Know before you buy
No, this scrubber is designed for heavy-duty cleaning and is too abrasive for non-stick coatings. It is best suited for stainless steel, cast iron, and glassware.
Because it is made of stainless steel, it does not harbor bacteria like traditional sponges. Simply rinse it thoroughly with hot water and a little soap after each use and let it air dry.
No, this product is not dishwasher safe. Hand washing is the recommended method to maintain its integrity and ensure it remains clean.
While it is effective for cleaning decanters, use a gentle touch. The stainless steel mesh is durable, so apply light pressure to avoid surface scratches on delicate glassware.
As a reusable, stainless steel tool, it is designed to last for years. Unlike synthetic sponges that need frequent replacement, this scrubber maintains its shape and effectiveness over time.
