scouring powder

Gritty cleaning agent

Scouring powder is a powdered cleaning product containing abrasives and often bleach, used to scrub hard surfaces like sinks, bathtubs, and stovetops.

The gritty texture helps remove stubborn stains, rust, and mineral deposits: She sprinkled scouring powder in the sink and scrubbed until the porcelain gleamed.
