Scotch-Brite S.O.S Steel Wool Soap Pads 50-Count — Pre-Soaped Heavy-Duty Pads with Rust Inhibitor

Scotch-Brite S.O.S 98014 Steel Wool Soap Pads are pre-soaped, heavy-duty steel wool pads designed to remove baked-on grease, rust, and stubborn stains on cookware and household surfaces.

Built for heavy cleaning tasks, these pads combine durable steel wool filaments with a long-lasting soap formula to cut through grime without requiring separate cleaners. The pads are formulated with rust inhibitors and biodegradable cleaning agents to help extend pad life while addressing tough messes on pots, pans, grills, and other metal or heat-tolerant surfaces. They’re a common choice for homeowners and professionals who need a compact, effective scrubbing solution for baked-on food, rust spots, and sticky residues.

How do these pads clean baked-on food and hardened grease?

The steel wool fibers provide abrasive action to physically break up and lift caked-on residue while the embedded soap softens and emulsifies grease. This combination reduces the amount of elbow grease and often eliminates the need for liquid detergents.

• Steel wool filament penetrates crevices and rough surfaces.
• Pre-soaped formulation helps dissolve oils and grime during scrubbing.
• Effective on ovens, cookie sheets, broilers, and heavy cookware.

What surfaces and items are safe to clean with S.O.S pads?

These pads are intended for use on hard, heat-tolerant surfaces where abrasive action is acceptable—primarily metal cookware and barbecue grates. Avoid using them on delicate, nonstick, or easily scratched surfaces.

• Good for stainless steel pots, cast-iron skillets, and chrome finishes.
• Suitable for grills, tools, and rusted hardware with persistent oxidation.
• Not recommended for nonstick coatings, polished silver, or soft plastics.

How long do the soap pads last and what is in the soap?

Longevity depends on the severity of cleaning jobs; tougher messes will wear pads faster. The soap mix contains biodegradable detergents, preservatives, rust inhibitors, and a pH buffer to support cleaning power and help reduce oxidation during use.

• Each pad offers concentrated soap so fewer replacements are often needed.
• Rust inhibitors help slow corrosion of the pad itself during use.
• Biodegradable components for easier rinsing away of residues.

How should I use and store the pads for best results?

Use moderate pressure while scrubbing and rinse surfaces thoroughly after cleaning to remove loosened debris. After use, squeeze out excess water and store pads in a dry place to help prevent premature rusting and extend usability.

• Wet the pad slightly to activate the soap before scrubbing.
• Rinse thoroughly after cleaning to remove soap and particles.
• Air-dry in a ventilated area; avoid sealed damp storage.
