Dish Brush, Finnish Black Birch & Horsehair
£16.50
Ex Tax: £13.75
A hand bound dushbrush of blackened boreal birch stitched to 40% dark horsehair blend bristles by the crafts people of a Finnish visually impaired workers cooperative. The blackening of the birch helps provide improved water resistance, as well as disguising any stains the wood might in time develop, whilst the horsehair blend stiffened and supported by hardwearing tritex gives a moderately stiff dish cleaner somewhere between our pure horse and tampico alternatives. About 28cm total length.
Care Advice
Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little shampoo and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting. Note that clothes moths will go for animal fibre brushes in the same way that they will for animal fibre clothes. Keep brushes in a dust free environment, and treat surfaces with cedar oil to repel them.
