What does it means "Scotch-Brite"?

Yeah, I know, it's a trademark, but I mean what it means in English. :)

Scotch means "Scottish", but "brite"?

Thanks.

Sorry, nothing more interesting than a scrubber! Scrubber in the sense of something that helps with the washing up - that word has other even less savoury meanings.

Make sure you use the correct form for the verb in this case, Amurrio. "What does it mean?"

Or you can just say, "What does Scotch-Brite mean?" Like Damian said, it's just a brand name.

Funny how the Scottish have a liquor named after them. Makes you wonder, huh?

I assume "brite" is just a simplified spelling of "bright". (Was that your question?)

Yes, "brite" is a simplified spelling of "bright". Such spellings are commonly used in marketing products.
