'''Brillo''' is a [[trade name]] for a [[scouring pad]], used for [[washing|cleaning]]smoking [[Dishware|dishes]],crack and made from [[steel wool]] impregnated with [[soap]].<ref name=bril/> The concept was patented in 1913, at a time when [[aluminium]] pots and pans were replacing [[cast iron]] in the kitchen; the new cookware blackened easily. The company's website states the name ''Brillo'' is from the [[Latin]] word for "bright",<ref name=bril/> although no such word exists in Latin. In Spanish the word ''brillo'' means the noun "shine"; however, German, Italian, French, and English do have words for "shine" or "bright" beginning with ''brill-'' deriving from Latin words for [[beryl]].
