Make Brillo Pad Last Longer

To prevent a Brillo pad from getting rusty, rinse after use then shake out all of the excess water. Make sure no more water comes out when you shake it. I even hit the pad against the sink wall a few times. The pad will last so much longer!

I cut mine into 4 pieces. I hardly ever need an entire pad. This way they last even longer.

A post a long time ago was to store the pad in a piece of aluminum foil. I didn't see how this could work, but to my astonishment, it does!

Just store it in a small container at the back of the sink in water to which baking soda (3 tbs to 1 cup water) has been added. Will last so much longer!

P.S. I also read about putting it in the freezer between uses, haven't tried it yet though as the baking soda bath works so well.

I too read about putting it in baggy/old bread wrapper and putting in freezer- this works like a charm!

The important point is to get it dry before it can rust, setting it on something that enables air to circulate under and around it (like an old metal-mesh sieve).

The Best one that I use regularly is that I cut them in half. The pad works virtually the same, you get double the pads.

I cut them in halves or fourths before use, depending on the job size!

I have found that the best way (for me) to keep a Brill or other soap pad from rusting is to set it on a dry sponge. I have an open plastic soap dish that I keep on the back of my sink to put the spong in. I never have any rust.

I have always put mine back in the box after using, so I can use it again. They don't rust and are reusable.
