheap over the years or if the purple one is actually cheaper. For the most part, the purple one feels substantially lighter. I think the black one was more solid and the purple feels like plastic pieces attached to the base. I also don't think that the purple one gets as hot or straightens as well as the black one. Two small pieces (black buttons on the side) have also fell off of the purple one after very limited use. Very disappointed in my new flat iron.

Mine lasted about as long as a typical Scotch Bright sponge. Didn't really seem worth the price difference.
