Moso bamboo brush, with stiff agave fibre (vegan) plant bristles. New design! Still fits our earlier design heads.

This removable-head dish brush has a Moso Bamboo handle and brush head, with stiff agave fibre (vegan) plant bristles. It is held together with silver metal wire and includes a small wire loop at the end for hanging dry. It replaces plastic-handled dish brushes and can be used to wash general dishes as well as to loosen stuck-on food.

Why It Matters

Plastic bristle brushes shed tiny pieces of plastic called microplastics. 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. 

Features

• Materials: Wooden brush handle, casa agave bristles, stainless steel connector
• The Moso Bamboo we use is a fast-growing grass and is not the type eaten by giant pandas. FSC certified by TÜV SÜD Czech, Prague
• CASA AGAVE™ fibre bristles are grown, harvested, sun-dried and processed in Mexico using traditional techniques to ensure high quality and strong natural fibre
• To replace the brush head, squeeze the wires together, loosen the metal grip, and pop off the brush head. Just slide a new brush head on and replace the metal grip that holds it tight

Product Care

• To reduce cracking, keep the bamboo parts dry and do not soak or submerge them in water. Cracking is normal for brushes over time. They are biodegradable and won't last forever like plastic!
• The brush head is fully replaceable so when it is worn out, slide it out from the metal wire and replace the head. Keep reusing the handle until it is worn out. Don't apply undue pressure on the handle or it will break
• If you find your brush head is not staying dry, dip the bristles in vinegar occasionally to help kill bacteria. The wood and bamboo are naturally antibacterial but the vinegar will help too
• Each brush head can be used for months. Continue using until the bristles no longer work or the brush head falls apart, then compost or bury it in the garden or dispose of it in a green waste bin
• Stop using the brush and replace it if you see any mould growth
