It's crafted by hand using coconut coir fiber wrapped around a sturdy galvanized steel core, complete with a convenient metal hanging loop. Size: 10 x 7cm (excluding loop) These handheld brushes are easy to grasp and maneuver. Coir, derived from the fibrous material beneath matured brown coconut husks, boasts unique qualities that render it perfect for brush-making. To get started, give the brush a thorough rinse before its inaugural use. While it may seem a tad rough in its dry state, a warm water soak will swiftly soften the bristles, priming it for action. Pair it with warm water, your favorite washing-up liquid, or our specially designed Washing-Up Soap. These brushes are robust enough for tackling stubborn pans yet nimble enough to delve into delicate cups. From crockery to cutlery, pans to woks, they excel at cleaning a variety of kitchen essentials. After each use, rinse the brush, shake out any excess water and food debris, then hang it to dry from the trusty metal loop. Periodically, indulge it in a hot water bath with washing-up liquid to keep it fresh and ready for action. And fear not, these brushes are built to last under normal conditions. Once they've served their time, the biodegradable fibers ensure an eco-friendly farewell, while the core can be recycled.
