What is Steel Wool?
Steel wool is a material made from thin steel filaments that are either matted together or woven into a pad. Consumers are often familiar with steel wool in the form of a dish scouring pad; it is also used by woodworkers as a replacement for sandpaper, and it has a number of other uses as well. Many hardware stores and markets sell steel wool, and sometimes multiple grades are available for different tasks, ranging from coarse to fine.
