Safe
Soft copper will never scratch or damage costly machine parts. No metal splinters make it safe for workers, too.

Rust-Free
Pure, solid copper will not rust or contaminate end product.

Effective
Knitted structure keeps flat wire on edge for excellent scraping action without scratching.

Non-Flammable
Because copper gauze is 100% metal, it can’t burn or even smoke when used directly on hot equipment.

Low Cost
Costs less than currently used household-type metallic cleaners.

Efficient
Compared to other methods (charring, wire brushes, metal sponges), knitted copper gauze cleans in less time—often less than one hour to clean a machine.
