S.O.S® steel wool pads were invented by a cooking utensil salesman in San Francisco, California, in 1917. Nearly 100 years later, his pre-soaped steel wool pads remain the No. 1 problem-solving sponge for the greasiest, grimiest, grungiest cleaning jobs.
S.O.S® steel wool pads and sponges, and Tuffy™ dishwashing pads, muscle through the toughest messes.
Baked-on grease? Bathroom scum? BBQ grill residue? They're no match for the versatile scouring power of the S.O.S® brand, the ultimate grime fighter.
Fun Facts
- S.O.S® stands for "Save Our Saucepans." The name is a play on the international distress signal, "SOS". Because the distress signal cannot be copyrighted, the final period was dropped on the brand name of the soap pad.
- Take S.O.S® pads outside to get steel golf clubs, grills and patio furniture looking like new again.
- S.O.S® pads remove rust stains.
