It is what else is added that makes different grades of SS.
Some remain magnetic.
Myles advice on cleaning it is good.

I never had an issue with the spontex stainless scrubbers and used them for years.
I would boil them with washing up liquid to get rid of the cutting oil and then put them in the dishwasher on a 70 degree wash.

Never had a problem after that - but perhaps the new ones are not the same. Don't know.

I currently use pumice (lava rock) gravel as a packing but it is just to try something different. The stainless scrubbers are very good.

Where’s that? What about shopping though? That’s always a killer

I bought some spontex stainless scrubbers but they’re A) magnetic, B) leave a grey residue on your hands after you handle them and C) when I look at the packaging it says they’re made from recycled stainless steel. I’ve tried boiling them and cleaning them with washing up liquid and still the grey residue remains so I’m not at all confident using them.
I’ve got some wilko scrubbers here too but they’re also magnetic but don’t leave any residue.
Can anyone recommend a brand they’ve had success with or a different packing option that’s not expensive?

Thanks
Chris
