"Don’t skimp on your scourers—cheap pads wear out fast and leave you scrubbing twice as hard. A good Brillo pad cuts through grease like a hot knife through butter, saving you time and elbow grease in a busy kitchen!"
How Commercial Brillo Cleaning Pads & Scourers Work
These clever cleaning heroes combine two powerful elements: tough steel wool fibres and specially formulated soap. When wet, the soap activates and works with the abrasive steel wool to cut through grease, burnt-on food, and stubborn residues that regular cloths simply can't shift. The soap contains grease-cutting agents specifically formulated for commercial kitchen soiling, while the steel wool provides mechanical abrasion without damaging most hard surfaces. Each pad contains thousands of fine steel strands formed into a dense, effective scourer that reaches into crevices and textures where food residue hides. The result? Spotlessly clean pots, pans and equipment in half the time—with much less elbow grease from your kitchen staff!
Safety Guidelines
- Wear Gloves Protects hands from steel wool splinters—essential safety practice.
- Check Surfaces Test on inconspicuous area first—prevents damage.
- Avoid Delicate Items Not for glass or fine finishes—causes scratches.
- Rinse Thoroughly Removes all soap residue—ensures food safety.
- Ventilate Area Use in well-aired spaces—vapours can irritate.
- Dispose Properly Discard used pads appropriately—prevents drain blockages.

Real-World Success with Commercial Brillo Cleaning Pads & Scourers
The Harbour View restaurant in Brighton switched to professional-grade Brillo pads last year after struggling with inferior cleaning products. With three busy services daily and a reputation for seafood dishes (notoriously messy to clean up after), their kitchen porters were spending ages scrubbing pans. 'The difference was immediate,' reports head chef Martin. 'We've cut our post-service cleanup time by nearly 40%. The staff are happier, overtime is down, and our pots look better than ever.' They now pair commercial Brillo pads with stainless steel cleaners for a spotless kitchen that passes health inspections with flying colours.

Top Tips for Using Commercial Brillo Cleaning Pads & Scourers
To maximise effectiveness, soak particularly stubborn residue for a few minutes before attacking with your Brillo pad. For burnt-on food, wet the pad thoroughly and apply firm, circular pressure rather than aggressive scrubbing. Store unused pads in a dry place—moisture shortens their lifespan. For really tough jobs, pair with a commercial degreaser for enhanced results. And always rinse cleaned items thoroughly after scouring to remove any soap residue, especially on food contact surfaces.
