In a professional kitchen, everything revolves around constant cleaning, safe working practices and materials that can withstand intensive use. Within the Bunzl Foodservice range, 3M is the obvious choice for durable cleaning materials designed for daily use. You’ll find solutions for grills, pans, floors and deep-fat fryers, with a range tailored to catering and cleaning teams who want to work quickly and accurately.
The best-known products are the Scotch-Brite scouring pad and the accompanying professional scouring sponge. These allow you to tackle caked-on residues and grease without applying unnecessary pressure. For grills or flat griddles, there are griddle pad solutions, whilst a plastic scouring pad is useful for tasks requiring firm yet controlled cleaning. The colour-coding of the pads helps you to better distinguish between materials and applications within your operations.
3M also offers practical support for floor cleaning. Floor pads for scrubbing machines are available in various designs, allowing you to choose between maintenance, intensive cleaning or a more polishing-oriented approach for each cleaning round. This makes standardisation easier, particularly if you operate across multiple sites or have fixed cleaning schedules. The wider Bunzl range also includes professional vacuum cleaners and nitrile gloves that fit seamlessly into daily cleaning processes.
For deep-fat fryer management, 3M provides a practical monitoring tool in the form of deep-fat fryer oil test strips. These give you a quicker insight into the condition of the oil and enable you to plan maintenance more effectively. This helps you to consistently monitor quality and hygiene, without unnecessary waste or guesswork. Particularly in busy kitchens, this is a simple way to keep things under control on the work floor.
Bunzl Foodservice supports you with a wide B2B range, centralised procurement and advice tailored to your specific needs. Whether you’re looking for scouring pads for daily maintenance or specific pads for machine and grill cleaning, you want equipment that’s suited to the task and doesn’t get in the way. 3M remains a trusted name in professional cleaning, combining speed, control and durability.
FAQ about 3M

2. Which 3M products are suitable for a professional kitchen?
Within the Bunzl range, you’ll find 3M products including Scotch-Brite scouring pads, professional scouring sponges, griddle pads, plastic scouring pads and deep-fat oil test strips. These products are designed for cleaning hobs, pans, surfaces and managing grease. For kitchen teams, the specific application is the key factor.
3. Are Scotch-Brite scouring pads suitable for the catering industry?
Yes, Scotch-Brite scouring pads are widely used in the catering and foodservice sectors. They are designed for professional cleaning tasks where you need to remove stubborn dirt and baked-on grease. The colour-coding helps you choose the right type for each task.
4. What is the difference between a griddle pad and a plastic scouring pad?
A griddle pad is primarily intended for grills and baking trays where burnt-on residues occur. A plastic scouring pad is more commonly used for controlled cleaning of various surfaces. Which type is suitable depends on the surface and the degree of soiling.
5. What colour-coding do 3M pads use?
The colour coding varies depending on the type of pad and its intended use. In practice, this coding helps you to distinguish between cleaning strength, intended use and cleaning routines. This is particularly useful in teams with several cleaners or fixed working arrangements.
6. When should you use deep-fat cooking oil test strips?
Frying fat test strips are used to check the condition of frying fat. They help you determine when it needs changing and prevent unnecessary continued use. This is useful in kitchens where both quality and planning are important.
7. Does Bunzl Foodservice only supply 3M cleaning products?
No, Bunzl Foodservice supplies a much broader B2B range for the hospitality and foodservice sectors. 3M is a brand within this range specialising in professional cleaning and maintenance. This allows you to combine multiple operational categories with a single supplier.
8. What should you look out for when choosing scouring pads for the catering industry?
When choosing scouring pads for the catering industry, you should focus primarily on the intended use, hardness, colour coding and the surface you wish to clean. A pad for grills requires a different approach to one for floors or general maintenance. This helps prevent unnecessary wear and tear on both the pad and the surface.
