Product Information
Full details
The Leecroft Copper Plated Scourer is designed for home cooks and cleaning enthusiasts who need a heavy-duty solution for stubborn messes on delicate, polished surfaces. By utilizing the softness of copper, this tool effectively scrubs away burnt-on food and grease from enamel, ceramic, and chrome without causing unsightly scratches. While it is incredibly efficient at restoring shine, users should note that the copper material can eventually wear down over time with heavy usage and requires proper drying to maintain its integrity.

FAQs
Can I use this on non-stick pans?
It is not recommended. Even though copper is soft, consistent scrubbing can damage the specialized non-stick coating.
Will it rust?
Copper does not rust in the way iron does, but it can tarnish or oxidize if left wet for extended periods.
How do I know when to throw it away?
Replace the scourer when the copper plating has visibly worn away or the structure of the mesh begins to unravel.
Is it safe for stainless steel sinks?
Yes, it is excellent for cleaning stainless steel sinks and will help restore a bright, polished finish.
Should I use it dry or wet?
Always use the scourer wet to act as a lubricant, which prevents scratching and helps lift debris more effectively.
Troubleshooting
Scourer is leaving metallic dust on the surface
This is a sign the copper plating is wearing thin; rinse the item thoroughly and consider replacing the scourer.
Stubborn grease is not coming off
Apply a degreasing dish soap and let the surface soak for five minutes before scrubbing again with the copper scourer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Leecroft scourer, simply rinse it under warm water to soften the fibers. It is compatible with most hard surfaces, including stainless steel, ceramic, enamel, and glass.
Care Instructions:
- After Use: Always rinse the scourer thoroughly to remove trapped food particles and soap residue.
- Drying: Shake off excess water and store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent oxidation and extend the life of the metal.
- Maintenance: Do not use with harsh acidic or bleach-based cleaning chemicals, as these can react with the copper plating and lead to rapid degradation.
