Will the plastic scratch easily when cleaning with textured cleaning pad (like green ones on the back of a dish sponges)?

I would certainly think so of any items made with this material. Cleaning should only be performed under running water using a soft sponge or cloth, never anything hard, sharp or abrasive. If you're not sure, test a very small spot on the bottom edge.

i have been using mine and have never had a problem with scratching and the in and out works fine also hope this helps you

Yes, but I keep a paper towel in the bottom so it won't scratch. My first one scratched from the feet.

I use mine for mixing with a hand mixer and have not had any problems with scratching. It is made of very heavy material and hand washes up very easily. I love that the rubber (?) on the bottom holds it to the counter while mixing. I love these bowls!

Mine is still pretty clean, but I've only had it for a few months. It gets scratched pretty easily, but they're not too noticeable

I found this link. Basically they will scratch if you slide them from what I gather. Good luck.http://ths.gardenweb.com/forums/load/cookware/msg010049447701.html

No. Not at all. In fact it's really easy to clean. Even a wet cloth does it. I have a metal textured bowl that sits on top and I've moved it back and forth. Not a scratch.

It is plastic. This sponge, contrary to its description, is nothing special. It does not "clean up big messes with little effort." It is that sort of sponge material (think 3M, etc) that is NOT absorbent. In my experience the only absorbent sponge is a cellular type, traditional sponge. Yes, it won't scratch, but it also won't clean or scrub efficiently; you will always have to switch to something else. To answer your specific question, if your cooktop is glass, use a straight-edged metal shaving blade to scrape up burned on stuff; if it's a glass cooktop it won't scratch. Then clean using a product like Cerama Brite and elbow grease.

No it still gets fingerprints and smears, but they seem easier to clean up than on a screen. Also the screen won't get damaged if you scratch it when cleaning.

I've been using them mostly on the car and my wife grabs some to dry the dishes. They are just as soft and smooth as my glass cleaning cloths but I have not cleaned my glasses with them. I see no reason why they would scratch yours. They wash up very well and come out just as soft.

I have not noticed any scratching on th interior or exterior on any of my pots or pans. I have also used metal utensils, and a fork on them. I was wary of this too, but made the decision to buy as most of the negative reviews said external scratching. The only thing I won't use on them is a scouring pad, metal wool etc and you will notice if you get them that you really don't need to use that stuff.

I don't think they will scratch. I would use a gentle touch and some stainless cleaner. My sink is fairly new so it does not have stains in the corners.

If you use other steel pans, I suppose so. The DeBuyer pan bottom is smooth like most pans and shouldn't scratch.

It wont scratch at all but with ceramic-glass tops they can always be damaged with the avid cooker

The bristles won't scratch stainless unless you are using an abrasive powder cleaner, in which case the cleaner will do the scratching. These bristles are fairly stiff but not abrasive.

Pretty sure it should be safe. Seems like the same thing as dish type pads that you use on teflon that wont scratch it. Didn't scratch my polished acrylic shower. I would check on one little area though & scrub with it to be sure.

It says not to use on stainless steel appliances as some finishes may scratch. I use them on my stainless steel pots and other material dishes and cookware all the time. I have not noticed any scratching
