Eco Brush Short

This eco-brush is made from 100% natural materials, including bamboo and sisal. It's a sustainable, biodegradable cleaning tool that returns to the soil after use. The handle is made from organic bamboo, which grows quickly and has excellent regenerative properties, while the bristles are made from plant-based sisal, and it's completely plastic-free. It's the perfect product for anyone looking to make choices in their daily lives that put as little strain on the environment as possible.

Its wide range of uses include cleaning dishes, pans, pots, and other kitchen utensils, as well as the sink, stove, bathroom, and even hand-washing clothes and shoes. Its soft, firm sisal brush head can be used safely on non-stick cookware. Tested by a third-party organization, it has been confirmed that it can be used without damaging the surfaces of pans and pots.

*No two pieces of natural wood have the same grain, and each piece is unique in terms of color and mottling. In order to help protect forests, we ask that you enjoy the unique flavor and individuality of natural wood and understand this.

How do I care for it?

Storage method

Because it is made from natural materials and does not contain any preservatives, insecticides, or mold inhibitors, storing it in a damp place for a long time may cause mold to grow in the bamboo part. After use, drain it thoroughly and store it with the brush facing downwards, making sure not to submerge the bamboo part in water.

(Please note that keeping it constantly wet can cause mold.)



Care instructions

If you want it to last longer, try the following:

- Avoid direct sunlight and dry thoroughly in a well-ventilated place.

- You can prevent mold from growing by wiping it with citric acid or vinegar to sterilize it.

- If you apply beeswax or olive oil to it thoroughly, it will last even longer.

What to do if mold appears?

If it is mildew, wipe it off lightly with a cloth if it is only on the surface.

If black mold grows, lightly scrape the surface with a file or similar.

It is difficult to completely prevent mold growth when used in a humid environment, so even if black mold grows, you can still use it as is, as long as it is not used to clean tiles or anything that comes into contact with your mouth.
