The very first time I squeezed water out, it broke in half! Then while gently scrubbing a small (5"x6") leather purse, it simply crumbled away. When there was about 1/3 of one (of one 1/2) left, it actually did begn removing scuffs...but was crumbling so badly by that time the crumbles were getting all over the purse, which I had to rinse and dry with a cottten washcloth to remove. What a total waste of money, time and energy. NEVER again! I have the pieces, do you want them back?
