The stiff wire dishcloth is a kitchen cleaning product made primarily from metal stiff wire, manufactured via weaving or composite techniques. Known for strong friction and heavy-duty grease removal, it is suitable for pots, stoves, and other tough cleaning scenarios. The following is a systematic summary of its features.

1. Basic Definition & Key Features

• Core Definition: Made from stainless steel wire, ultra-fine stiff wire, or similar materials, formed through weaving or composite processes. Combines the strong cleaning power of stiff wire with hand-friendly fabric. Unlike ordinary dishcloths, it efficiently removes burnt residues and heavy grease. Some designs are double-sided (stiff wire + cotton side) for different cleaning needs.

• Key Features:

• Appearance: Stiff wire surface with fine mesh or embossed texture, usually square-shaped, sizes typically 25×25cm or 30×30cm for easy handling.

• Functionality: Stiff wire side removes heavy grease and burnt residues; cotton side absorbs water and oil, suitable for pots, stoves, sinks. Superior cleaning efficiency compared to traditional steel wool without hiding dirt.

• Safety: High-quality stiff wire is fine and does not easily shed, gentle on coated cookware, reducing scratch risk.

2. Main Material Types & Performance

3. Core Craft & Structure

3.1 Weaving Techniques

• Plain Weave: Tight wire arrangement, even friction, suitable for routine heavy grease cleaning.

• Embossed / Raised Weave: Wire forms bumps for stronger localized friction; excellent for burnt residues, common patterns include diamond or fish-scale textures.

3.2 Composite Techniques

• Double-sided Composite: Wire side + cotton side bonded via heat-press or sewing, with edge locking to prevent wire shedding and improve durability.

• Multi-layer Composite: Thin nonwoven layers between wire layers for shape retention, reducing wire loosening and increasing safety.

3.3 Edge Locking

• Ultrasonic Sealing: High-frequency vibration fuses edges without fraying, suitable for fine stiff wires, highly durable.

• Double Stitch Locking: 12-14 stitches per 3cm, strong edge, suitable for cotton composite versions and repeated washing.

4. Cleaning Principle & Usage Tips

4.1 Cleaning Principle

• Physical Friction: Dense wire texture produces strong friction to remove burnt residues and heavy grease. Larger contact area than traditional steel wool ensures uniform cleaning without hidden dirt.

• Material Advantage: Stainless steel wire is rust-resistant, more durable than ordinary steel wool. Cotton composite side absorbs oil & water, reducing secondary contamination.

4.2 Usage Tips

• Heavy-duty Cleaning: Apply a small amount of dish soap to wire side, rub clockwise on burnt spots. Use ultra-fine stiff wire for coated cookware to avoid scratches.

• Daily Cleaning: Double-sided cloth uses wire for grime removal and cotton side for wiping; rinse with water afterward, reducing detergent use.

• Dry/Wet Use: Dry for dust removal; wet for grease & burnt residue, improving Cleaning efficiency.

5. Multi-Scenario Use & Extended Applications

1. Kitchen Cleaning

• Pots & Pans: Cast iron, stainless steel burnt bottoms; light residues on coated cookware, avoiding scratches.

• Countertops & Sinks: Heavy grease on stoves, range hoods, sink edges; rinses clean easily.

• Utensils: Ceramic, glassware; cotton side suits delicate items.

2. Home Extensions: Clean faucets, bathroom fixtures, window tracks; ideal for small heavy-duty areas.

6. Care & Storage Guidelines

1. Washing: Neutral detergent, ≤40℃ water, hand wash or gentle machine wash. Avoid bleach and high-heat drying to prevent wire oxidation.

2. Stain Removal: For heavy grease, soak 10 minutes in warm water, gently rinse; avoid pulling the wire layer to prevent deformation.

3. Storage: Wash, air dry, fold, and store in a dry, ventilated area to avoid moisture, extend lifespan.
