Scouring Pads & Sticks

Scouring Pads & Sticks FAQ

• Do scouring pads work better with degreaser or dish detergent?

  For kitchen grease and protein soils, a degreaser typically speeds removal and reduces scrubbing time. For routine dishwashing and light soil, dish detergent is often sufficient.

• How do I reduce pad consumption in a busy kitchen?

  Standardize cut levels by task, train staff on approved surfaces, and stock pads at point of use to prevent over-scrubbing. Buying by the case also helps maintain consistent quality and availability.

• What is the best way to buy scouring pads for multiple locations?

  Choose a small set of approved pad types (light, medium, heavy) and order in bulk to keep performance consistent. Set par levels per area and reorder on a schedule to avoid stockouts.

• When should I use a scouring stick instead of a pad?

  Use a scouring stick for concentrated, baked-on buildup where a pad is too flexible or slow. Sticks provide targeted abrasion for carbonized residue on durable surfaces.

• Which scouring pad is safest for stainless steel and delicate surfaces?

  Use a light-duty or non-scratch pad when scratching is a concern. For stainless, test in an inconspicuous area and avoid heavy-duty abrasives on polished finishes or coated cookware.
