These can clean specialty glasses and other items that the dishwasher can't and it will get eggs off a stainless steel pan even after its gone thru the dishwasher and comes out baked on."
"I have read all the reviews of them not lasting after weeks, but that is the same as any sponge you buy from the store, with time they all are going to fall apart and/or break. I have found that with sharp knives it will cut the sponge and lead to falling apart, but a sharp knife will cut any sponge."
"The ORANGE one works great."
"I do wish they lasted a bit longer, but I love the fact that they can be thrown in the dishwasher for cleaning and they never have that sour smell that traditional sponges & dish cloths get."
"These things last me a while, save the headache of icky sponges, scrub extremely well AND makes my sink area look cute!"
"They can be used all around the house to clean anything, including walls, countertops, tables, etc. Also they will leave tiny pieces of the sponge all over your dishes as they break down. Final Thoughts: If these sponges lasted for about a month or so each, they would be great. They are quite expensive to begin with and for that price you would expect them to last as long as they are advertised to do so."
"At first I was very pleased with the sponge, but quickly it started to disinigrate and specs of the sponge ended up all over my dishes!!!"

"Great sponge for hand washing dishes, cleaning and art projects."
"I haven't found a good replacement for them so I will keep buying them."
"They are not great for heavy duty cleaning on cast iron and the outer covering will disintegrate if you try to use it for that."
"I have used Dobie sponges for years and years."

Find Best Price at Amazon"I purchased these because I thought they were the Vibrawipe brand that I had purchased about a year ago."
"I don't typically write long reviews for products, but I definitely wanted to take a few minutes to talk about these microfiber cleaning cloths. It's worth taking a few minutes to research how microfiber cloths pick up dirt and bacteria just so you can fully appreciate what these little cloths are doing with nothing but water. Here are some of my favorite uses: - Dusting (use it dry). - Mirrors (wet half of the towel to wipe down the glass and follow up with the dry half to dry). - Electronic screens (use it dry). - Stainless steel (clean with a wet one and follow up with a dry one). - Hardwood floors (mine fits my mop and I use dry ones for dusting and wet ones for mopping). - Soaking up spilled water. - cleaning cabinetry. - washing the car. To keep these cloths cleaning effectively, make sure you are washing them separately (when washed with other clothes they will pick up and hold on to lint which will be a hassle to get off) and in hot water."
"Also, occasionally one will get washed with regular laundry (in one case, a gray velour blanket - yikes!). The different colors allow me to separate uses; for instance, I use the blue ones for the bathroom (blue for loo), yellow for glass surfaces, and the green everywhere else."
"if you drop liquid on a carpet just grab a couple of these, mcrofiber is super absorbent, i place this on the spill and stand on it for a minute, it will soak it right out."
"I originally purchased these to clean my expensive monitors with the help of some distilled water and a camera cleaning bulb."
"It took significantly less effort to remove the wax than the terry towels I had been using."
"First of all I loved the fact that I could order a multi pack online and didn't have to go to the store for these."

This also came with a large suction cup to hang the squeegee on - it isn't a suction cup with a hook to hang it on, the squeegee actually fits into the suction cup. Having the squeegee actually on the suction cup seems like it puts less stress on the suction cup than hanging the squeegee from an attached hook does."
"Sooo happy with this squeegee!"
"Pretty and convenient."
"We have a European shower door & it keeps it clean after we shower.... we squeegee!"
"This is the best squeegee that I've owned."
"And the suction cup holds well - but to be fair I do have it attached to the glass enclosure of the shower."
"Really great squeegee that does even better than I expected."
"My husband loves this squeegie and swears it's the best one he's ever had."

I ended up having to use 4 sponges on his shower stall, tub and glass shower doors; but WOW! I have never seen a shower as clean as his turned out. I find that wetting the tub and shower doors helps them come clean easier."
"I sprayed something in my shower a few months ago and it got on my shower panel, leaving this ugly rusty spray stain on it, I couldn't get it off and thought I'd use this to give it a try and the stain just disappeared!"
"Here’s the thing: These will NOT last you like a regular sponge."
"Works especially great on bugs on the front of a car/truck and cleans the wheels/rims with little effort (remove brake dust)."
"It doesn't matter if your cleaning walls or cleaning the bathtub."
"I always heard how wonderful these things were, now I’m on the bandwagon."
"One sponge even helped power through the textured floor grips - I finally discovered they aren't meant to be a different color from the rest of the tub!"
"these work well for cleaning walls or cleaning the grout on my bathroom counters but these disintegrate pretty fast."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile."
"I also was very afraid to buy a whole new vacuum and spend hundreds of dollars on something that might just clog up and break when faced with all the hair we had here. I chose this broom because it is marketed specifically as a fur remover and because of the positive reviews describing it, so I'm here to add one more. I was very, very skeptical that the solution to my pet hair problem was something as ludicrous as squeegeeing my carpet, but the results are undeniable. If you are not fully able-bodied, or just aren't looking to work that hard to save the money, a powerful vacuum cleaner may still be your wisest choice. Personally, I plan to purchase a small 20 dollar shop-vac as a companion to this broom, especially because right now I have to just pick up the wads of hair with my hands. This should highlight the improvement in hair (And even some other debris) removal, as well as how the bristles where able to easily fluff back up a section of carpet that had been pressed down over many months by a heavy metal power strip."
"I own a boarding kennel and this is the only broom I use."
"Pros: extends to a little over 5ft, retracts to about 3ft, length of brush is easy to control(not too long), has two sides (brush for carpet, squeegee side for flat surfaces), worth $18. Cons: needs elbow grease ;), brush head occasionally needs to be tightened (depends on how I use it)."
"The best part... You don't have to clean the bristles like a regular broom. I just rinsed the broom when I was done and the little dirt that was on the bristles washed away!"
"Not gonna lie, bought this after reading a Buzzfeed post."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"My Amazon review for my new O-Cedar Easy-Wring Microfiber mop: I need to qualify my review to disclose that I am blessed to be in a position to pay someone else to mop my floors. I can't tell if this is what she has been using this whole time but considering that I don't remember EVER buying a mop, much less a replacement head for it, there is no other less mortifying reality. Again, I'm hardly a mop expert but it appears to me that keeping the mop head (if that's what you even call it) only lightly damp allows you to exert more pressure to pick up more stubborn grime without creating puddles. Then to take off mop head, simply stand on some strands and lift handle up and the head pops right off. This, needless to say, is a testament to how easy the mop is to use (and how bad of a mother/grandmother I am.)."
"Update 8/07/16 After purchasing a new unit I found the mop was more efficient removing water than my previous one. Feb 11, 2016, A gentleman jarred my memory, about disassembling cleaning and greasing the internal moving parts to prevent seizing. I've moped and supervised many floors in my 20 plus years in the Navy, and In my life.I have never come across a mop that simplified my life as this one has. The pulley system began to seize causing the base of the foot peddle to break in half rendering it useless."
"I have dark cherry hardwood floors and a house that is practically all large windows with very few full length walls therefore the sun constantly "highlights" every speck of dirt, Black Lab hair, and paw print. It spins almost all of the water out so each mopping is done without pushing dirty water around as is the case with traditional mops and buckets. I also found there were certain positions which worked better...a wee bit of trial and error practice was required but after a couple of minutes I got in the groove and all worked well."
