Copper Cloth
Copper Cloth
Hi all,
Was thinking about cleaning products. I make my own using baking powder and such, but just came across a copper cleaning cloth on the 'Net. I was thinking that I would prefer such a product, even to my homemade eco-friendly cleaning ones, because it means less stuff to buy (that was manufactured).
I found one that is 100% recyclable.
Anyone use one of these? How effective are they, do they really not scratch stainless steel, etc?

Do they work in the same way as the silver ones?
I've got a silver cloth that i've had for years. Its microfibre and impregnated with something. They don't say what. (they might do now, after the legislation). It's lasted well and does a fair job. It better than brasso or stuff like that because it doesn't smell and cover your hands in stuff.

I'd like to give one a try! I use e-cloths at the moment and I do like them.

We used to be able to buy something similar, but they were made of wirewool, brass or stainless steel. They were more of a pad than a flat cloth. The brass ones were never popular as they left brass marks on what ever you were cleaning. The wirewool ones were also impregnated with a type of soap to make it easier, but they went rusty after a time. Stainless were the best. In the army we had cloths that we used to clean our brass that had the cleaning agent in it.

I tried growing one once, didn't work either. I might give it another go though, different climate and all that.Nikki wrote:A whole different product to research!
