Why do my hands burn when I start with a new sponge? The package I purchased, all the sponges I had to toss out, they burnt my hands like pins were in my hand.

DO NOT BUY
Would Not RecommendThis product is garbage. I have 2 packs of them and each sponge only last about a few days if that. We’ve had to put a little hair catcher thing in our kitchen sink to keep the sponge pieces from getting into our garbage disposal. We only use them for washing dishes.

No longer real O-Cellos
I have used O-Cello sponges for 20 years. Then Scotch Brite bought them. Now they are terrible, just like Scotch Brite's other sponges. The spongy material disinigrates. With the old O-Cellos, that never happened. The scrubber would wear out first.

Small condo/home needs.
Would RecommendThese sponges have been my 'go to' for at least 10 years now. Usage includes small dish cleaning and a separate sponge for countertop wipe downs. No disappointments with any odors or sponge breakage. They usually last 3 weeks without any need for the microwave method or antifungal dish soap.

Do you even care?
If you would care about what the loyal consumers think, you just might make MORE profits than less by maintaining them. The other reviewers said it all. To have a sponge you've always used tear up so fast is disappointing. I use mine to wipe my sink and shower only so it makes no sense. You may think it's a smart move to change them, but you may pay adversely in the end.
