Some background on Brillo company

In the early 1900s, a breakthrough in home cookware was taking hold in America. Aluminum pots and pans were replacing heavy cast iron in homes throughout the nation. But, there was a problem. They were next-to-impossible to clean. Enter a cookware peddler and his brother-in-law, a jeweler. Using the jeweler’s rouge, soap, and fine steel wool from Germany, the two found a method to scour these new pots and pans clean. When idea worked, the peddler soon began to sell it.

Demand for the steel wool and the cake of soap with the jeweler’s rouge rose quickly, and in 1913 they secured a patent for the product under the name Brillo® (derived from the Latin word meaning “bright.”). By 1917, the Brillo Manufacturing Company was making steel wool pads and packaging them, five pads to a box, with a cake of soap included. In 1921, the Brillo Manufacturing Company moved to London, Ohio where production resides today.

The next and most dramatic step in the evolution of the Brillo steel wool pad came in the early 1930s. That’s when the company developed a method to put the soap right into the pads themselves.
