You've tried everything.
The black stuff stays.
- You left the pot soaking overnight. In the morning it's exactly the same — just wetter.
- Steel wool shreds, rusts in a day and leaves grey bits everywhere.
- The oven spray stinks out the whole house and you still have to scrub.
- You've quietly binned a perfectly good pan because the bottom looked ruined.
- End of lease is coming and the oven tray alone could cost you part of your bond.
It's not you. It's your sponge. A normal scourer is too soft for carbonised grease. SPONJ's diamond-grit side is built for exactly that.
Wet. Rub. Rinse.
Two sides, two jobs. The brown side cuts through what's burnt on. The black side does the everyday washing.
Wet the pad
Just water. Add a drop of dish soap if it's oily. No sprays, no gloves, no ventilation needed.
Rub the brown side
Light pressure, small circles. The fine diamond grit grinds off carbon and crust instead of smearing it around.
Rinse & look
The shine that was hiding under there is back. Rinse the pad, let it air-dry, use it again tomorrow.
Two layers.
Two jobs.
The brown face is a fine diamond-grit abrasive: it shears baked-on carbon off the metal instead of sliding over it. The black face is a high-density sponge for the everyday washing-up. Bonded together so the pad doesn't peel apart in your hand.
- 1. Diamond-grit layer — cuts burnt-on carbon
- 2. Bonded core — won't peel apart
- 3. High-density sponge — grip & everyday washing
What it's for. What it's not.
It's abrasive on purpose — that's why it works. So here's exactly where to use it.
✅ Use the brown side on
- Stainless pots
- Pan bottoms
- Cast iron
- Oven trays
- Gratin dishes
- Glass oven doors
- BBQ grill plates
- Air fryer metal racks
- Stainless sinks
- Ceramic mugs
❌ Never on
- Non-stick pans
- Non-stick air fryer baskets
- Induction cooktops
- Ceramic cooktops
- Polished appliances
- Painted surfaces
- Car paint
Most air fryer baskets are coated — use the pad on bare metal racks and crisper trays only, and the soft microfiber sponge on anything coated.

Before you ask…
Will it scratch my pans?
It's abrasive on purpose — that's why it works. Use the brown side on stainless pots and pan bottoms, cast iron, enamelled oven trays, glass oven doors, BBQ plates and stainless sinks (test a small hidden spot first on anything you're unsure about). Never use it on non-stick, induction/ceramic cooktops, brushed or polished appliances, or paint — use the black sponge side, or the soft microfiber sponges from the Sponge Pack, there.
Will it help me get my bond back?
It's made for the parts inspections usually flag: baked-on oven trays and racks, the glass oven door, the cooktop surrounds (not the glass cooktop itself), stainless sinks and taps. We can't promise what your property manager will say — but you won't be handing over $100+ for an oven clean you could do in an afternoon.
Do I need any cleaning product?
No. Wet the pad well — water is enough for most burnt-on carbon and rust. A drop of dish soap helps with oily mess. Using it dry wears the pad out fast.
How long does one pad last?
The grit wears as it works, so heavy jobs use a pad faster. With everyday cooking, a pad usually lasts a few weeks — which is why the Buy 2 Get 1 and Buy 3 Get 2 offers make sense.
Can I use it on the BBQ?
Yes, on cast iron and stainless grill plates and grates once they've cooled. Never on a hot surface.
Which offer should I get?
Just curious? 1 pad. One for the pots, one for the oven, one spare? Buy 2, Get 1 Free. Moving out, deep clean or sharing with family? Buy 3, Get 2 Free — and add the Sponge Pack if you've got non-stick pans.
Will everything arrive together?
We pack and ship your order together in one parcel whenever possible. If it's ever split, you'll get a tracking link for each parcel by email.
How long is shipping?
Free tracked shipping Australia-wide. Processed in 1–3 business days, usually delivered 6–12 business days after dispatch.
