All-purpose cleaning pad scours without scratching so it's safe for Silverstone & Teflon-coated cookware. Use in kitchens, bathrooms & automobiles & on carpets, clothing & hands. Design makes it easy to hold for nonscratch cleaning. The yellow polyurethane core of the Dobie helps your soap lather while supporting the mesh. The main point of difference in this yellow-urethane cleaning tool is the unique combination of slit film & fiber interwoven into mesh that “grabs” food & dirt & pulls it away.
