Brillo Steel Wool Soap Pads, Long Lasting, Original Scent Cleaning, 18 Count (Original, 18 Count (Pack of 1))

I read about Brillo or rather soap soaked scrub pads in a magazine. I researched other brands of scouring soap but I decided to buy this (normally I would settle for generics) but the price on amazon was good,$ 2.78 for 18 pads that is 0.15 cents a pad.So far I have used it on sinks, in the shower, the wash basin, or stainless steel pots and even cast iron pots. I have to say that this is a great product and also gentle on the hands.Stainless Steel pots can get stubborn residues of food stuck to the bottom of the pan which are hard to remove, soaking and elbow grease only go so far. However soaking and brillo is a much effective method. I was afraid that it would scratch the pot but that has not happened. I guess the soaking helped because dry scrubbing would lead to scratches.It helps take away the grime and scum in the shower. Again it is seemingly safe to use on the bathtub.While I would not want to use these exclusively in the kitchen as dish soap works fine most of the time. I would definitely want to have some around for the tough food bits which cling as a result of steel pans and burnt messes.The company's website states the name Brillo is from the Latin word for 'bright',[1] though no such word exists in Latin; however, German, Italian, French, Spanish and English do have words for 'shine' or 'bright' beginning with brill- deriving from Latin words for beryl ( Source: Wikipedia)

Great scouring pad. Very glad that Amazon could provide it. My local store does not.

Using to keep outside of pans clean.

Brillo pads help clean baked-on grease and grime without scratching the pan. They can be reused several times before you need a new one,

What can you say? Brillo has been around a long time which speaks for itself.

These Brillo pads always work and give an extra sense of clean with the soap powder they are dusted with.I use one to clean my stove and usually it's enough to clean the stove without needing another.My ONLY complaint is that my box came nearly destroyed as you can see in my pictures. With the soap powder leaking out into my other items.. I doubt this is the standard way its delivered but it was an annoyance.

I clean my stainless pots perfect
