The clue is in the name, it’s wool made out of steel wire. It’s really thin steel wires bundles together and it’s used for polishing and cleaning purposes. It’s ideally used with other metals for stripping, removing rust and general cleaning. There are different grades of steel wool and each serves a different purpose. We stock grade 0000 and grade 00, and they are both used for slightly different applications.

All of our clothes posts come with a socket so you can remove the post after concreting it into the ground. If you’ve not found your socket, then the chances are that you are expecting it to be in a separate package from the clothes post, or you’ve not unwrapped the post yet.
