scrub sponge

Abrasive cleaning pad

A scrub sponge is a cleaning tool with two sides: a soft absorbent sponge for wiping and a coarser abrasive surface for scouring.

The abrasive side removes stuck-on food or grime that the soft side can't handle: I need the scrub sponge for these baked-on dishes.

Also called a scouring sponge.
