Magic sponges

Hi, I’ve become allergic to most household cleaning sprays, so have been using Cif which is great but recently my friend suggested Flash Magic Sponges, she gave me one to try and brilliant.
I’m looking online and there are so many different ones, much cheaper but does anyone know if they are as good as the Flash ones?

I had some from the pound shop which just disintegrated, so I wouldn't recommend those. (But also interested to know if there are good alternatives.)

Reading with interest as I want some more but not pricey ones

I've only bought cheap ones from Amazon and found they work well but disintegrate quickly. I haven't tried a Flash one to compare it to.

I think they shed microplastic though, so my go-tos are cream cleanser and a plain solution of citric acid/vinegar & washing up liquid. Astonish Hob Brite is also excellent, quite inert like cream cleanser but polishes away a bit cleaner.
