Know before you buy
No, the chainmail is designed to remove stuck-on food without stripping away the polymerized oil layer that makes up your seasoning. It is gentle enough to preserve the finish while being effective enough to clean stubborn residue.
We do not recommend using this on non-stick, ceramic, or enameled surfaces. The stainless steel rings are designed for durable materials like cast iron, stainless steel, and carbon steel, and may scratch delicate non-stick coatings.
Because it is made from 316-grade surgical stainless steel, it is dishwasher safe and rust-resistant. You can simply toss it in the dishwasher or rinse it with hot, soapy water and let it air dry.
316-grade stainless steel is a food-service grade material that offers superior resistance to corrosion and pitting. This ensures the scrubber remains hygienic and durable even after years of exposure to water and food acids.
Yes, the CM Scrubber includes a lifetime replacement guarantee. If the product fails to perform as expected, the manufacturer stands behind its quality.
