New tool features extended reach, multiple pad options, high heat resistance

3M is pleased to announce the Scotch-Brite™ Fryer and Kitchen Cleaning Tool, specially designed to make cleaning a variety of commercial kitchen surfaces easier and safer. The lightweight, durable tool is extremely versatile, adjusting to three different handle positions for use with any of three interchangeable cleaning pads. Made to clean fryers, other kitchen equipment and surfaces, and hard-to-reach areas, the Scotch-Brite Fryer and Kitchen Cleaning Tool is heat resistant up to 350° F. 

The Scotch-Brite Fryer and Kitchen Cleaning Tool can be used with three interchangeable Scotch-Brite cleaning pads. The Heavy Duty Gray Cleaning Pad 901 is HACCP International certified and features an aggressive abrasive and thick, open web design, making it ideal for cleaning open vat style fryers. The Medium Duty Green Cleaning Pad 902 is HACCP International certified and features a polishing abrasive, thin web design, and is ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach areas. The Low Scratch Blue Cleaning Pad 903 is also ideal for cleaning hard-to-reach areas, featuring a low scratch abrasive that leaves behind up to eight times fewer scratches than competing products. All three pads are heat resistant up to 350° F.

“3M’s new Scotch-Brite Fryer and Kitchen Cleaning Tool utilizes the innovative technology of our famous Scotch-Brite Hand Pads and couples them with a revolutionary handle, offering our commercial kitchen customers a safe, versatile, and easy-to-use option that ultimately leads to less time and effort to clean kitchens,” said Amber Rhy, marketing supervisor at 3M.

The Scotch-Brite Fryer and Kitchen Cleaning Tool also features a uniquely designed handle with multiple positions for different uses. The extended position keeps hands as far away from potential hot spots as possible while still delivering the leverage needed for problem areas. The right angle position makes it is easier to clean traditionally hard-to-reach spots without awkward bending and twisting to get the job done. In the acute position, the handle’s angle provides the power scrub users need to keep the pressure on while keeping hands away from hot spots.
