Yes, it is different. This has a thins soft pad on one side. The other side is what I would liken to drywall sandpaper. This is totally pliable so will get down into the bowl very easily. It worked great for me.

It is not like the material of the flat green scrubie, but it is flexible like it. It's abrasive like sandpaper and had a thin foam backing. As long as you are willing to stick your hand down in the bottom and have a little wiggle room to scrub, it should do the trick.

It's a thin sponge with an abrasive grid attached to the sponge. It works well and will go where ever your fingers go

This pad is smaller and easier to maneuver in the smaller spaces. Takes off hard water rings as well I love them

I am not familiar with the green kitchen scrubby, but this will definitely get down in the throat of the bottom of the bowl. I turn the water supply to the toilet off and empty the tank about 3 or 4 times a year to give it an extra good cleaning. Without working in a very wet environment you can accomplish a lot more and you can't have the benefit of powder cleaner (such as Barkeeper's Friend, Ajax or Comet) with water in the bowl. Shaw's Pads are great.

These are more stiff than standard scribbles. They are sort if flexible, and I was definitely able to get into and around things, but the main difference is the actual material that scrubs. I am not sure what the mesh is, but I was able to get hard water stains off our toilets (we bought a historic house that had not had good upkeep for a couple of years). The ring that I was not able to get off of anything else came of with just a few minutes and only moderate effort scrubbing. I've not tried it on a large variety of stains, but these were fantastic on everything porcelain I've used them on (old tubs and toilets). I did not use the wand, just wore heavy duty gloves and held the scrubber in my hand. These are more stiff than standard scribbles.

Yes, it is very different from the thin, flat green kitchen scrubie. It is thin with a black mesh on one side and a thin white sponge on the opposite side. I wear rubber gloves and can easily reach down into the bottom of the bowl. I cannot believe how incredible this little sponge is! The black mesh side must have some type of pumice or diamond component to it. All I can say is that it removed the ugly brown streaks from our toilets like nothing I've ever seen. We are on well water and trying to keep the ugly mineral deposits off of the porcelain had been impossible until I got these amazing Shaw's pads. They are absolutely wonderful and don't scratch the porcelain like pumice stones can. Yes, it is very different from the thin, flat green kitchen scrubie.

Yes, it is far better than anything I have ever used. Will clean the hard water rings and build up without any cleaning powders or liquids . All that is needed is water. Amazing product.

I haven't seen a regular Dawn dish foam in my local stores. They are all the Dawn Platinum Erasing Dish Foam. The refill here is the same as in the stores. It's possible that they originated with a regular dish foam soap and have since replaced it with this item. With this product you don't have to fill the sink with water-you just apply it to your damp sponge and wash your dishes.

I like the new composite Super Peel because it is so thin. I use it with the cloth to load pizza and bread onto the stone and then slip the cloth off and use it like a normal peel to remove the goods after baking. The wood peels are much thicker and, I think, more difficult to use as a simple peel.

I also haven't had a problem. I've had mine nearly 6 months and it looks practically brand new inside and out. I did have a little discoloration after a few dishes I've prepared. To remedy that, I poured a little baking soda right onto a (not-too-wet) normal sponge, and it scrubbed right out. The baking soda acts as an exfoliant (as well as of course, an odor-removing deodorizer) and provides a nice, soft scrubbing action. rinse it all away. Hand dry.

I used it on a cream granite and left a small residue. The residue is now gone so I don't think you should worry about it but just in case test it on an area where most people can't see. My installer left behind the pieces where the apron sink was to be installed so I test it there first to make sure no issues. If you have any un used pieces test it there first if not, just go where you got the stone and they typically have broken pieces they don't mind giving away. Hope all goes great!

It is softer. It actually removes the gunk from the toilet- I did try a regular pumice and it did not work at all.

Just use a good quality liquid dish soap, (some are a lot better than others) and good"Hot" water to rinse with. I haven't had any problem. Also, I don't empty and wash every time it gets low.Just add some more butter and smooth it. I'm alone, so, if have several people making a mess you have a different problem.

I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink. The product has a mild minty, maybe a little medicinal, smell that isn't overwhelming and I can't really smell it when not in the area of the dish. I find it stops working when it has evaporated. It works okay, but I don't think it would work in a larger open area, like a whole room. And it doesn't "eliminate" any odor that is continual. I didn't find it was as successful as some of the reviews stated. I've used the Febreeze Set and Refresh little containers with similar results. Nothing I've found totally gets rid of continual odors. I've put a few drops in a glass dish (per instructions) to help dissipate some mildewy odors under a sink.

I know it's been a long time since you've posted this, but I'd like to know if you mean regular cups, or the rice cooker cups? Cause I just learned today that those measurements are different. (Explains why my rice was crunchier than usual the other night when I was too lazy to wash the rice cooker cup.)I was thinking of setting this up to try this weekend, and you're the first one to post what seems to be a reliable recipe.

Because it was a plastic bowl we just used fancy plastic cups, nothing special. Clear ones work best. Hope this helps!

I used on my porcelain sink w/o removing any grime or stains prior to use of it. It worked really great, even cleaned stains from around the drain. I 1st used a regular sponge cleaner over the stains, no response. I used a magic eraser, cleaned some, but not as much as I wanted. Used hope with magic eraser and almost effortlessly removed stains and "appeared" to cover scratches. I have white sink, so, whether it helped the scratches or not, I don't know. But my sink looked awesome after cleaning and rinsing!

My best guess and how I use it, is to final file the blade after I have sharpened it. It's not a sponge. It's a very durable & hard material that like I said, I believe is used to sheer any minescule remnants from after sharpening. Had the directions been in English, I might have been able to confirm this. However, the stone and stand are very well made and I don't think you can go wrong.

Hi Irene. I tried to put a strip on the bottom and one on top at the same time and it was terribly uncomfortable and I could not keep the strips from "slipping" around in my mouth so I use one on top and afterwards one on the bottom. You can try it to see if it works for you but it did not for me. Have to use the separately but they work:)

The largest one is for whole body use. The two little ones are supposed to be for the face and one has slightly softer bristles than the other and lastly there is a small mostly ineffectual pumice stone.

Thank you for your suggestion to use vinegar. I just did and most of it came off. I have to use pumice in the toilet bowls too.

I have never been too concerned about the different thicknesses of the stones. True, it will make some difference, but I still have great success. I would be mindful of over compensating. Best wishes to you and I hope you have great success.

All I can tell you is that there are no scratches on the fixtures when I use the EarthStone. From my experience, pumice stones don't remove stains, etc. without leaving behind some damage. This product is much softer.
