A great facial scrubber too! Multipurpose
UPDATE:
I ordered a bunch of the other kinds of scrubbers from another seller; those scrubbers have two sided bristles, because my spouse thought that the two sided ones would be better. Guess what-they're not! The two-sided bristles are not very good for scrubbing dishes or greasy messes, because the bristles are too long.
These are still the best. The bristles are short enough to be firmer and retain foamed soap when scrubbing dishes, and the other side with the rubber bumper area is still superior for washing vegetables. The multi-functionality of it working as a trivet is really good, and the size is still superior to the other double-sided silicone brushes. And yes, I still keep one of the pack in the bathroom as a facial scrubber. These also do fine for quick bursts of five seconds or so in the microwave to kill any bacteria, although they look new after every wash.
For baked-on messes, I start by using the flat side that I usually use for scrubbing vegetables. I feel that it gives me a better traction, and the silicone actually gives a bit of resistance. It's enough for me to get baked on messes off. I finish with the flip side. There's still elbow grease involved, but this scrubber doesn't get completely gross like with conventional sponges, and it works fine.
This scrubber vs conventional sponges: winner this scrubber!
This scrubber versus the double-sided silicone scrubbers: winner this scrubber!
By the way, since they each come in an individual bag, they're great little gifts for friends who enjoy getting things clean or who want to try the Korean silicone face scrubbers. Really quite a novelty. Love!

I was skeptical at first but after giving this a try, I am ordering more! This seller has the best price. They came promptly, each one in a sealed plastic bag. And they are big! I tried them two ways. I used them on some greasy plasticware without a lot of expectation, and that plastic wear squeaked! Shocking. I use a foam pump dish soap, so may have had different results than people who perhaps use soap right from the bottle; perhaps foam soaps work a lot better?
I also used it as a facial cleansing brush. I was at one of the big box stores (rhymes with Small-Smart) and saw a silicone facial scrubber that looks a lot like this. However, the Big Box store in my area wanted about $5 for two tiny little sponges. These are at least twice the size, and exactly the same composition, except for the suction cup on the back (to store on the bathroom mirror & keep dry, but I think the built in hook on these is better) of their sponges. I used it with a facial cleanser, and it was amazing! I even tried using the sponge dry, as a circulation aid, and my skin glowed. Double win!
I haven't tried it on fruits or vegetables yet, but I would imagine it does just as well.
We'll be using this for dishes and facial cleansers. Dries super fast, no odor, and I really like it. After a couple of days, I'm getting more.
Highly recommend.
