Wet the pad. Rub the brown diamond-grit side on the burnt spot with light pressure — let the grit do the work. Rinse. Use the black sponge side for everyday washing. Rinse and air-dry the pad after use; with everyday cooking a pad usually lasts 60 days.
Works on: stainless steel pots and pan bottoms, cast iron, oven trays, gratin dishes, glass oven doors, BBQ grill plates, bare-metal air fryer racks, stainless sinks, ceramic mugs with tea stains, taps with limescale.
Not for: non-stick pans, non-stick air fryer baskets, induction / ceramic cooktops, brushed or polished stainless appliances, painted or coated surfaces, cars.

A burnt pot, an air fryer basket, a stained pot lid, a scorched gratin dish. Wet the pad, rub the brown side, rinse. No sprays, no soaking overnight.
Fine diamond grit grinds off crust instead of smearing it around.
Water does the work. A drop of dish soap if it's oily.
Squeeze it out, stand it up to dry, use it again tomorrow.

Real people, real burnt pans. Here's what customers send us after a fortnight.

In actionLasagne dish I was about to throw out. Half done in the time it took the kettle to boil. Sent this pic to my sister.
Verified buyerOK I'm sold. Whole pan bright again, no chemicals, no fumes, no elbow grease. Ordering a second kit for the caravan.
Verified buyerBaked-on cheese off my BBQ grill in a few minutes. Way less effort than steel wool. Sunday sesh sorted.
Verified buyerOne pad, whole kitchen. Feels rock solid and doesn't slime up after a week like the supermarket ones. Month in and still firm.
Just landedJust arrived. Bigger than I thought, brown side feels like sandpaper, black side softer. Doing the burnt pan tonight — will update.
The blue microfibre add-on is a game-changer for the black glass cooktop — no streaks, no smell after a fortnight.
Sceptical when I ordered. Cleaned burnt sugar off my saucepan in two minutes with just water. Ordering more for the caravan.
Really good on the oven trays and BBQ. Doesn't do miracles on old scratched non-stick, but that's fair enough.
The microfibre sponge is a game-changer for the humidity — stainless fridge doesn't get streaks anymore.
Bare-metal air fryer basket, six months of caked grease. Warm water + the brown side, four minutes. Photo doesn't even do it justice.
Bought it for the caravan. Ended up using it on the induction cooktop first — brown side dry, black side wet, no scratches.
Two sides, two jobs. The brown side cuts through what's burnt on. The black side does the everyday washing.
Just water. Add a drop of dish soap if it's oily. No sprays, no gloves, no ventilation needed.
Light pressure, small circles. The fine diamond grit grinds off carbon and crust instead of smearing it around.
The shine that was hiding under there is back. Rinse the pad, let it air-dry, use it again tomorrow.

Cheap green scourers use silica grit (Mohs 6-7). It crumbles on the first burnt pan and leaves you scrubbing for 15 minutes. SPONJ is bonded with diamond-grade abrasive micro-crystals (Mohs 9-10) — the same hardness class industrial workshops use to cut steel. That's why 30 seconds beats 15 minutes.
Each maroon-brown crystal is fused to the surface — they can't fall off mid-scrub like a green scourer.
Same abrasive class used to polish gemstones and machine tool steel. Only diamond scratches diamond.
Just water and friction. No degreaser, no baking soda paste, no oven-cleaner fumes near the kids.
Where a green scourer dies in 3 burnt pans, one SPONJ handles an average family kitchen for 2 months.
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.

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.

It's abrasive on purpose — that's why it works. So here's exactly where to use it.
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.
| SPONJ | Steel wool | Oven spray | New pot | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lifts burnt-on carbon | Yes | With effort | Partly | — |
| Chemical fumes | None | None | Strong | — |
| Rusts / sheds bits | No | Yes | No | — |
| Doubles as a dish sponge | Yes | No | No | — |
| Cost | from $8.97 / pad | ~$4 / pack | ~$10–15 / can | $40–150 |
Competitor prices are typical Australian supermarket prices and will vary.
Try SPONJ on the worst pot in your cupboard. If it doesn't shift the burnt-on grime it's made for, email us a photo within 30 days of delivery and we'll refund you. No awkward back-and-forth. This comes on top of your rights under Australian Consumer Law.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Yes, on cast iron and stainless grill plates and grates once they've cooled. Never on a hot surface.
