It has been in the Indian market for nearly more than a decade now. It has revolutionized the way vessels are cleaned in Indian Kitchens. Yes, we are talking about “Scotchbrite” the cleaning pad which comes from the stable of 3M.

Before scothbrite, and perhaps still the choice of many homes was the plastic based scrubber or coconut husk or even in some extreme cases steel wool…Each had their own set of disadvantages. The plastic scrubber lacked the friction when mixed with cleaning liquids. This made it difficult for users to fight dirt and stains. It was ok for regular cleaning.

The coconut husk while being “green” in its approach, became moist and tended to loose its roughness which again made it not a good choice for the cleaning. Steel wool is probably the worst of the lot. It not only scratched the vessels badly in the pretext of cleaning but also gave the user a risk of cut or a bruise.

Scothbrite eliminated all these problems. Its synthetic nature gave it the right amount of friction while protecting your vessels, especially the Teflon coated ones. It also gives your hands the right amount of care and despite water and soapy conditions, it offered the right amount of friction to clean the vessels.

After using scotchbrite, one has to remember to squeeze and dry it so that it is as good as new for the next use.

We will try and update some information on the sizes available and also the pricing from some local stores.
