FINEX Chainmail Scrubber — Frequently Asked Questions
What is the FINEX Chainmail Scrubber?
The FINEX Chainmail Scrubber is a cleaning tool designed especially for cast iron cookware. It uses stainless steel chainmail linked rings with an ergonomic silicone core to help scrub off grime without stripping your seasoning.
What are the key features and specifications?
• Made of **304 stainless steel chainmail** with a silicone core for grip
• Dimensions: approximately **3″ × 4″**
• Dishwasher safe for easy maintenance
• Safe to use on FINEX cast iron and other cast iron cookware without damaging seasoning
• Hanging ring or ergonomic design to aid grip and storage
How should I use it effectively?
1. After cooking, let your cast iron pan cool slightly (but it can still be warm).
2. Use the chainmail scrubber with minimal water or just warm water to scrub off stuck-on food.
3. The chainmail links reach into grooves and textures better than a flat scrub pad.
4. Rinse, dry immediately, and re-oil the surface to maintain the seasoning.
How do I care for and maintain the chainmail scrubber?
• It is safe to clean in the dishwasher.
• Rinse thoroughly after heavy use to avoid food residue buildup within the links.
• Dry fully to prevent any potential corrosion or spots.
• Store it in a dry place, possibly hanging by its ring.
What are the advantages and limitations?
Advantages:
• Excellent at removing tough residues, stuck bits, and baked-on crust
• Safe on seasoning — does not aggressively scrape off the cast iron’s seasoned surface
• Durable construction with stainless steel that resists rust if cleaned/dried properly
• Compact size (3″ × 4″) makes it easy to keep near your cooking area
Limitations / cautions:
• Though durable, repeated improper use (force, metal brushing) may eventually wear links
• It must be dried after use to avoid any water retention in the chainmail
• For really heavy carbon or buildup, you may still need additional soak or degreasing steps
