Scotch Brite Sponges

[tpbc]

this might sound like an odd question, but, I was grabbing a new Scotch Brite sponge (coarse green on one side, and yellow sponge on the other) from my kitchen and I noticed on the packaging that it says (do not use on stainless appliances, may scratch) Should I be conserned about it putting scratches in my keggle's? I've used them befor, but is there something else I should be using... I figure any scratches are more places for bad stuff to grow....

I suspect that warning is aimed at actually using it on the exterior of stainless steel appliances, which would show even mild scuffing. I use green scrubbies all the time on kettles and kegs...

Cheers!

...and since you're BOILING the liquid in your potentially scratched keggles, all is still well in the universe.

They just don't want anyone complaining because the highly polished surface on their fridge or coffee pot got scuffed. As far as my boil pot, the pot I use for an HLT, etc., I just scrub away......and those yellow / green Scotchbrite™ pads are all I use.

I bought like a 20-pack of yellow microfiber cloths from Lowe's that I use to clean all my gear - kettle, plastic buckets, etc. I use them for cleaning and for wiping dry...I have so many that once I accumulate a bunch of dirty ones, they just go in the wash.

this. if you have a mirror finish on your pot, it could put scratches into it. if you dont care, then it doesnt matter.
