Scrubby metallic cloth things that allegedly don't scratch

Has anyone bought these scrubby cloths that are advertised on Instagram all the time? They look like a microfibre cloth but metallic. They supposedly clean as well as steel wool but don't rust or fall apart.

I don't want to name the brand in case it looks like a stealth ad. I really just want to know if anyone knows the things I'm talking about and if they are any good.

I don't know if you mean the copper ones. I bought some in a kitchen shop and they are pretty decent

@Ferro I know the things you mean. I also know that nothing I've ever bought as a result of an Instagram ad has lived up to expectations.

Best scourer I've found, by far, is https://www.marigold.co.uk/scrub-away

I have the “metal” cloths. They’re better than a microfibre cloth but not as good as a metal scrubber ball. Obviously more gentle than a scrubber ball though.

I find them useful on stuck on food on non-stick pans/sheets, and they get everything off my induction hob without taking off the lines!

For proper burnt on stuff or oven cleaning I still use a metal scrubber ball.

I have some of these, thought they would be a total gimmick, they are rather good.
