Scouring Pads are designed for different cleaning needs, and choosing the wrong type can either damage surfaces or fail to remove tough residue. Non-scratch pads and heavy-duty pads represent two ends of the cleaning-performance spectrum.
As a manufacturer supplying both household and commercial cleaning tools, PINCO produces scouring pads in multiple grades to match various surfaces, stain levels, and usage environments.
Designed to clean without damaging sensitive surfaces, non-scratch pads use softer fibers and low-abrasive or non-abrasive materials. They offer safe cleaning for everyday tasks.
Heavy-duty pads use coarse fibers and strong abrasive minerals designed to remove stubborn, baked-on, or industrial-level buildup. They focus on maximum cleaning strength rather than surface gentleness.
Non-scratch pads: Use soft nylon or polyester fibers.
Heavy-duty pads: Use denser, stiffer fibers that provide more friction and structural strength.
Non-scratch pads: Often contain no abrasive or use extremely mild grains.
Heavy-duty pads: Incorporate coarse abrasives such as aluminum oxide or silicon carbide for aggressive scrubbing.
Heavy-duty pads require stronger bonding systems to secure abrasive grains, while non-scratch pads rely on lighter bonding for flexibility and smooth cleaning.
PINCO applies controlled adhesive technology to ensure proper bonding strength across both pad types.

They provide the aggressive scrubbing required for heavy buildup.
Use light friction and flexible fibers to lift dirt gently.
They rely more on wiping action than abrasive cutting.
Use strong friction combined with abrasive micro-cutting action.
Abrasive minerals break down hardened layers quickly and effectively.
Last long when used on soft surfaces
Maintain texture with gentle use
Designed for daily kitchen cleaning
Extremely durable under intense scrubbing
Resist flattening and wear
Suitable for commercial or industrial use
PINCO produces pads in each category to support both home kitchens and professional cleaning environments.
Safe for delicate surfaces but not effective for extremely tough stains.
Highly effective but can damage polished, coated, or soft surfaces if misused.
Choosing the right pad protects both the surface and the cleaning tool.
Many buyers use color distinctions to quickly recognize pad types:
Light blue or white: Non-scratch pads
Green or dark-colored: Medium or heavy-duty pads
This helps households and commercial cleaning teams avoid using the wrong pad for the wrong task.
Non-scratch and heavy-duty scouring pads differ in fiber composition, abrasive strength, cleaning mechanism, and suitable applications. Non-scratch pads prioritize surface protection, while heavy-duty pads deliver maximum scrubbing power for stubborn stains and industrial cleaning.
With a full range of materials, abrasives, and bonding technologies, PINCO provides scouring pads tailored to light household cleaning as well as demanding commercial and industrial environments.
