Lodge Scrub Brush, Cast Iron Cleaning Brush, 10 Inches

I've tried the scrapers, tried the kosher salt method, even tried the chain mail cleaner. This brush consistently cleans my cast iron skillet without removing the seasoning layer. Hot water and this brush - all you need. With a seasoned pan, I rarely have to "scrub" with this brush, and never have to press hard enough to break the brush! I've had my brush for two years, hasn't broken, but the bristles are started to get a little frayed and stiff, so I'm buying another today. If you go cast iron, you have to learn a new way to clean and maintain. Once you learn it, and have this brush, you'll be set. When finished cooking, keep the pan on heat, add some oil till it's hot, then with hot water running, add some water to the pan which will boil and sizzle, which breaks up food/residue in the pan, then use brush to relatively gently break up and grind away what's in the pan, then use the running hot water to wash it all away, then use a paper towel to dry out the pan and "spread around" that thin layer of oil that didn't completely wash away. **NOT washing away that remaining layer of oil is THE KEY to keeping that skillet seasoned. When I started doing it this way, I really started loving my cast iron because the seasoning layer never gets lost and just continues to become more bonded with each use. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BRUSH!

We use this every day on everything! Not just for cast iron or pots-n-pans! Great quality! The length ensures it can reach to the bottom of jars, vases & tall glasses! Never scratches! Cleanes effortlessly! Received quickly!

Purchased mid January 2026. I primarily use my Lodge cast iron pans during winter on my kitchen cookstove, so I use this brush on an daily basis, sometimes 2-3 times a day. It is holding up well and still looks new. My pans are well seasoned, so I don't use soap, just a quick scrub with the brush to remove any particles left behind. I see some complain they thought the brush would be stiffer. I like that it's a medium stiffness. It takes a little bit more effort for seared steak, but a little salt and a quick scrub the pan is clean. I'm questioning if maybe some users cast iron pans might not be quite as seasoned as they should be? At this time I have no complaints with the Lodge scrub brush. Good value for the money.

I like the design of this scrub brush. It feels balanced in the hand, and the handle is long and sturdy enough that you feel you can really scrub with the brush -- it's not delicate or easy to break. These are all "pros" in my mind. Important ones. Another thing I like is the reasonable price. Often, one sees only "cutsie" accessories that look flimsy and have a higher price than it seems they should. This brush gives me the sense that I'm getting my money's worth. Plus, as an Amazon Prime member, I am confident that customer service issues, if they should arise, will be taken care of properly. Again, that's an important plus in my book. The only "con" or concern I have is whether the bristles will hold up, long term. They are pretty stout now, when the brush is new, but they look like brush bristles I've used in the past that, once they get wet and are used a few times, begin to sag or fall out. I don't know if these bristles are natural or man-made, but in either case, I believe that drying the brush properly is a KEY to having a useful tool that lasts a good long time. I recommend that the manufacturer provides instructions about how to clean and dry the brush; otherwise, it may end up in a couple of months with bristles that have lost their rigidity or sharpness, and lean over or fall out. This would spell the end of usefulness, and that is just not necessary. This is not a criticism or review of the manufacturer, just a suggestion about how to make a good product even more valuable. Overall, I give the Lodge Scrub Brush 4 stars because it looks hefty and appears to have real value as a cleaning tool for cast iron. (It can also be used for many other cleaning jobs that require a strong brush.) I didn't give it 5 stars because I think the addition of the weird name "SCRBRSH" in the product title is confusing and unnecessary. You may think this is a joke, but I'm serious -- why cloud a simple name with what looks like a warehouse stock description? That does the consumer no good.

This is not at all what I needed. I figured being from Lodge, the bristles would be firm- like it states. These bristles are way too soft to clean my cast iron. My pan is old and has a good seasoning on it, these bristles do not clean it whatsoever. When you press down to scrub, they all just poke out to the sides. I had to pull out an old scrub brush and clean my pan, that only had a little fried egg residue. I regret spending the money on this.

Great brush to clean the cast iron skillets

Does a great job of cleaning the grill..

very durable brush!

Vorab: als Hobby-Koch ist man nur so gut wie seine Ausrüstung und zu Weihnachten kam endlich eine lang gewünschte Gusseisen-Pfanne von Le Creuset in mein Leben. Anfangs etwas enttäuscht bin ich nun nach einer nächtlichen Öl-Einbrennen-Session mehr als überzeugt von diesem Material. Nachdem ich bei der Recherche zu diesem Thema viel über Einbrennen, Öl-Wahl und Patina gelesen habe, war es mir unmöglich geworden, dieses massive Stück Eisen mit einem schnöden Glitzi-Spülschwann zu bearbeiten - die hart erarbeitete "Patina" soll ja erhalten bleiben. Also musste eine Spezialbürste her Was ist hier so spezial? die Borsten sind aus einem weichen Plastik und vorne irgendwie abgerundet, so dass beim Spülen ein eher "cremiges" Gefühl entsteht, eher wie bei einer Rasierbürste (die gab's mal früher, vor diesen Rasierschaum-Sprühdosen). So bleibt die Patina erhalten und Rest werden sanft entfernt. Der hölzerne Stiel/Griff wirkt sehr wertig und liegt gut in der Hand. In der Praxis: ...ist meine "Patina" noch jung und damit gibt es immer wieder Stellen mit festeren Speiseresten, ich liebe Rührei, so dass manchmal die Fingernägel helfen müssen. Das geht aber problemlos durch die Anbehandlung mit der Bürste. Fazit: wenn ich das eben geschriebene mit etwas Abstand lese, wirkt es schon irgendwie pedantisch bis unnötig aufwändig, bei PTFE-Pfannen flutscht das Zeug einfach runter, aber das Kochen fühlt sich anders an. Das ist wahrscheinlich ein typischer Trend, so wie handgemahlener Kaffee, der in kreisenden Bewegungen aufgebrüht wird. Aber die Bürste ist jedenfalls gut.

Para un sartén de hierro fundido es bien importante no rallarlo, y este cepillo lo hace perfecto, cuida el sartén, recomiendo mucho si lo que quieren es que esté bien cuidado y dure mucho tiempo. La forma en que yo lo limpio es poniendo un poco de jabón en un traste con agua y mojo el cepillo, para cepillar el sartén por todos lados.

ロッジのスキレットを洗うために購入。 使い勝手も良く綺麗に汚れが落ちます。 壊れたらリピートします。

The brush came in a nice box, and seems quite well-built. Good length of timber handle for grip. Let's see how long it can last.
