An auto body shop isn’t the first place you’d think to go for tips on tidying the kitchen, but the people who take pride in detailing cars know a thing or two aboutwithout damaging them. So when I found out that body shops used a special kind of steel wool to clean windshield glass, I was intrigued. Popular cleaning wisdom alerts us that using steel wool should be limited to materials that can handle its abrasive power—just imagining the scratches standard steel wool might leave on delicate glassware makes me shudder. No matter how much you, you probably don’t want a Pyrex dish that has the opacity of sea glass. But those rules don’t apply to 0000-grade steel wool, which has steel fibers far finer than a typical scouring pad.
Steel wool is made of thin steel filaments, and the various grades of steel wool are determined by the thinness of those filaments. The finest grade steel wool available is 0000—its little steel wires measuring 0.025 millimeters in diameter.I bought some 0000 steel wool from my local hardware store and tried it on the blackened drip tray of my toaster oven.
Upon deeper digging, I learned that many cleaning professionals have been using 0000 steel wool for years—and if you haven’t tried it, I’d highly recommend buying a box. Before you get started, though, keep these tips in mind:to avoid any possible skin irritation when using steel wool. Also, since this variety is superfine, it can release extra-fine shavings. Consider popping a face mask on for super heavy-duty scrubbing.
