The ZIF shaped scouring sponge is a professional double-sided sponge for heavy-duty kitchen cleaning, supplied in a convenient pack of 50 pieces. It pairs a soft polyurethane sponge for lathering with a coarse green abrasive fibre of medium-to-high intensity that removes burnt-on residue and limescale from pots, grills and stainless steel. The shaped 13.7 x 10 x 4 cm body has an ergonomic grip recess for a firm, safe hold during prolonged use.
What it is
A scouring sponge combines two bonded layers: an open-cell polyurethane sponge that absorbs water and detergent, and a synthetic abrasive fibre web that mechanically lifts hardened dirt. The green colour code conventionally identifies a high-intensity, non-delicate abrasive intended for resistant surfaces. ZIF supplies this format shaped, with a moulded recess that protects the fingers and improves grip even when wet.
Characteristics
The coarse green fibre tackles carbonised grease, food crusts and oxidation that a normal cloth cannot remove, while the polyurethane backing holds foam and eases rinsing. Working dry or with detergent, it shortens washing cycles and keeps a consistent abrasive action until the fibre is worn. Each piece is independent, so a pack of 50 covers weeks of intensive service.
Professional uses
Designed for the Horeca sector, it is used to scrub pots and pans, clean grills and griddle plates, descale stainless-steel surfaces, degrease cookers and stovetops, and prepare equipment for sanitising. It works on resistant, non-coated surfaces; for delicate or non-stick coatings a softer non-scratch pad should be preferred.
Pairings
Use it together with a professional degreaser such as our lemon sanitising spray or the Extra Pul universal degreaser to dissolve grease before scrubbing, a 12 L bucket with wringer for floor and large-surface work, and a synthetic mop refill for complete kitchen cleaning routines.
