Far superior product to the false economy of cheap knock-offs, taking off hardened film of grease
This for all the world sounds like a product trial but it wasn't. We were using these sponges to clean up 2 lathes in a workshop prior to putting them in storage. We had been using a selection of detergents for getting rid of the Coagulated Grease of Ages on both lathes but without much success. This was dried on dirt that had become a kind of glaze and we tried a few different sponges including cheapo copies of these Flash products. All of them removed dirt that the detergent couldn't but the cheap fakes wore out in no time, didn't take off as much dirt or as quickly and didn't last as long. The net result was that despite being a slightly higher price the Flash product was far more economical to use, taking less time, lasting longer and removing more dirt. I don't know the brand of the cheap fake items but the Flash ones came fresh from their packets and as soon as I got home I bought some for myself. Highly recommended and don't waste your time on the cheaper products because, ultimately, they aren't!
