A beautiful wooden washing-up brush that makes everyday washing up a breeze. This brush is made entirely from vegan and biodegradable materials. The beautifully curved shaft is made of oiled beech wood and the soft, natural bristles are made of horsehair. The brush is made in Germany in a small family-owned company that has produced brushes for several generations. This dishwashing brush is the perfect "zero waste" and plastic-free alternative to synthetic brushes and sponges. Did you know that a plastic dishwashing brush sheds hair that can end up in the sea? Our Simple Goods dishwashing brushes are made from natural and 100% biodegradable materials. We recommend that the shaft be re-bandaged with oil and that the brush be hung to dry after use.
