What are Scrubby Pads made of?Updated 6 days ago

TL;DR: Scrubby Pads have a dual-texture microfibre shell (91% polyester, 9% polyamide) wrapped around a soft PU-foam sponge core. The microfibre side wipes and polishes streak-free, the textured side scrubs grime without scratching, and the foam core holds liquid so you can scrub longer before re-wetting. Not kerbside recyclable. Maximise lifespan by rinsing after use, line drying, and washing separately at up to 30 degrees with no bleach or softeners.

What are Scrubby Pads made of?

Two materials. The outer shell is microfibre (91% polyester, 9% polyamide) in a dual-texture weave: the microfibre side wipes and polishes for a streak-free finish, while the textured side scrubs grime without scratching. Inside, a soft PU-foam sponge core adds absorbency, holding liquid so you can scrub longer before re-wetting and conforming to curved surfaces like taps and handles.

Sponge core

Polyurethane (PU) foam. Adds absorbency, holding liquid so you can scrub longer before re-wetting. Soft enough to conform to curved surfaces like taps and handles without losing structure.

Can Scrubby Pads be recycled?

⚠ Not kerbside recyclable

The mixed microfibre and PU-foam construction isn't accepted in most kerbside programs. Check specialty recyclers like TerraCycle, resmart.co, local drop-offs for mixed-material textiles.

✓ Maximise lifespan

Rinse thoroughly after each use and line dry standing on edge. When the pad looks dull, wash it separately at up to 30 degrees with a mild detergent and no bleach or softeners. The longer each pad lasts, the less waste overall.
