Cut Your Brillo In Half

Instead of using a whole Brillo pad, I cut one in half. It's great if you only need to clean a couple of pots or pans. Instead of wasting a whole pad.

I have been doing this for some time. I have a housekeeper sponsored by the state and the previous woman that they sent me, didn't like them at all. I would sit in the living room and hear her mumbling in the kitchen, something to the effect that she had never seen such little soap pads, they were hard to hold on to, etc. I would sit here doing everything I could to keep from laughing out loud.

This absolutely works the best! No more rusting and it saves money too. Thank you so much for the tip.

I understand it also helps to keep your scissors sharp.
