Double-Layer Melamine Dish Sponges, 5-Pack Kitchen Set

Foam for lather, scour for what sticks

• Two faces, one sponge

  The yellow foam side builds suds quickly on plates, cups and everyday dishes. Flip it over and the green scouring side takes on baked-on residue from a roasting pan or a casserole dish. The rounded edges sit comfortably in the hand while you work.

• Lather that lasts the sink

  The packaging calls out a high foaming rate, and the demo shows it on a frying pan with a full head of suds. A sponge that keeps lathering means less soap per dish and fewer trips back to the bottle before the sink is empty.

• Cleans without scratching

  The packaging says it will not damage appliance surfaces, and the cup wipe shows it on glazed ceramic. The scour face is firmer than the foam, so keep the foam side for nonstick pans and delicate finishes, and save the scour side for steel and baked-on spots.

Pick the face that matches the mess

1. 1
   Wet the sponge and squeeze

   Run the sponge under water and press out the extra. Add a drop of dish soap to the foam face and work it into a lather.

2. 2
   Start with the foam face

   Wash plates, glasses, cups and light grease on the yellow side. It lathers fast, so you need less soap per dish.

3. 3
   Flip to the scour side for baked-on spots

   Use the green face on roasting pans, casserole dishes and stuck-on food. Test a small area first on delicate finishes.

4. 4
   Rinse, wring and set it to dry

   Rinse off the grease, squeeze out the water and stand the sponge up so both faces can air out before the next use.

Rinse, wring, dry, repeat

• Rinse after each use

  Clear off grease and suds so residue does not dry into the foam.

• Wring it out

  A sponge stored wet goes slimy faster, so squeeze it hard before you set it down.

• Air dry between uses

  Stand it up so air reaches both faces. Stacking it wet keeps it damp.

• Wash by hand

  Use soap and warm water. The sponge is washable, and the pack is designed for everyday sink work.
