Behind the brand.
This dossier covers Scotch-Brite consumer cleaning tools from 3M, including kitchen sponges and scourers, bathroom tools and lint rollers; 3M also uses Scotch-Brite for separate industrial abrasives. Abrasiveness varies substantially: 'heavy duty' and 'non-scratch' are not interchangeable, and even a zero-scratch product can exclude named surfaces. Users should follow the exact surface list, test inconspicuously and use any cleaning chemicals according to their labels.
