Why do they make different colored dishwashing sponges?
The color of the sponge itself does not matter, but the color of a material that feels like felt, which is glued to the sponge. It is called Scotch-Brite. If you see Scotch-Brite green on the sponge, you know it's the densest, containing abrasive. It's designed to wash the roughest surface that isn't afraid of minor scratches.
