This sustainable Casa Agave™, moso bamboo dish brush is a fantastic alternative to plastic dish brushes in the kitchen! Great at washing dishes as well as loosening stuck on food. It features a removeable-head so you can reuse the handle over and over again and a small wire loop at the end for hanging to dry.
Longevity: Each brush head can be used for 1-3 months or longer. Make sure to not submerge or soak the bamboo parts in water. Hang to dry or place in a dry spot after using it. If you find your brush head 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 or the brush head falls apart, 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 mould 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 brushes over time. They are biodegradable and won't last forever like plastic! The brush head is fully replaceable so when it's 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.
Replacing the brush head: The first time, it is a little stiff to bend the wires and you may need to use a pair of pliers to loosen it. (use caution). The subsequent times, you can use strong fingers to 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.
Materials: The removable-head dish brush has a bamboo handle and brush head, with stiff agave fiber (vegan) plant bristles. It is held together with silver metal wire, and a small wire loop at the end.
Size: 23cm total length, 19cm handle, 5cm in diameter
