A scouring pad is a cleaning tool designed to remove grease, stains, food residue, and surface buildup from cookware, kitchen surfaces, floors, equipment, and various hard materials. It is widely used in household cleaning as well as commercial environments such as restaurants, hotels, and industrial facilities.
As a manufacturer of cleaning tools, PINCO produces multiple types of scouring pads, including non-woven pads, Sponge-and-abrasive combinations, heavy-duty scrubbers, and metal scourers, each designed for different cleaning requirements.
Most scouring pads are created using a web of synthetic fibers—commonly polyester or nylon—that are bonded together to form a durable, flexible sheet. This structure allows the pad to bend and conform to surfaces while maintaining strength during scrubbing.
Abrasive minerals such as silicon carbide or aluminum oxide may be added to enhance scrubbing power. These grains help cut through tough deposits without excessive force.
Water-based or resin adhesives secure the fibers and abrasives, improving durability and reducing fiber shedding. PINCO uses controlled bonding systems for strong adhesion and safe handling.
Soft non-scratch pads for delicate surfaces
Medium pads for general cleaning
Heavy-duty pads for burnt-on residue
Metal scourers for high-intensity cleaning
Sponge-back pads for improved grip and absorption
The fibers and abrasive grains work together to scrub away unwanted buildup. When pressure is applied, the abrasive points create small frictional contacts with the surface, breaking down residues without damaging the base material when the correct pad is chosen.
The open fiber network captures loosened food particles, grease, and debris. This design prevents smearing and allows the pad to rinse clean quickly, ready for repeated use.
The density and stiffness of the fibers affect how aggressive the pad is. For example:
Soft pads work gently on coated cookware and stainless-steel appliances.
Heavy pads provide strong force for grills, ovens, and industrial equipment.
PINCO manufactures pads in multiple grades to match different cleaning difficulty levels.
From kitchen pots to industrial surfaces, scouring pads adapt to a wide range of applications.
Their durable structure allows repeated use without collapsing or deforming.
The open-web design prevents residues from embedding deeply, making rinsing fast and hygienic.
Even heavy-duty pads remain light, flexible, and comfortable for users.
PINCO’s product line includes options for home kitchens, restaurant environments, and industrial maintenance.
Use fine fibers with no harsh minerals.
Ideal for glass, ceramic, stainless steel appliances, and non-stick cookware.
Contain medium-grade abrasives for daily cleaning tasks such as removing dried food, soap scum, or grease.
Use thicker fibers and coarse abrasives for intense scrubbing jobs such as ovens, cast iron pans, or floors.
Made from stainless steel or coiled metal wire.
Designed for removing carbonized residue, burnt layers, and industrial deposits.
Combine absorption with scrubbing ability.
Useful for dishwashing where wiping and scrubbing are required in one tool.
A scouring pad offers an efficient balance between abrasion and control. It can remove tough stains without requiring excessive effort or chemical cleaners.
With modern manufacturing techniques and material improvements, companies like PINCO produce pads that offer better durability, controlled texture, and safer adhesive systems for both consumer and commercial markets.
A scouring pad is a versatile cleaning tool made from bonded fibers and, in some cases, abrasive grains that provide effective scrubbing power. It works by mechanically loosening and removing dirt, grease, and buildup from various surfaces.
Whether used in household kitchens or commercial cleaning environments, scouring pads remain essential for efficient, reliable cleaning. With a diverse product range and strong production capabilities, PINCO supports global buyers looking for high-quality, durable, and safe scouring solutions.
