Great value and quality

Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2023

We love using this for Window Cleaning. I’ve made the the mistake of using 000 steel wool and this sets you up for lots of scratched glass because it has more abrasiveness than the glass. This product is great because it is really fine and soft and you can easily massage the product into whatever debris is on the glass and remove it so it is spot free and scratch free. I like to do it in circular motions, and always have the glass wet to decrease the chances of scratches. If you’re working on your own house, usually you can get away with just two maybe three steel wool pads/time. You should use it with other things like chemical to breakdown, hard water if needed or a window scraper as needed. The stable pads don’t have much use after a day because they begin to rust. If you do use it past the day, make sure that you move anything that appears to be rusty and shake it out really well. The downside of it is that since it is rust, it does tend to stain really well and so be really cautious when using it for window cleaning, because many windows have white vinyl and it shows really easily on the vinyl and it’s hard to get off once it sits there for a while so you’ll want to make sure that you clean up the frame really well After if you’re using Rusty still. My opinion is it’s not worth it to use Rusty steel wool

An Alternative Method for Removal of Hard Water Stains on Glass

Reviewed in the United States on June 6, 2024

I have struggled with terrible hard water stains on my house windows and car windows for decades and tried every product on the market without much success. In desperation, I even tried 3M Scotch Brite pads and RUINED a car window with extreme scratching that turned it into frosted glass!

Make no mistake, it takes a whole lot of effort and hard work to remove serious hard water deposits. Many products claim to work but do very little, and some only mask the stains temporarily with waxes. Furthermore, every product requires substantial pressure and lots of scrubbing. A heavy buildup can take an eternity to remove. It is tempting to use abrasives, but they WILL scratch glass!

This 0000-grade steel wool removes mineral deposits from glass fairly quickly and effectively. But if you have years of heavy build-up, it's still going to take hard work to get it all off. I had a sprinkler system watering my windows twice a week for years, and that level of build-up is pretty severe, but it was still possible to remove with this wool and lots of scrubbing. However, note that this wool may leave extremely fine scratches that might only be detectable when the sun's rays are almost parallel to the surface.

Cerium Oxide is a glass polish that can remove fine scratches and mineral deposits extremely well, but it takes so much time and hard, messy work to remove heavy deposits. This 0000-grade steel wool gets the deposits off more quickly, and Cerium Oxide can polish out any microscopic scratches that may be left... if you're even able to detect them. (Cerium Oxide was able to resurrect the car window that I ruined, but it took many hours of exhausting machine-polishing).

It works great, but it is messy.

I use it for cleaning almost everything. It works, but it is so messy.

NAVY MAN

Reviewed in the United States on October 6, 2024

As someone who has used Homax 10120000 Steel Wool since my days in the Navy, I can confidently say this product has never failed me in over 30 years. Whether cleaning brass or achieving a smooth final finish on various surfaces, these Grade #0000 steel wool pads are a reliable and versatile tool.

The ultra-fine texture makes them perfect for delicate polishing, buffing, or removing small imperfections without scratching the surface. The pads are durable and long-lasting, making them an excellent value for any cleaning or finishing job. Over the decades, they have maintained their high quality, and I’ve never found a better alternative for achieving that perfect final finish.

Rating: 5/5 Stars

For over 30 years, this product has been my go-to for polishing brass and other surfaces. If you need consistent, high-quality steel wool, look no further—this is the best you can get!

A magic eraser!

Reviewed in the United States on September 30, 2024

We recently moved into our home and we needed steel wool to help around with a few stubborn tasks. We specifically used this product to clean the heavy grime in our oven, and the rust on some of our knives and cast iron skillet. These pads are like magic erasers and did their job effectively. I highly recommend them! Note that there are a couple of things that happen when using steel wool that can be annoying/unexpected but are normal.

1) These pads shed. So when I cleaned our oven there was some residual pieces from the pad on the surface but it was an easy wipe down with a paper towel. Again, this is normal and I didn't mind this at all since the steel wool got rid of all of the grime.
2) They do rust if you use water with them. This was something I didn't expect but it is common for steel wool to rust. After a day or two the pad became rusty and it had to be discarded. Again, this was fine since the cleaning jobs got done.

Again, I highly recommend this product.

Great for 'polishing' metal

Reviewed in the United States on August 25, 2024

I like to keep steel wool around the house for little jobs here and there.

Years ago, I once refinished a set of old dining room chairs I found at a flea market when I was in to old furniture refurbishing back in the day. I used this brand of steel wool. These were old ice cream shop chairs that had metal backs and legs that were rusted and marred. I scrubbed at that metal with the extra fine and it took off the mars and the rust beautifully without scratching the metal. I was impressed!

I've cleaned other metal with these. Really does remove a lot of old rust without scratching. I've cleaned off old tools and some of them were all shiny and nice again, though I don't mind my tools looking worn and used - guess I was bored that day - ha!

Price is reasonable.

Happy with my order.
