Scented [SEP] The sponges were well packaged, soft, and the size is right. I didn't know, however, that they were scented. I have tried soaking them, but to no avail. The water was cloudy after soaking and also fragrant. I'm not sure what products they use to color and scent the sponges, but I'd rather they didn't. I wish they had described them more accurately, there was no mention of the fragrance.
