I came up with this nylon scrubbie, Ive been making them for ages, so much so that one day hubbie mentioned where did I get them, he uses it for the metal rims of his car wheels,( boys will be boys) he needed some more. There are very strong and durable they really can clean burnt and scalded pans.(Please note, you must of course soak pan for awhile, ) They have the correct abrasive qualities but are kind to your pots and pans, and your hands,which lets face as crocheters and knitters our hands are vital.
