scouring pads
Rough kitchen scrubbers
Scouring pads are abrasive cleaning tools used to scrub stubborn residue from pots, pans, and other surfaces.
They range from steel wool to synthetic mesh to foam backed with abrasive material.
I need a scouring pad to get this burnt cheese off the pan.
The abrasiveness that makes them effective can also scratch delicate surfaces.
