Better Sponge Review: A Silicone Kitchen Sponge?

Been watching you for years, hit this one trying to find if you have a scrub daddy review..

Yeah, we understand that the silicone sponge is not absorbent. You don't need to repeat it.

Why would you need to scrub a beer glass? How is that a good test? Waste of time.

Better sponge looks ideal for cleaning the bath out

So I had gotten the 5-inch round version a few years ago, larger and round, at the Tree Store Where Everything Used To Be A Dollar. I wish I’d gotten more because they don’t carry them anymore. I never used it for cleaning dishes or pans; rather I found it very nice in the shower to exfoliate my skin from time to time. It holds soap suds or body wash gel, and comfortably scrubs my skin without being harsh. I even use it on my face and occasionally other areas. Always rinses clean and no smell.

I bought several more on The ‘Zon last week and tried them for different uses.

One of them I tried for scrubbing a stainless steel pan, and also tried n my kitchen counter. Not so scrubby and not very effective on stuck-on food stains. Not very absorbent for liquid spills or n the counter top.

I tried another in the shower. Nice for exfoliating like my current one, but a bit too small for my liking.

One other use I found was for stroking my cat to remove excess fur. It was ok at this, it didn’t pull out as much as a brush , but my kitty seems to enjoy it. (Probably simulates another cat’s tongue licking it? 😄) I could have seen maybe using this almost every day, but the loaded up hair is very difficult to get out.
I also tried this on my couch which had excess cat hair; again it picked up ok (not great), but was difficult to clean out afterwards.

It's not a sponge, period. It's just the wrong name and set up for wrong expectation. Silicone does not absorb water at all.

The trick about those sponges is not to apply pressure but let the silicone brushes do their work

I prefer these sponges for hand scrubbing which exfoliates and gets bacterial between fingers and light brushing under the nails (finer and the big orange one). They are what I used pre-virus quarantine and continued after it. Great facial and lips exfoliant too (finer brush one). I buy the regular kitchen ones for my make-up cleaning brushes too. It's cheaper than having the classification for make-up

I keep on for freshening up pet water bowls too

I suppose they don’t harbour bacteria as much as normal sponges bc they don’t sit full of water for ages

I find them good for projects like pottery... they clean the tools well without getting clogged up with mud

Review the Nano or emery sponge I want to see your thoughts!!!

The "shower" buffing hand scrubbies at Walmart in shampoo/ body soap area. Or Dollar Tree , THOSE ARE AWESOME FOR Everything. You can color code em too, like blue dishes, green veggies, pink shower, and You just throw them in the washer and dryer w your towels. The BEST!

No thanks

Use a microfiber cloth to pick up the water on the glass door.

It is a realistic solution. People will pay extra for a sub par sponge to not make waste.

It's not a sponge. Another misdirection and fake product. It's a scrubber folks!! Why is this reviewer persistiing in testing/reviewing this item as a "sponge"? He's confused?

Is the better sponge better than a washcloth? What about other non metal scrubbers?

thanks i had one and only used it to hold a bar of soap ...this is great

I have another "sponge" like the very same green one in the video, but as a smaller hourglass like shape. I find it works terrific on a new pot/pan that I want to keep looking new, except for any gas burner scratches on the bottom, which are hard to avoid. I accept that it's not absorbent and that it doesn't matter considering it's the right tool for the job, so to speak. I apply foam soap directly on the sponge and easily scrub away without ANY surface scratching. As a further step to keep cookware looking sparkling new, I use Bon Ami or Bar Keeper's Friend on my sponge to form a paste applied in circles, let it sit for a minute or more, rinse, and behold a restored new shiny finish. Beyond that, I typically have not much use for it. But it's a perfect tool for my intended use, without a doubt. For more stuck on bits I use a plastic scrub brush with a scraper edge, which is a great tool for that first pass cleaning job. My "sponge" does the rest. Great combo! So when I bought a new All-Clad fry pan, this technique is what I've been using ever since. Looks brand new all the time!

Really glad you reviewed this. I've been looking for them to no avail but online. But yeah, not gonna waste my money for a "fancy scrubber in silicone" On another note, Why couldn't you use the scrubs that have the texture to pick up a hot pot?

I love my silicon sponges for doing the dishes. The fact they can be put in the dishwasher to sanitize them is perfect. Regular sponges get so gross after just a few uses.

So if this is the better sponge, whats the best sponge?

I ended up buying the smiley face sponge - the Scrub Daddy and I love it. Mostly, it makes me smile every time I walk up to my sink.

I just wash dishes with a dish brush and soak it in bleach after. Keeps my hands dry.

I bought silicon scrub brushes & they are awesome but I don’t use them for everything

I have some of these they are ok. Not brilliant. If food has hardened and stuvk on it won't get it off unless ypu soak it first.

It's more of a scrubber than a sponge. A sponge has to absorb things, by definition. :)

🗣️ GOOD JOB👍💖💞😁💯

I have those and It's just more satisfying to pet and rub on your face if you don't do the dishes with it first

my OCD kicked in with this one, need to use more soap. lol..or maybe i use too much soap🤣

I use these for dishes but for my stove/fridge or bath i use a cloth reusable sponge with microfiber so it absorbs better

Bruh, do all Americans wash dishes like this? Or just men? Or just American men?

That is very great!We make these kinds of sponge as well.SQsilicone could help to provide them to all over the worlds with reason prices!

James taking issue with a silicone sponge not absorbing water for 11 minutes. THIS IS THE QUALITY CONTENT I SIGNED UP FOR. lolol great vid

Plot twist. He has a dishwasher . I just bought one. Using it for a couple of days. So far so good.

Selling these as bath sponges now hahaha

I personally don't like silicone it becomes slimy when it has frequent contact with water

I have it don't use it , don't like them

I have similar silicon to collect the pet hair and it works very well but the way you use the sponge on the sofa you cannot expect you to get them all.

Regular sponges release microplastic in the water and pollutes the oceans

Siliconekitchenspong

It looks great for dealing with non-stick surfaces

I had a similar one and hated it. I ended up using them as lint grabbers on sweaters

This review is horrible!! You spent entirely too much time on the green sponge and it’s clear you don’t clean often. Also, how many times do you need to test how absorbent the better sponge is?? After the first time it’s pretty clear.

I would not buy this

Video is "edited" ..

you didn't wash the plastic container nor the tefal pan in real time :(

Great sponge

Scouring pads yes. Sponges no.
