Coconut Husk Dish Brush, Plastic-Free

Eco-friendly and handmade dish brush made from natural coconut husk 

A plastic-free dish brush with stiff, natural coconut husk bristles that scrub through dried-on food, pots, pans and baking trays. It’s a simple swap for the plastic dish brushes that end up in landfill.

The bristles are coir, the coarse fibre from the outer husk of the coconut, a by-product of the coconut industry. The fibres are twisted between galvanised wire and fixed to a sustainable timber handle, so the brush holds together and won’t rust. Handmade in Sri Lanka.

Coconut fibre is firm enough for cast iron and stainless steel but won’t scratch like a metal scourer. Avoid using it on non-stick coatings. When the bristles wear down, the coconut fibre and wooden handle can go in your home compost, and the wire can be recycled with scrap metal.

To make it last, rinse well after each use, shake out the water and hang it to dry. Letting it dry fully between uses stops the fibres going soft or musty. Sold unpackaged, with nothing to throw away.
