What are the sponges made of?

I'm not really sure but it seems as though it's made of a very fine foam. It's like a moose hair product. It has been made with very fine air pockets. Is very soft and a very fine product that has been "condensed" into a sponge. It may have latex. Which may give its flexible "sponge" quality. If you're allergic to latex I would use with caution.

Not sure but its feels similar to memory foam except it expands when wet. Its like a fine sponge

Im really not sure, they are spongy and feels really good to the skin.unfotunately they arrived in a zip lock sandwich bag, so you dont get any info of the product detail. But they work well...hopefully this helps.

They are filled with cushiony sponge. The cover is a type of thin nylon of some sort. Not your highest quality, as ours has begun a tear near one seam. But they suffice for what we are currently using them for.

They are simple soft sponges that will need replacing occasionally because of their make-up. There are no extra scratch pads or anything like that attached to these, as some of the scrubbers ones are. I bought lots of them because just plain sponges are hard to find.

I'm not positive but think they are made of plastic. I'm sure they are not Styrofoam.

I can't remember for sure as I bought them for a gift. But I don't think they will as there not like sponges.

I believe I got the large ones, but they can be cut down to size easily enough. Just follow the shape of the sponge.

It's not. Mine lasted about 6 months. I could probably still use it, but it's lost its firmness and density. Still, that's longer than a traditional sponge and it does a much better job.

These are the same grow sponges sold on AeroGarden's site, without the liquid nutrients. Their site says "AeroGarden Grow Sponges are made from pure Canadian Sphagnum Peat ..." I ordered these from Amazon because I have a large unopened bottle of the liquid nutrients.Some people have complained that the sponges fall through the seed starting platform. I simply soak them a bit and they fit fine.http://www.aerogarden.com/accessories/garden-starting/garden-starter-tray-refill-pack.html#moreinfo

I looked all over the package and couldn't find anything stating what the sponges were treated with. May have to try manufacturer.

It is plastic. This sponge, contrary to its description, is nothing special. It does not "clean up big messes with little effort." It is that sort of sponge material (think 3M, etc) that is NOT absorbent. In my experience the only absorbent sponge is a cellular type, traditional sponge. Yes, it won't scratch, but it also won't clean or scrub efficiently; you will always have to switch to something else. To answer your specific question, if your cooktop is glass, use a straight-edged metal shaving blade to scrape up burned on stuff; if it's a glass cooktop it won't scratch. Then clean using a product like Cerama Brite and elbow grease.

IMO...these sponges are nothing but a marketing scheme...there is nothing in them and they are just low-density foam that falls apart in your hand.

Mine came with a little sponge in it, yes. I presume you can cut off a small part of a bigger sponge and use that f you don't feel like returning the item.

From what my sister described it was like a spongey type. I bought it for my dinosaur obsessed nephew. And he had a ball in the bath with it

I don't know why some sponges are damp inside the package. It has never been a problem, i.e., no musty smell. So I would not worry about it.

I have used some of these sponges for over 6 months. The smaller ones tend to fall apart much sooner. I have learned that they can be cleaned using a hydrogen peroxide solution, but most don't need this.

you get 2 sponges for the price. the sponge itself is not plastic; one side is cellulose (smooth side) and the other is walnut fiber (rough side).

They are about the same thickness as any standard sponge. They worked for me while I was in school!!! I'd say 1/4 inch thick
