    Handy, strong dishwand refills
    [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] These heavy duty refills truly are strong and help easily remove grime from my dishes and pots and pans. They can be removed and disposed of when they get worn out. It is simple to replace the new refill on the handle. I wish that the refills allowed more dish soap to penetrate through them. That being said, I think they are rough enough to handle a lot of my most caked on debris. If you’ve used other scotch heavy duty products you will likely like these.

      Easy to use
      [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I got the replacement heads to go with the wand so if and when the original gets yucky I can replace it. Just pop it off and put the new one on. I didn't have any problem replacing it. And they aren't big so they are easy to store.

        Used to be a Great Pad!
        I love(d) these pads, and have been using these for well over ten years. I really wish they would bring back the old design WITHOUT the hole in the middle. With the hole, the dish detergents constantly runs out. On top of all of that, the scrubbing bad wears out quicker than the previous model. When my supply runs out, I'm going back to using a scrubber hand sponge. Tired of my detergent literally going down the drain!

          New design doesn't work
          The newer pads with the holes in them just make a big mess, since the soap leaks everywhere. Furthermore, the pad separates from the plastic backing after a few days, making the leakage problem even worse. Please bring back the old design!

          Hello, thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear of the trouble. We do not expect the product to be as described. Please connect with our team at 1-800-846-8887 Mo-Fri 8am-4:30pm CT. Thanks again, and we look forward to your call.
            The new design needs to be rethought.
            The sponge dislodges from its holder. The hole in the middle is useless and obviously interferes with the adhesion of the sponge. Go back to the original. This is the 2nd time it has happened —both times with the heavy duty sponge.

              New design leaks and wastes soap
              I’ve loved my Scotch-Brite dish wand for years, but recently bought refill sponges, and they leak! I woke up to find the soap all over my counter. Never happened with the old design. I’m going to have to look for a new dish wand.

              Hello - Thank you for taking the time to leave your review. We are sorry to hear of the trouble. Our new design is intended to provide direct soap flow with our Dishwands. When finished using the dishwands, we recommend that they be stored upright. When using our Advance Soap Control Dishwands, soap should flow directly to your dishes when the button on the wand is pressed. Once finished, the Advanced Soap Control Dishwand can be stored in any position without leaking. We’ve heard our customers feedback and released a new design with an optional hole that can be used with both styles of wands. These are now available on the market. Please reach out to us if you have any further questions or concerns, 1-800-846-8887 M-F 8am-4:30pm CT.
                The hole is a terrible design.
                I have been buying the version without a hole for years and have never had a problem with the product. Nowdays I only see this version with a hole in the sponge, and it is absolutely terrible. Dish soap basically straight out, hardly any gets absorbed by the sponge on the way down, and a ton gets wasted. If you fill the wand full of soap, it will all leak out within one sinkfull of dishes. I have another unopened pack of this design, and it's going straight into the trash.

                  Sponge detaches from plastic head quickly
                  The quality used to be so much better, now these are rip off after a few uses. Wouldn't recommend

                    What have you done!
                    We’ve used the wand, and refills, for years and there are changes that now reflect poorly on your products. The hole in the middle allows the dish soap to just pour out, and the scrubbers seem to be disconnecting from the plastic ‘holder’ that connects it to the wand more quickly. I’m stuffing the hole in the refill with a piece of foam to keep the dish soap from running out. I’d suggest you rethink the changes in design as you will be losing your customers (soon?). Using the wand/refills is becoming an inconvenience and hassle that’s not necessary when cleaning dishes.

                      Dishwand Refill Sponges
                      I absolutely loved theses sponges. It was the only thing I would use. I’m so disappointed that they have a new design with the huge hole in the sponge. I’m using so much dish soap that I’m just wasting it and money. Wish you would go back to the old version it was 100 times better.

                        Poor build quality!
                        We’ve used these for quite awhile. Over the last year or so the quality has gotten worse and worse. The last four packs have fallen apart in just one use. We just ordered more Scrub Daddy dispensers and wand. Will not buy these again.

                          Hate these newly designed Refills Worst new design
                          I dislike these newly designed Refills, they are the worst ScotchBrite has put on the market, the hole in the middle allows the dishsoap to pour straight out no matter how the dishwand is stored, I will not be purchasing these again, they waste too much soap, I wish I did not have give them the one star that I did but the website does not allow you to give them less than one, the scotch brite pad shreds also and only last one week. I have been using these dishwands now for about six years and never had any problems with the old design until the new design

                            I would give it a 0. The new design with hole wastes soooo much soap! I have used these for years but no longer!

                              I don’t understand all of the complaints about the hole?
                              The dish wand that is supposed to be used with these scrubber heads with the holes is the wand (handle) that has a rubber button on it... the soap will only come out if you PUSH that button. The soap should not come through there at all unless you push the button!... even if you store it upside down! If you are using a wand without this button (maybe the older ones didn’t have a button?) then this must be why all of these reviewers are having issues with soap leaking out? No issues here- I think they work great!

                                3M’s response to the “hole in the refill” problem is, “we are working on a fix”. Come on... stop fixing what was not broken to begin with... just go back to the “hole-less” version. Putting a hole in the refill...What were you thinking? Would not surprise me if you fix the problem by selling packages of 3 “hole filler plugs”!

                                  I have been using the Scotch-Brite dishwand for years. Until recently they have worked well and lasted a "reasonable" amount of time. The last 2 scrubber refill (double) packs have been worthless. Within about 3-4 days the scour layer begins to shred. Within a week, the sponge layer has pulled away from the head.... After going through 4 scrubbers in a row, I feel that the quality is no longer there. Obviously, this 3M product will no longer be used in our household....sorry!

                                    Poor quality brush heads
                                    I have been using this product for years, and have recommended it to everyone to revolutionize their dish washing. However, for the last while the quality of the replacement brush heads took a dive and I found the sponge detaching from the plastic backing after very little use. The prices have gone up which would be fine if the quality went up also. Now I find myself replacing the heads every 1-2 weeks as the perfectly good sponge comes away from the plastic rendering it useless. I am not a particularly aggressive cleaner, and am saddened by the diminished quality of what remains to be a fantastic design.

                                        Dishwand refills...
                                        I bought a double refill two weeks ago..gave one to my daughter and both of us have experienced the coming apart of the dotted bottom (which is supposed to be a plus..as it doesn't hold onto crumbs, etc.)...but they are falling off. Have never experienced this with the regular refills...would have purchased them but they were out of stock at the time. So..purchased these bad purple refills.

                                          I love these sponges, the trouble is you can hardly find them on the store shelf. Scotch-Brite needs to make them more available. Their new style of dishwand refills are too slick and pretty-much useless.

                                                [This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We use these in our house as there do make hand-washing dishes much easier. However, the sponge will, with out a doubt, separate from the plastic base within a few weeks. Poor design or bad manufacturing technique is the only flaw. I still buy them as they are effective and throwing your dish sponge away every few weeks is probably a good idea anyways.
