You can as either abrasive is just putting a finer scratch pattern in the brass. However, it seems that the scotch brite is a little more consistent in scratch size. I have found it is increasingly harder to get quality steel wool, the QC is just not there anymore. That and the scotchbrite will not leave tiny slivers of steel to get trapped in every nook and cranny, especially in exposed wood grain.
