A can of clorox lasts forever.
I would expect melamine sponges to do that.
I’m more concerned about the artificial sex hormones and other unnecessary psych drugs in our water systems.
You are what you scrub.
Those little stinkers are very abrasive. I’ll bet people are etching the surfaces of their things more than they realize.
“A new study led by researchers at Ocean Conservancy and the University of Toronto found microplastics particles in 88 percent of protein food samples across 16 types, including seafood, pork, beef, chicken, tofu, and three different plant-based meat alternatives. The study also found no statistical difference in microplastics concentrations between land- and ocean-sourced proteins.”
Oh it gets better....

Anybody that uses them know they leave some grit behind. I use them on my white counters, and to clean my stainless steel sink. I only use cutting boards to cut my meat and veggies, and throw those in the dishwasher, so no food touches the counter. I also use them to scrub the inside of my coffee carafe, but make sure I rinse it well afterward because they can leave grit. I’d bet that melamine in food from China has killed, or damaged more people around the world than Mr. Clean has. They poisoned people’s pets back in 2007 with melamine in pet food. They also got caught putting it in baby formula in 2008.
Anyone not using some kind of good drinking water filtration system is ingesting all kinds of microplastics, PFAS, and other disease causing contaminants.
