Inventor of the original scouring pad releases a whole new dimension of clean with all-new, double-duty cleaning solution for the food service industry
Scrubbing pots and pans can be a grueling task. Now, kitchen aids can cut back on the elbow grease with the new Scotch-Brite Dual Purpose Scour Pad 96Hex from 3M. Its new, hexagonal shape is long lasting and user friendly, featuring a yellow side with the latest in scouring technology, and a grey side that polishes away fine particles and grease.
“When you use Scotch-Brite Dual Purpose Scour Pad 96Hex pad, you can battle a pile of pots and pans faster and more comfortably,” said Tracy Lezizidis, Marketing Manager, 3M Cleaning and Workplace Safety. “This powerful, medium duty scouring pad will become your cleaning weapon of choice.”
Its greatest innovation is in the raised power dots on the yellow side. The surface pattern of the power dots was engineered to quickly and effectively cut through stubborn, baked- or burned-on food five times faster than non-3M competitive medium duty scouring pads. It’s also designed to be more durable and retain its full scouring power through repeated uses. The yellow side has a special treatment that prevents particles of food from getting trapped on the web, allowing them to be rinsed away easily. The smooth gray side scours away fine food particles and leaves a shiny surface.
The hexagon design of the pad is more ergonomic and functional. With two additional edges than the traditional rectangle shape, it offers more corners to get in and clean the hard-to-reach areas of pots and pans. Additionally, the ergonomic hexagon shape fits comfortably in the hand, maximizing productivity and minimizing user fatigue.
The Scotch-Brite Dual Purpose Scour Pad 96Hex is designed for medium duty general purpose cleaning including: aluminum pots and pans, cooking appliances and utensils, and kitchen and maintenance equipment.
In 1958, Scotch-Brite introduced the first scouring hand pad to the food service industry. The Scotch-Brite Dual Purpose Scour Pad 96Hex is the latest innovation from 3M Commercial Solutions Division. Recognized and respected as a leading food service solutions provider for more than 50 years, 3M continues to be a trusted brand in food service cleaning tools, utilizing technology to help improve the operational efficiency and performance of quick-service restaurants.
