What are Scrubby Pads made of?Updated 4 hours ago

TL;DR: Scrubby Pads use a dual-texture microfibre shell (91% polyester, 9% polyamide) wrapped around a soft PU-foam sponge core. Polyester lifts grime and polishes streak-free. Polyamide improves grip on greasy films. The PU foam stores liquid so you can scrub longer before re-wetting. Not kerbside recyclable. Maximise lifespan by rinsing after use, air-drying, and machine-washing at up to 30 degrees.

What are Scrubby Pads made of?

Two materials. The outer shell is microfibre: 91% polyester, 9% polyamide in a dual-texture weave. The polyester-rich blend lifts grime and polishes streak-free. The polyamide improves grip on greasy films and gives the scrub face its cleaning power. Inside, a soft PU-foam sponge core stores liquid so you can scrub longer before re-wetting, and conforms to curved surfaces like taps and handles without losing structure.

Can Scrubby Pads be recycled?

Not through kerbside recycling. Mixed microfibre and PU-foam construction isn't accepted by most council collection programs. Check specialty recyclers like TerraCycle for mixed-material textiles. The best environmental move is lifespan extension: rinse thoroughly after each use, air-dry standing on edge, and machine-wash at up to 30 degrees with Sensitive Laundry Liquid inside a washing bag when the pad looks dull.

✓ Maximise lifespan

Rinse thoroughly after each use and air-dry standing on edge. Machine-wash at up to 30 degrees with Sensitive Laundry Liquid or Sensitive Laundry Sheets inside a washing bag when the pad looks dull. The longer each pad lasts, the less waste overall.
