Skoy Scrub, 8-Pack Reusable, Non-Scratching Dish Scrubber for Kitchen and Household Cleaning, Planet-Friendly, Dishwasher Safe Soft Scrub, Assorted Colors and Designs

I recently replaced my old non-stick cookware, with their often very unhealthy mystery coatings, with cast iron. I wanted to be sure to treat my new pans right, which meant finding the ideal thing to clean them with. I didn't want one of those chain-mail scrubby things, as those looked like something I just wouldn't enjoy using. Their reviews were mixed, as well. I tried one of those hard plastic scrapers recommended as sure-fire at dislodging the cooked-on layer in the bottom of cast iron skillets. But I didn't like using that at all. It scratched channels through the layer, or just took off the top of the layer, so the plastic scraper was tedious to use, and it took a long time to get the pans clean. And even then- the pans were't really clean. There just had to be a better way to get cast iron clean, and without taking off the layers of seasoning that had taken time to establish. I remember typing "cleaning cast iron" in the search bar here on Amazon, and these scrubbers showed up. I remember thinking "huh- those sure don't look like anything special." How could a flat little thing like that clean a cooked-on layer of stuff clinging to the bottom of a cast iron pan? I read the reviews from people who had used it on their cast iron, and the reports were good. These little guys are also super affordable. Why not? When the Skoy scrubbers arrived (I tried the two pack) they still didn't look like anything special. I did quite like their cheerful colors, and they appeared to be well constructed. I also liked that by purchasing them I was helping to support a small independent business. But they sure didn't look like they were going to be cleaning powerhouses. I made cheeseburgers that afternoon, which put a cooked on layer of cooked-on greasy residue in my 10 inch Lodge cast iron pan. I waited for the pan to cool, then put it into the sink. I put in a tiny squeeze of dishwashing liquid and added some very hot water. I picked up the Skoy pad, and started scrubbing. And- that cooked on stuff came right off of the bottom of the pan. Like, immediately. I was surprised at how quickly this little flat colorful furry plastic thing had banished the layer of crusty crud without me needing to scrub hard, or for very long. It was almost like magic, how fast the pan got clean. I rinsed out the skillet, and I couldn't clearly see the bottom because of the suds. "I bet this scrubber didn't get *everything* off of the pan," I mused cynically. After the next rinse, I could see that the bottom of the pan was indeed completely clean. No clinging, cooked-on meat residue; no lingering unseen, but could be felt, layers of grease. And while this little wonder pad had gotten the pan really clean, I discovered it had not removed the seasoning layer. I dried the pan, set it on the stove with the burner on high, put a few drops of canola oil into it, and wiped the oil vigorously around the pan's interior with a wadded up paper towel. As I went over the bottom of the skillet, I could feel that the little seasoning "boost" I was giving it was going over a still well-seasoned surface. Fantastic! When one little thing goes really well, it it just seems to make life better. I tried the other Skoy pad (I had designated one pad for dishes and pans, and one for cleaning other things) on some stubborn soap scum that had built up in the tub. I sprayed the scum with some Method all purpose cleaner, then wiped the Skoy pad across, then rinsed. Boom! Gone. Completely clean. And I didn't need to use any kind of abrasive cleanser, or attack the tub with the industrial scrub brush next to it. I also didn't practically throw my back out getting the tub nice and clean. I was so impressed by the performance of these amazing pads that I immediately sent a set of two to three friends. One friend used one of them on parts of her kitchen floor that she hadn't, no matter what she tried, been able to get clean. It was like her kitchen floor had "ring around the collar" as the areas she was trying to clean ran around the periphery of the room, right against the walls. She was so happy at the quick results she got from the Skoy pad, she called to thank me then and there. The other two friends own cast iron, and I knew as soon as they used the Skoys on their cookware they were going to use nothing else. They too were delighted by the results, and marveled at how the cleaning time had been reduced to almost nothing by these effective little pads. After discovering these scrubbers, I can't imagine ever using anything else. I'm going to make sure I always have back-ups- not that either pad is showing any sign of wearing out. No matter what I try them on, the Skoy pads always do a much better job than I think they are going to, and they clean better than any other sponge/pad/scrubber/brush that I've ever used. They save a lot of time too as you aren't needing to scrub and scrub, and you don't get worn out from exertions in an attempt to get something clean. I have a glass-topped stove and they clean that beautifully without scratching it at all. I'm never going to be without these little Skoy scrubbers. I only wish I had known about them years ago- think of all of the time that would have saved! Which reminds me- its time again to deep clean the refrigerator. I'm sure the Skoy pads will make short work of the sticky little puddles and layers of stuff that build up so fast in there, as well. I can't wait to try them out in there. And I never, ever thought I would be looking forward to cleaning out the refrigerator, lol. Do yourself a favor, and give them a try!

These are some neat little scrubbers! I like the size and texture and I took a big leap of faith and used it on my Le Creuset, which I BABY because they are expensive! Anyone that uses Le Creuset or similar knows that while it creates magic meals, it also leaves behind a big mess. I’ve used Skoy on my big braiser and dutch oven several times now and it cleaned up some considerable messes with ease and without having to bust out the special cleaner that Le Creuset makes that usually gets everything squeaky clean. There’s been no scratches or damage caused by Skoy, inside or outside of the cookware. These are quite stiff and textured, and you don’t need much pressure to get things clean. I would imagine that it potentially “could” scratch if you pressed too hard when using these. It possibly could scratch softer metals like aluminum, but all of my aluminum is already scratched so it doesn’t matter. I rubbed it on my stainless steel knives and it doesn’t show any new marks, and my knives already bear marks from being sharpened so it wouldn’t be a big deal there. I haven’t used it on my stainless steel All-Clad yet, but the inside of All-Clad already has a brushed appearance so it wouldn’t show anyway, although I don’t see why I’d use it on the outside since that part doesn’t really get very dirty from cooking. These are for scrubbing the big messes, they aren’t meant to be used as a everyday dishcloth for washi all of your dishes. This Skoy is more for when you need to pull out the big guns kind of messes. Cleaning the Skoy has been easy so far. I put it into the dishwasher which dissolves any food particles that might get stuck in the loops. I installed a little 3M Command hook on the wall to hang it up and be out of the way when it in use and to allow it to dry. I bought several and gave a few as gifts too.

These are great scrubbies for cleaning stuck on food even if it has sat overnight. I've been using them for a few years now and pair them with the swedish dish cloths. I'm kind of OCD about this, but I always give my dishes a good scrub/rinse before putting into the Dishwasher. I then put the scrubbie into the DW as well and they hold up very well for several weeks of daily use. They are made in Poland, so I also like that I am supporting a country that is right in the middle of the Ukraine mess.

These are the best scrubbers I have ever used-and I am old enough to have used SOS pads! They will get the most baked on food off all of my favorite cookware-cast iron, Pyrex, enamel, or crockery with NO SCRATCHING. Something’s may need a little more elbow grease than others but these will safely get it off and they last for years. You will love them and they make great gifts!

These Skoy Scrub dish cloths are awesome! They tackle grease and stuck-on food like a pro, but don’t scratch my non-stick pans at all. After cooking, my pans stay smooth and clean—no burnt-on mess, and no weird chemical smell from the cloths. I bought a 4-pack and I’m still on my first one—it’s super durable. They might feel a little pricey at first, but honestly, they last forever and make cleaning way easier. If you hate spending forever scrubbing your pans, these are a total game-changer!

The skoy scrubs are so good. They clean very well without scratching, and are eco friendly. But I was very disappointed to see that they were delivered extremely wastefully in bubble wrap. The irony of selling eco friendly sponges in bubble wrap. Hope the seller takes note of this.

Good alternative to ordinary scourers that leave harmful micro plastics in the water after use.
