METUUTER 12-Count Kitchen Sponges- Compressed Cellulose Sponges Non-Scratch Natural Dish Sponge for Kitchen Bathroom Cars, Funny Cut-Outs DIY for Kids-Absorb Water Before Use

As you can see from my photos, with the orange sponge on the left which is this product and a standard sponge on the right (yellow), these sponges are nearly twice as thick as a standard sponge. Not only are they thicker, they are very dense and will last eons. I've already used one of them for nearly a month and it is still firm and soaks up as well as it did from day one. They arrive compressed and you don't think they're going to be as big or as dense as they are. These are such good quality sponges for a fraction of the price that I find inferior sponges in the stores. They also appear to refrain from smelling after a week. My usual sponges start to smell after week. I have used this sponge for a month and it is only just starting to smell. Of course, your mileage may vary such as using soap in the sponge and making sure to ring it out as dry as possible every time; which is worth the effort. As for helpful tips to report, 1. I would recommend storing the unused new flat sponges in a tight plastic bag. You don't want them expanding in your cabinet as they will take up a lot more room if they are exposed to moisture. 2. Know that these are quite a bit larger than a standard sponge, also firmer. This does make them slightly more difficult to get into small glasses and other small dishware, but I use a sponge on a wand for that anyway. To be honest, I don't have a lot to critique of these sponges. I have been looking for durable, large and dense sponges for the last 2 years and these are the best I have found.

Was very surprised to see the sponges come compressed with all the air removed! Quite honestly, it makes for much easier storage. The new sponges take up very little draw space. All I have to do is add a little water and the sponge comes to life! Very cool!

Bought these in 2023, and it's now 2026. Still have 3 left. These are probably the best sponges I've ever used. Long lasting, durable, and effective. We do not use a dishwasher, so all our dishes are washed by hand with these sponges. It's easy to say that they are worth every penny. If you need good sponges at a great price....these are them.

As sponges go, this is a very nice one. It's sturdy, scrubs well and appears to be long-lasting. I microwave mine for two minutes before going to bed, then let it cool to room temperature. Add water to the sponge before placing inside and be careful not to burn yourself removing it.

This is awesome! Once put in water expands to an actual sponge. And the rest, so thin, you can store anywhere!

These sponges are great. Better than expected and so far, seem to be pretty durable. I’ll definitely be buying them again.

When I first saw these I thought something was wrong. The sponges are the thickness of a credit card! Add some water and watch out! Perfect size sponges! Best I’ve ever used & obviously space savers!

Nice, durable don’t dry out before being used and easy to store

Small but add water and they grow so handy to store.

I was so disappointed when I opened and saw a tiny packet with 8 sponges in but when I opened and soaked the 1st one they are better than any I've used before. Totally vacuum sealed for postage. Highly recommend.

Eco-friendly: I think it is an eco friendly product, but there’s no sure way to know as it just comes in a plastic bag with Chinese writing.
