Like many of the other reviewers I cannot grasp why retailers have generally pulled these products from the shelves over the last couple of years? I have used these kind of nylon 'dishwashing pads' for many many years and just refer to all similar brand items as scrubbies. They are the best product I have ever found for general purpose dish and pot scrubbing especially with non-stick surfaces. But...it has been my experience that whatever the brand or type they are invariably held together with string and/or rubber bands. DUH? Nylon fastened with cotton and rubber is pretty much a total design flub and guaranteed material failure. Within a few days they always come apart. Just plain stupid or...planned obsolescence? SO, HERE IS THE SOLUTION (and I'm sorry if the work involved is unacceptable, but I find it extends the life indefinitely or until the scrubby itself gets all fouled up), GET YOURSELF SOME MONOFILAMENT FISHING LINE AT ABOUT 15# TEST STRENGTH AND WITH A NEEDLE (before first using the new scrubby) WEAVE THE LINE THROUGH THE PATH OF THE STRING OR RUBBER BAND, CINCH IT UP, TIE IT WITH A GOOD KNOT AND YOU GOT YOURSELF A LONG LASTING AND SATISFYING PRODUCT.

Since one of my favorite products was removed from the stores, I was unable to find it until told that Amazon carries it. I ordered a case of 24 Tuffys and am so happy to finally be again using this wonderful product.

I couldn't believe that SOS bought this product a few years ago and then promptly removed them from stores. How stupid is that! This is a great product for cleaning Teflon products and glass. I'm so glad that I decided to Google on Tuffy and find them again. Great product, dumb manufacturer.

I tried to order the original red and yellow Tuffies, but they're out, maybe permanently. These blue ones are bogus; they are flimsy. You may as well buy whatever scrubbers they're selling at the grocery. Another fine product bites the dust.

I have used Tuffy's for over 30 years,and they used to be the best thing for scrubbing dishes, and were totally indestructable, as well. But their durability has been going downhill for at least the past 5 years. Now these blue ones are so pathetic, they fall apart in just a few days!!! I have bought 2 in the last month, and they are both ready to be thrown away!! Sad that a great product has been ruined. I guess Clorox wasn't making enough money on them when they never wore out! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS GARBAGE!!

The older red and yellow Tuffy pads were FANTASTIC - 5 stars forever. These blue ones look like a blob of toxic slime, and are flimsier. Please bring back the old Tuffy!

The blue S.O.S. Tuffy Dishwashing Pad is NOT the same as the older red/orange type. The older orange Tuffy weighs .35 oz (new and without paperboard tag) and the new blue is .3 oz. (10g. versus 9g.). The older orange one has larger nylon "threads" and is loosely woven. The blue one is more compact and the nylon strands are thinner. Like many reviewers, I prefer the older orange ones; they last longer.

I called The Clorox Company (the number is on the cardboard tag on each Tuffy) to complain about the disappointing quality of the new Tuffy pads. The man said they "never" get any complaints about this product. So all you people who are unhappy with the quality, give Clorox a call. Maybe it will help.

title pretty much says it all, these things work great and last and last, too bad you have to buy 'em a box at a time now! Great amazon has them, any way.

We, like many others reviewing this item, have not seen these in stores recently and i really wanted them again. They really are the best at cleaning anything. They also do not have a sponge in them which makes them super clean for a longer time as well. These are great and i will not have to buy these for a long while b/c there are so many of them (24) in a box.
