What Customers Ask About SinkTech Scourer Head 2-Pack
Will these fit my existing SinkTech brush?
These scourer heads are designed to fit all Joseph Joseph SinkTech washing-up brush handles. If you own a SinkTech brush, these heads should fit correctly using the same twist-on mechanism as the bristle heads. Simply twist off the current head and twist on the scourer head.
Can I use these on non-stick pans?
No, these stainless steel scourer heads are not suitable for non-stick pans. The abrasive power that makes them effective on stubborn stains will scratch and damage non-stick coatings, potentially ruining your cookware. Use the standard bristle heads for non-stick surfaces instead. Keep both types on hand for different cleaning tasks.
What surfaces are these suitable for?
These scourer heads work well on stainless steel pots and pans, cast iron cookware (including enamelled cast iron with caution), ceramic dishes, oven trays, grill pans, baking sheets, and other durable surfaces where scratching isn't a concern. They excel at removing baked-on food, burnt residue, and stubborn stains that standard bristles cannot tackle effectively.
How do these compare to the bristle heads?
Scourer heads provide maximum abrasive power for heavy-duty cleaning tasks, whilst bristle heads are gentler and suitable for everyday washing and delicate surfaces. Scourer heads tackle tough, baked-on messes that bristles struggle with, but they can scratch delicate surfaces. Many users keep both types—using bristle heads for general washing and switching to scourer heads for tough jobs.
How do I switch between head types?
Simply twist off whichever head is currently attached (bristle or scourer) by turning anticlockwise, then twist on the replacement head clockwise until secure. The universal SinkTech connection allows you to switch between bristle heads and scourer heads in seconds, giving you the right tool for each cleaning task without needing multiple complete brushes.
Specifications
Care & Use Instructions
After each use: Rinse the scourer head thoroughly under running water to remove food particles, grease, and washing-up liquid. Stainless steel scourers can trap debris between the metal strands, so shake vigorously under running water to dislodge trapped food. This prevents bacterial growth and maintains cleaning effectiveness.
Weekly deep cleaning: Hand wash the scourer head with warm soapy water. For stubborn grease buildup, soak in hot soapy water for 10-15 minutes before rinsing. Use your fingers to work through the stainless steel strands, removing any trapped food particles. Rinse thoroughly and shake out excess water.
Hand wash only: These scourer heads should be washed by hand with soapy water. Do not place in the dishwasher. Hand washing removes trapped food particles and grease whilst maintaining the scourer's structure and effectiveness. Dishwasher detergents and heat cycles aren't necessary for stainless steel and may cause unnecessary wear.
Drying: Allow scourer heads to air dry completely between uses. Shake out excess water after rinsing and store the brush with the scourer head exposed to air. Stainless steel resists rust, but complete drying between uses maintains hygiene and prevents odour development from trapped organic matter.
Storage: Store the scourer head attached to your SinkTech handle in its storage stand (if you have one), or in a location that allows air circulation. If storing a spare unused head, keep it in its original packaging in a clean, dry location until needed. Some users keep both bristle and scourer heads readily accessible for quick switching between tasks.
Using on appropriate surfaces: Before using on any surface, ensure it's suitable for abrasive cleaning. Test on an inconspicuous area if uncertain. Never use on non-stick coatings, soft plastics, acrylic, or any surface where scratching would be problematic. For heavily soiled items, start with gentle pressure and increase as needed—the stainless steel provides substantial abrasive power.
When to replace: Replace scourer heads when they become excessively worn, lose their abrasive effectiveness, or if the stainless steel strands break or separate significantly. Stainless steel scourers typically last longer than bristle heads due to their durable construction, making them a cost-effective choice for heavy-duty cleaning needs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if these don't fit my brush?
Return them to us, even if opened. Our no quibble guarantee covers items that don't fit—if these heads aren't compatible with your brush, we'll refund you in full. These are designed for SinkTech washing-up brushes specifically, so ensure you have a SinkTech brush before purchasing.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage the scourer heads (for example, excessive wear or breakage), we'll replace them at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
How long do these scourer heads last?
Stainless steel scourers are very durable and typically last longer than bristle heads due to their robust construction. Replace them when they become excessively worn, lose their abrasive effectiveness, or if the stainless steel strands break or separate significantly. With proper care, each head can handle many months of regular use. The 2-pack provides excellent longevity.
Can I wash these in the dishwasher?
These should be washed by hand with soapy water. Hand washing removes trapped food particles and grease whilst maintaining the scourer's effectiveness. Rinse thoroughly after each use under running water, shaking vigorously to dislodge debris trapped between the stainless steel strands. Dishwasher cleaning isn't necessary for stainless steel scourers.
Will these scratch stainless steel sinks or pans?
Stainless steel scourers can leave fine scratches on polished stainless steel surfaces, though these are typically superficial rather than deep. Most users find this an acceptable trade-off for the cleaning power. For highly polished or decorative stainless steel where appearance is paramount, test on an inconspicuous area first or use bristle heads instead. For workhorse cookware, the minor scratching is rarely problematic.
Do I need the brush handle separately?
Yes, these are replacement heads only. You need an existing Joseph Joseph SinkTech washing-up brush handle. If you don't already own a SinkTech brush, purchase the complete brush first, which includes a handle, initial head (typically bristles), and often a storage stand.
Should I buy both bristle and scourer heads?
Many users find having both types beneficial. Bristle heads handle everyday washing and delicate surfaces, whilst scourer heads tackle tough jobs. The ability to switch heads quickly means one brush handle serves multiple purposes. Consider your cooking habits—if you frequently deal with baked-on food or use oven trays and grill pans, scourer heads become essential.
Can I use these on ceramic hobs or glass cooktops?
Exercise caution on ceramic hobs and glass cooktops. Whilst stainless steel scourers can remove burnt-on food from these surfaces, they may scratch the finish. Test on an inconspicuous corner first, use light pressure, and consider whether specialized ceramic hob cleaners might be safer for maintaining the surface. The scourer heads work best on cookware rather than delicate cooking surfaces.
Will these rust or corrode?
Stainless steel resists rust and corrosion well. Allow scourer heads to dry completely between uses to maintain optimal condition. If any rust spots develop (rare with quality stainless steel), this typically indicates trapped moisture—ensure thorough drying and shake out excess water after each use. Proper care prevents corrosion issues.
