The Ultimate Guide to Choosing the Right Scouring Pad for Every Cleaning Task

Here at The Giro Company we know the tools make the difference in cleaning! Whether scrubbing pots, fragile surfaces, or heavy-duty messes– pick a scouring pad that will help you do the job efficiently (and safely).
With our years of experience in supplying top-notch cleaning products to our customers, we have compiled an ultimate guide that will help you in choosing the ideal scouring pad for your cleaning requirements.
What is a Scouring Pad?
Scouring pad is an abrasive cleaning tool to clean away dirt, grime, and stains. Not all pads are suitable for all surfaces — and if you get it wrong, you can ruin your things. Here at The Giro Company we stock many test, proven and recommended top rated scouring pads to suit your daily need of durability, efficiency, and safe on many surfaces.
Types of Scouring Pads
Heavy-Duty Scouring Pads
Best For: Pots, pans, oven, grill, cast iron
Features: Thick, abrasive for tough on messes
Tip: do not use on nonstick cookware (will scratch)
Medium-Duty Scouring Pads
Ideal for: Sinks, countertops, the top of your stovetop and bathroom tiles.
Features: Simply powerful & tough enough to cut through grime but safe enough for the surfaces you clean every day
Gentle and Non-Scratching Scouring Pads
Ideal for: Non-stick cookware, glass, ceramics, and stainless steel.
Features: A gentle abrasive material that allows for scratch-free cleaning.
Eco-Friendly Scouring Pads
Ideal for: environmentally friendly homes that free of the synthetic materials but need to be cleaned.
Benefits: They are manufactured from natural materials and are designed for compost-ability and biodegradability.
Tips For Picking The Right Scouring Pad
And, choosing the right scouring pad comes down to:
Surface Sensitivity: Never use a pad that is harsher than you need for the surface.
Nature of the Dirt: Dense dirt requires a more gritty pad; simple day-to-day dirt demands a gentler massage.
Usage frequency: If you plan on using the pads often, then buy good quality, washable pads that last for longer.
Here at The Giro Company, we recommend keeping a few different scouring pads on hand so that you can tackle any cleaning job that comes your way without damaging your surfaces.
