Meet the “good cop” and “bad cop” of washing-up time. It hardens in cold water, making it tough enough to scrub away grime from pans and other caked-on surfaces. Run it under warm water, and it’ll be gentle enough for porcelain and glass — and it won’t scratch them, either. All it takes is a few seconds under the sink.
“The cleaning influencers are right; these sponges are fantastic,” reported a happy reviewer. “Not only are they cute, but they are so effective. If you use cold water, the abrasive side stays stiff, which is perfect for washing things that are really stuck onto pots/pans. However, they are not so rough that I am worried about scraping the finish on whatever I am cleaning. It’s the perfect Goldilocks in-between. If you use hot water, the sponge becomes more malleable and you can better get into the nooks and crannies.”
