Did you know that there are two kinds of ScotchBrite scouring pads and that one is "Heavy Duty" and will scratch glass??!!

In the 90's I'd use the green "No Name" scouring pads for years on a FW 90 I had. No problem. Then switched to ScotchBrite, one day, 'cause the "No Names" were sold out. Got the green one 'cause that is what I always used. Green. Over time, scratches started appearing on the inside of the glass, but I just thought it was me getting bits of gravel stuck between the glass and the pad when I scrubbed down low, below the gravel line. I thought it was the gravel bits scratching the glass. So I made a mental note to be more careful not to get gravel bits stuck between the pad and the glass. But it just kept getting worse. More and more scratches. Finally, I clued in to check the packaging next time I was at the grocery store. Sure enough..."Heavy Duty" "Will Scratch Glass". And there's the blue ones, right beside them that says "Ideal For Glass".
Did you know? I do!

Cheers,
