About TROLLULL
TROLLULL steel wool is made from high-quality, low-carbon steel wire that is drawn to precise diameters and then shaved into uniform fibres. The manufacturing process ensures consistent fibre thickness within each grade — critical for achieving predictable results when finishing.
Beyond woodworking, TROLLULL steel wool is widely used for cleaning glass (removing paint splashes and adhesive residue), polishing metal, and general surface preparation. TROLLULL glass cleaning products are a favourite among professional glaziers and decorators.

Frequently asked questions about TROLLULL
What grades of TROLLULL steel wool are available?
TROLLULL is available in 9 grades: 5 (extra coarse), 4 (coarse), 3 (medium coarse), 2 (medium), 1 (medium fine), 0 (fine), 00 (extra fine), 000 (super fine) and 0000 (ultra-fine). Coarse grades suit rust and paint removal; fine grades suit finishing and polishing.
Which grade should I use for woodworking finishes?
Use grade 000 or 0000 for rubbing down between coats of lacquer, shellac or varnish. Grade 0000 is ideal for applying wax polish — it works the wax into the grain while leaving a silky smooth surface.
Can TROLLULL steel wool be used on glass?
Yes. Fine TROLLULL steel wool (grade 0000) is safe to use on glass for removing paint splashes, adhesive residue and stubborn marks. TROLLULL also produces dedicated glass cleaning products.
Where is TROLLULL steel wool made?
TROLLULL has Norwegian origins and is manufactured in Germany. It has been in production since the 1930s and is the number one steel wool brand in the UK, Ireland and Scandinavia.
Does steel wool cause rust marks on wood?
If steel wool fragments are left on the surface and exposed to moisture, they can cause dark staining on tannin-rich timbers like oak. Always wipe the surface thoroughly after use. For oak finishing, some professionals prefer bronze wool or synthetic abrasive pads as an alternative.
