Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad

I have been using, very successfully, an off-the-shelf product 3M
Scotch-Brite Easy Erasing Pad.  I have been using it extensively for
surface cleaning of mainly domestic appliances, "white goods"
(fridges, cookers etc).  The product is a double layered foam pad
with the contact surface composed of micro-pores that trap the dirt.
The pad need only to be lightly moistened with distilled water to be
effective. It is mildly abrasive so l would not use it on delicate
surfaces but as far as l can tell it is completely inert, leaves no
residue and uses no chemicals. It is easily shaped for access to
difficult areas. I have found it to be a highly effective and was
wondering why it is not used more. Does anyone have any similar
experiences of using this material?
