I have used it daily since my purchase and still love it. The handle is sturdy, round, and thick enough for confident gripping. (Flat handles are painful for my arthritis, but this rounder more full handle is comfortable.) The handle is also long enough for use in my taller 20+ oz thermos style travel mugs. As for cleaning of the bottle sponge itself, I have never had it get "gross" or "icky" as mentioned in other reviews. Perhaps my routine is adequate enough to prevent that from happening. It is my routine to wash my travel bottle/mugs with soapy water in them, insert sponge brush and apply appropriate pressure while agitating it inside the bottle. I remove sponge brush and rinse both bottle/mug and sponge brush under running water. Sometimes I bath rinse bottle/mug, but it is routine that my sponge brush is always rinsed under running water, squeezed out, and stood up in my sink caddy canister for drying/storage. I never leave dishes and sponge sitting in dirty water. When the bottle/mug is getting washed/rinsed/set to dry then so is my bottle sponge. I use it DAILY to clean several creamy-coffee dirtied 20+oz travel mugs as well as regular drinking glasses. I have never put it in a dishwasher or microwaved it to clean it as I have not felt the slightest need to. I have been so pleased with its performance that a few months ago I ordered another one not because the year-old one needed replaced, but for fear that when it did, these might no longer be available. Taken care of properly (not left sitting in stagnant dirty water), these are great and durable. Read more

I don’t have a dishwasher, so take things like well-made, highly-functional dishwashing tools pretty seriously. I still have and use the first Casabella brush I ever bought... it’s more than ten years old and still in pristine condition. My experience with this brand is the only reason I bought this one. I don’t usually go for sponges because they kinda gross me out, but this thing is a winner. It is so, so perfect for getting every, single spot of my glasses and coffee cups sparkling clean with minimal effort. And, it dries super fast, rendering my fear of breeding germs nonexistent. I’m really glad I got this, I had no idea I was working way too hard by using a brush to wash cups and glasses. Read more
The description says clear handle with the colors listed but you receive the other sponge pictured with the blue and white handle. I have the old sponge and I compared, the one with the blue and white handle is longer. This will help when washing out big jars or coffee mugs. Read more
I use this for putting lotion on my legs and feet because I can't reach them with my stiff back issues and it's great. Lotion goes on smooth and completely covers those area's. Read more
These Casabella sponge brushes are the finest one's that I have see anywhere. They are a perfect length to get down into tall glasses and any other glass or vessel you want to use them for. They are rounded at the bottom so there is nothing at the end of the brush to scratch the inside bottoms of the glasses which is very important and the polycarbonate handle is smooth, easy to hold, and won't chip or scratch a thing. I bought four of these so I'd have them on hand when one of them wears out. They look like they will last a long time, but at $4.47 on sale, I wanted to stock up on some to use as backups. I have a large set of expensive Strahl polycarbonate unbreakable glasses and I needed something just like this to wash them with. My glasses look pristine thanks to these sponge brushes. These Casabella brushes are wonderful and I would HIGHLY recommend them to ANYONE! Thank for reading my review and I hope this helps you decide if you want them.

I had used so many cheap cup washing sponges and kept wasting my money because they just fell apart after a couple of uses. Not so with this one! This sponge cup brush is durable and has kept its shape and usability! I even washed it in the washing machine (air dried)! I highly recommend this product. Read more
Wow! This sponge is great. I've been looking for ones that are referred to as puff sponges. I found one at the local K-Mart that was like a cylinder with a scrubby brush on the end. Cheaply made at a fraction of the cost & not very user friendly but with the rising cost of living. Hesitate to buy online since I could not see the quality. Reading reviews can be misleading but in this case, not so much. The handle is high quality as are the sponges & very secure. I am not an aggressor when it comes to cleaning dishes but this is, okay, the one I got is extremely great in all aspects & I am going to buy another one so that in years to come, I won't have to look for this quality & workmanship at this price.
