I agree, the silicone sponge just did not work for me. I use these dish scrubbing cloths instead now -- still disposable, but I find each cloth works just as well as a sponge and lasts much longer because they're easier to clean and dry quickly. I run them through the laundry for a few times before I throw them away.
