Swedish Dish Brush, Horsehair & Tampico
£19.50
Ex Tax: £16.25
An oiled birch dish brush with a blend of horsehair and tampico fibre. Tampico is a vegetable fibre harvested from the Agave Lechugilla, a plant originally native to the parched highland deserts of northern Mexico, and is slightly stiffer than horsehair — the combination creates a brush which gives a gentle but thorough clean. These brushes come from the workshops of Iris Hantverk in Sweden where visually impaired craftsmen find employment in the manufacture of wonderful brushes. About 30cm 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 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.
