- Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2025Style: Walnut 6pkVerified PurchaseThese are just like another brand of sponges I like but a fraction of the cost. Will buy again!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2019Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseThese scrubbers are great. I especially appreciate their scrubbiness on the parts to my juicer. They seem to do very well on strainer-type kitchen gear, which is tough to achieve. Also handle pots just fine.
I also really like that they are (allegedly) compostable and not made of plastic. I tossed in compost pile. Will report back.
----Reporting back as promised. I've attached a photo of the scrubbers that I unearthed from the compost pile after being buried for several months. They do not appear to be degrading, like, at all. So I went to the company's web site and discovered that in addition to the walnut shells, the scrubbers also contain plastic. Furthermore, I read the Q&A portion of this listing and someone wrote the company who confirmed that these sponges are not compostable.
I feel like their ad here is super misleading. I have no idea whether these scrubbers are more or less environmentally friendly than your average supermarket brand.
In sum, a great scrubber. That is not compostable.

- Reviewed in the United States on August 5, 2024Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseI originally found these scouring pads at a local hardware store. When I wanted to restock, I discovered that the store discontinued selling them, but luckily I found them on Amazon.
They're effective scrubbers, and the best thing is they minimize contributing to microplastics. Originally I had thought they were plastic-free, but the packaging clarifies that they are made from walnut shells and recycled water bottles (% not specified).
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2019Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseThese are great little scrubbies. They work as well as the blue 3M ones we use to buy and best of all, no micro plastics dumped into the water system.
After many months and still only 1/2 through with the package, I find out that the base of the pads is recycled plastic. Here is the review I wrote for the company and I have changed my rating from 5 stars to 3.
I bought my 'Neat Nuts' from Amazon, so may not be listed as a verified buyer. I too was disappointed to realize that the make up of the pads was plastic. I am glad it is recycled, but that does nothing to help the micro plastics problem we have. I will finish with these pads and then move on to natural bristle brushes for my cleaning. Hope one day you can figure out how to make the shells stick together without a plastic base.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 28, 2021Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseVery durable. Can be washed in dishwasher and holds up for weeks. Works great on all materials. I still use steel for some copper, aluminum, and glass bakeware cleaning but this my go to for everyday use.
I compost these directly into compost pile or compost bin. Breakdown probably in years maybe less depending on how used it is.
I cut mine in half to get more use out of them. Have these in Subscribe and Save. Highly recommend. Works easily as well as Scotch brand plastic products.
- Reviewed in the United States on February 6, 2021Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseWas curious so I had to try them. I am so glad I did! They seem to last so much longer than the pads I previously used. I have been using one of these for over 3 weeks now, and it is just like it was when it was new. Three came to a package and it will be a very long time before I need to buy more. They clean my skillets and utensils well and easily rinse, so there is no food sitting there getting smelly or germy. There is no danger of scratching on non-stick cookware.

5.0 out of 5 stars A bit costly but works well
Style: Scour PadVerified PurchaseAmazon packaging aside the pictured card sleeve is the only packaging the scour pads came with so I was impressed there too. The material is soft enough for me to feel confident that it won't damage my pans but still abrasive enough to remove most dirt and it holds dish soap well enough to as a sponge by itself. After a few washes it will start to look fuzzy but it holds together, I expect these to last quite a while. Any issues I expect to have with these r.e. durability and hygiene are issues I'd also have with the plastic fibre equivalents so I won't review based on that.
