Ratings & Reviews for ocelo Multi-Purpose Cellulose Sponge 4 -Pack

Love these sponges

I have been using these sponges for years and just love them. They never smell and last a long time.

Bad Quality. Disappointed.

I have been using this product for quite some time for the kitchen use. I usually like 3M products since they are well-known for their innovation and high quality. However, this item tear and fall apart easily after a few uses. Surprisingly, the same area. It is getting annoying and looking for the improvement. Thanks!

Different colors respond differently

I've noticed that different colored sponges feel different and last different amounts of time. For every yellow sponge I go through two green ones or pink ones. I thought this might just be my imagination so I have loosely kept track over the last six months and found it to be true. Green is the worst. If i could just buy all yellow I would do that. This is not so much a complaint as a question. Why does yellow last longer and feel different than the others?

A great decline in quality

I have used this product over 20 years and have noticed a steep decline in the quality of the sponges. This past year, every sponge I've used has split down the middle after only a week of washing up dishes. Sadly, I must give up on this product. What a shame.

Sponges SPLIT

I have used these sponges for years-lateothey all tear or split in the same place!!! It is extremely frustrating and I feel I am wasting my $$$ 3M you can do better!!!

Go To Tool for Cleaning and Wiping

Use mine mainly in dishwashing, cleaning counters, etc. Keep several in use and allow to completely dry before reusing. Disinfect them with Pinesol. Good cleaning action.

Change the Colors back!

I've been using OCello sponges forever. Why in the world have you started using the buff color??? That color is so ugly that it looks dirty from the moment I open the package and have to use it. I threw the first one away thinking there was a "bad" one in the package!!?? Please go back to your original colors!

Stinky after 3 uses! Yuck!

I've never experienced this with sponges before...They got disgusting after just a few uses....I tossed them and bought a different brand.

What happened? Falls apart after a couple of uses

I have been buying, and have been very pleased with, Ocelo sponges for decades, until now. I was not a fan when there was a change a while back (I believe to resist odors) that caused them to be initially less absorbent . However, after several uses the absorbency increased so I overlooked that issue. But the last few packages I have purchased have been a complete waste of money. They fall apart after a few uses. Several have torn, a small rip developed the first time I used it and after a ...

Not the Ocelo sponges I've loved.

I'm extremely disappointed of recent purchases of your Ocelo sponges. They used to be reliable and durable and will last for weeks; but for some reasons, they start to shred and fall apart after a few usage.

A formerly great product which has been ruined.

Ocelo sponges used to be a very good product - I have used them for decades. The company recently made a very bad decision and have made the product MUCH thinner and less absorbent. I suppose the change was made to increase profits, but that may just backfire since I, for one, will no longer be purchasing them and I imagine the company will lose business from others as well.

Product has changed for the worse.

Was really looking forward to this sponge

I am terribly disappointed, I had such high hopes for these sponges. It’s hard finding a sponge that will last weeks and resist odor. I have loved using Lysol sponges for this exact reason but they are hard to find in store so I was told great things about ocelo sponges and decided to give them a try. I bought a large pack and washed dishes that first night. The next morning the whole sink stunk so bad, it was the sponge. I couldn’t believe it, I was so disappointed. Every time I touch the spong...

Terrible quality

I used to buy this brand all of the time. The last few packages have been terrible. They break down after 1 use. I used to be able to use the same sponge for months. I am very disappointed.

I'm happy using Ocelo sponges

I have used these sponges for years for washing dishes (including my non-stick pans), wiping the counters, cleaning the sinks, etc. I've been very happy with these sponges. (The only thing I don't like is the pink sponges! They are yukky to me. And I'm a female. Please switch to green or orange or blue, please.) Thanks, 3M.

color of sponges

I have been hoping for decades that your company would make these sponges in white or beige. The circus colors (bright pink, green, etc.) stand out like a sore thumb in my kitchen and bathroom. PLEASE consider white or beige in the handy sponge line, as I only buy the soft kind (not with a scrubby side), and would SO GREATLY APPRECIATE a better color palette.

Horrible Odor

The last several packages I purchased have had a horrible odor after using for only one week. The pkg says "resists odors guaranteed" but I think not!

OCELO sponges DON'T absorb water anymore!!!!

What has happened to the production of OCELO sponges now??? They DO NOT ABSORB WATER ANY MORE!!! I've used them my entire life - something has changed in the past 6 mths or so in the manufacturing of them. All they do is push the water around on my countertops! NO ABSORPTION WHATSOEVER!!! Sooo disappointed in the company! Had to go on-line to find different sponges to try now. Really can't believe they would sacrifice their good name in the cleaning industry for this junk now.
