Comment on Can I use a steel sponge as a soldering sponge?

It will destroy the soldering iron tip’s plating. This will quickly result in it being unusable for soldering.

It’s not dangerous. It won’t emit any toxic fumes as long as it’s just a stainless steel scrubber & not one pre-impregnated with soap like a brillo pad. But since it’ll destroy the iron’s tip it’ll quickly be more expensive than brass wool.
