Raw willow dishbrush
£15.00
Ex Tax: £12.50
A raw unstripped steam bent willow and golden tampico fibre dish brush handmade by the crafts people of a Finnish visually impaired workers cooperative. Tampico is a moderately stiff vegetable fibre harvested from an agave found only in the Chihuahuan desert. The fibres have a microscopically barbed surface, which helps hold water for more effective cleaning and rinsing, and lends them a gentle polishing action, a characteristic exploited in their traditional use for polishing metals. Very roughly 25cm in 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 dish soap 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.
