Skoy Scrub, 1-Piece Reusable, Non-Scratching Dish Scrubber for Kitchen and Household Cleaning, Planet-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe Soft Scrub, Assorted Colors and Designs

I recently replaced my old non-stick cookware, with their often very unhealthy mystery coatings, with cast iron. I wanted to be sure to treat my new pans right, which meant finding the ideal thing to clean them with. I didn't want one of those chain-mail scrubby things, as those looked like something I just wouldn't enjoy using. Their reviews were mixed, as well. I tried one of those hard plastic scrapers recommended as sure-fire at dislodging the cooked-on layer in the bottom of cast iron skillets. But I didn't like using that at all. It scratched channels through the layer, or just took off the top of the layer, so the plastic scraper was tedious to use, and it took a long time to get the pans clean. And even then- the pans were't really clean. There just had to be a better way to get cast iron clean, and without taking off the layers of seasoning that had taken time to establish. I remember typing "cleaning cast iron" in the search bar here on Amazon, and these scrubbers showed up. I remember thinking "huh- those sure don't look like anything special." How could a flat little thing like that clean a cooked-on layer of stuff clinging to the bottom of a cast iron pan? I read the reviews from people who had used it on their cast iron, and the reports were good. These little guys are also super affordable. Why not? When the Skoy scrubbers arrived (I tried the two pack) they still didn't look like anything special. I did quite like their cheerful colors, and they appeared to be well constructed. I also liked that by purchasing them I was helping to support a small independent business. But they sure didn't look like they were going to be cleaning powerhouses. I made cheeseburgers that afternoon, which put a cooked on layer of cooked-on greasy residue in my 10 inch Lodge cast iron pan. I waited for the pan to cool, then put it into the sink. I put in a tiny squeeze of dishwashing liquid and added some very hot water. I picked up the Skoy pad, and started scrubbing. And- that cooked on stuff came right off of the bottom of the pan. Like, immediately. I was surprised at how quickly this little flat colorful furry plastic thing had banished the layer of crusty crud without me needing to scrub hard, or for very long. It was almost like magic, how fast the pan got clean. I rinsed out the skillet, and I couldn't clearly see the bottom because of the suds. "I bet this scrubber didn't get *everything* off of the pan," I mused cynically. After the next rinse, I could see that the bottom of the pan was indeed completely clean. No clinging, cooked-on meat residue; no lingering unseen, but could be felt, layers of grease. And while this little wonder pad had gotten the pan really clean, I discovered it had not removed the seasoning layer. I dried the pan, set it on the stove with the burner on high, put a few drops of canola oil into it, and wiped the oil vigorously around the pan's interior with a wadded up paper towel. As I went over the bottom of the skillet, I could feel that the little seasoning "boost" I was giving it was going over a still well-seasoned surface. Fantastic! When one little thing goes really well, it it just seems to make life better. I tried the other Skoy pad (I had designated one pad for dishes and pans, and one for cleaning other things) on some stubborn soap scum that had built up in the tub. I sprayed the scum with some Method all purpose cleaner, then wiped the Skoy pad across, then rinsed. Boom! Gone. Completely clean. And I didn't need to use any kind of abrasive cleanser, or attack the tub with the industrial scrub brush next to it. I also didn't practically throw my back out getting the tub nice and clean. I was so impressed by the performance of these amazing pads that I immediately sent a set of two to three friends. One friend used one of them on parts of her kitchen floor that she hadn't, no matter what she tried, been able to get clean. It was like her kitchen floor had "ring around the collar" as the areas she was trying to clean ran around the periphery of the room, right against the walls. She was so happy at the quick results she got from the Skoy pad, she called to thank me then and there. The other two friends own cast iron, and I knew as soon as they used the Skoys on their cookware they were going to use nothing else. They too were delighted by the results, and marveled at how the cleaning time had been reduced to almost nothing by these effective little pads. After discovering these scrubbers, I can't imagine ever using anything else. I'm going to make sure I always have back-ups- not that either pad is showing any sign of wearing out. No matter what I try them on, the Skoy pads always do a much better job than I think they are going to, and they clean better than any other sponge/pad/scrubber/brush that I've ever used. They save a lot of time too as you aren't needing to scrub and scrub, and you don't get worn out from exertions in an attempt to get something clean. I have a glass-topped stove and they clean that beautifully without scratching it at all. I'm never going to be without these little Skoy scrubbers. I only wish I had known about them years ago- think of all of the time that would have saved! Which reminds me- its time again to deep clean the refrigerator. I'm sure the Skoy pads will make short work of the sticky little puddles and layers of stuff that build up so fast in there, as well. I can't wait to try them out in there. And I never, ever thought I would be looking forward to cleaning out the refrigerator, lol. Do yourself a favor, and give them a try!

Ever since glamping in leases I’ve used these. Brilliant item last a very long time gently but effective. Not cheap but worth the price has you won’t need to replacing them often.

Awesome product

Good alternative to ordinary scourers that leave harmful micro plastics in the water after use.

Great non scratch pad for easy cleaning of pots and pans even stubborn baked on foods come off easily.
