Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.
To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyzed reviews to verify trustworthiness.

A stainless steel scrubber is essential for maintaining cast iron pans. It removes food debris and charred food without destroying the built-up layer of patina that makes the pan non-stick. These Hometeq scrubbers were the best deal I could find, and they work very well.
Couldn't find in stores anymore. These are the BEST scrubbers (copper ones are junk) and last really long. Takes out crud easily, great for cast iron. Not for glass tops of course, just heavy duty scrubbing.
These scrubbers looked nice and shiny when they arrived, but the first one I used started rusting within a day or so of using it. I have procrastinated in writing this review, but found the other two scrubbers still in their plastic bag and they are degenerating just sitting in the bag! I did finally find actual stainless steel scrubbers elsewhere (Lola brand) and they are not rusting at all - even after several uses.
In contrast to my previous scrubber which lasted months, this one started to rust right after few days of use and its breaking ..and the rust is so intense that its turning my sink to orange color..yikes...save your money and buy a quality scrubber from a local store ..cheaply made and inferior quality...
I love these as they get the stubborn bits of food out of my pans. The best thing about them is that unlike the other scrubbers, these do not rust. I have run them through the dishwasher to clean them. They come out looking new.
