Discover the perfect eco-friendly alternative to plastic dishwashing and vegetable brushes with our versatile dish brush, designed for use in both the kitchen and home.

Featuring a bamboo handle and medium-weight sisal fiber bristles, this brush is specifically crafted for general dishwashing needs. Say goodbye to plastic dish brushes as our sustainable option seamlessly takes their place.

Not just limited to dishes, our brush excels at loosening stuck-on food, making it a reliable choice for everyday use. For those tougher challenges like stubborn residues and heavy stains, consider our pot scrubber. Its stiffer plant fiber bristles are expertly designed to tackle even the heaviest grit.

The multi-purpose nature of this hand brush extends beyond dishes; it's also perfect for giving vegetables a thorough scrub. Embrace an all-in-one solution for your kitchen and home cleaning needs with our bamboo-handled dish brush.

Longevity: Each brush can be used for 3-6 months. Make sure to not submerge or soak the wooden parts in water. Hang to dry or place in a dry spot after using it.

If you find your brush is not staying dry, dip the bristles in vinegar occasionally to help kill bacteria. The bamboo is naturally antibacterial but the vinegar will help too.

Continue using this brush until the bristles no longer work, then compost or bury in the garden or dispose of in a green waste bin. Stop using the brush and replace it if you see any mold growth.

Storage and Care: To reduce cracking, keep the bamboo parts dry and do not soak or submerge them in water. Cracking is normal for wooden brushes if you tend to get the wooden parts very wet. You can oil your brushes to reduce the potential of cracking if you regularly submerge your dish brushes in water. 

Place in a completely dry spot: Hang to dry or place in a completely dry spot after using it. Do not rest the brush on top of your solid dish soap between dish washing sessions, the natural bristles will wick up excess water and cause the handle to crack. 

Watch out for: Some companies have "sustainable" brushes that have plastic bristles. Our handles are bamboo and our bristles are made out of agave fiber, making this brush 100% compostable.

Use with the DISH BLOCK®: Keep in mind that when using the DISH BLOCK®, a soft sponge on most dishes is ideal for best longevity. If you use a hard bristle brush on all dishes, you will wear down the DISH BLOCK® faster than a sponge and might dig a hole in the middle of the soap. 

Why it matters: Plastic bristle scrub brushes shed tiny pieces of plastic called micro plastics. Unfortunately these tiny plastic pieces are not filtered out fully by sewage treatment. So when you hear about the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" the majority of this garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean is actually tiny pieces of plastic that aren't even visible to the human eye.

These tiny plastic pieces are being eaten by marine animals and ending up in the food chain, being consumed by humans in sushi restaurants around the globe! And if you're vegan, they are ending up in our tap water too. Help us turn off the plastic tap and choose a more sustainable option for humans and the planet. 

Sustainability: Bamboo, known as the giant bamboo or timber bamboo, has been used for centuries to fashion buildings, flooring and culinary tools. The young shoots are often prepared into Asian dishes.
