    Short Handle—Clean equipment at close range or tackle tight corners with better control.
    Medium Handle—Hold with two hands to extend your reach at mid-range for increased scrubbing leverage.
    Long Handle—Easily access hard-to-reach corners. These handles are equipped with 360° swiveling pad holders to twist and turn when cleaning floors, walls, or tanks.
    Light Abrasion—Delicately clean sensitive surfaces. These pads remove debris with minimal risk of scuffing. Use them on glass, plastic, and soft metals.
    Medium Abrasion—Best for general purpose cleaning. These pads lift grime and grease off surfaces where light scuffing may be tolerated, such as stainless steel and aluminum.
    Heavy Abrasion—Ideal for challenging jobs. These pads remove rust, oxidation, and baked-on residue. Use them on durable surfaces that can withstand some scratching, such as cast iron and concrete.
    Polyurethane Foam—Remove residues from delicate surfaces such as glass. These pads come with a built-in handle. Use them until the foam degrades, then dispose.
    Swivel Pad Holder—A 360° swiveling handle lets you twist and turn the scouring pad.
