Spontex Tough Scourers

Their invention has precluded the need for old-fashioned steel-wool, providing a handy tool for the handyman or woman who needs to prepare an area for priming and painting. In addition their use can be far more subtle, with a light tough the only prerequisite to remove grease and stubborn stains from painted surfaces. Attempt this job with steel wool or even good old ‘Brillo pads’ and you’ll have ‘bald’ spots on your walls and other prised surfaces. In addition, this little ball of metal does not rust like its steel wool predecessor ...  Read the complete review
