The Bottom Line

Scotch-Brite has come up with a fantastic scouring pad that will hold its own with any other pad on the market. Stains baked into my glass bakeware were no match for the Scotch-Brite Natural Scour Pad. But the best part was the gentle way the scouring pad was able to clean without gouging or scratching the surfaces of my dishes.

Guide Review - Scotch-Brite Natural Fiber Non-Scratch Scour Pads

I'm generally not a fan of scouring pads. Many can actually do a lot of damage to surfaces in their quest for clean. Scouring pads also tend to disintegrate after extended use, shaving off bits of themselves as you clean. Usually, a scouring pad is my last resort for cleaning.

The Scotch-Brite Natural Fiber Scour Pad is different. Made from natural agave fibers, the scouring surface is gentle to the items it's cleaning. No pitting, scratching, or gouging is going to happen with this scouring pad. But the Scotch-Brite Natural Fiber Scour Pad is also tough. Taking it head-to-head with other scouring pads, it held its own in removing tough stains on my glass baking dishes.

The Scotch-Brite Natural Fiber Scour Pad also impressed me with its durability. Scrubbing session after scrubbing session it performed perfectly, without large chunks or tiny pieces breaking off. After repeat uses, one or two of the natural fibers began to peel away from the main scouring pad, but the pad continued to perform as it had before. The pad was also easy to rinse and dry in between scouring sessions.

I kept trying to find tougher jobs to get the Scotch-Brite pad to show signs of wear and tear, but this scouring pad was determined to wear me out first.
