Hand-made in Sri Lanka, the LoofCo Kitchen Brush is from coconut coir fibre twisted around a galvanised rust-proof metal core. Coir is the fibrous material found beneath the matured brown coconut husk. Its unique properties make it ideal for making brushes. The robust circular ‘donut\' shape of this brush makes it easy to grip and the handy cotton hanging loop means the brush can hang up to dry between uses. This brush is long lasting in normal use and when worn out the fibres are biodegradable and the core can be recycled. 10cm in diameter Easy to grip Vegan Plastic Free To Use: Rinse thoroughly before first use. Immerse in warm water and use with detergent, washing-up liquid or LoofCo Washing-Up Soap. Strong enough for cleaning around the kitchen and larger washing-up items. After use, rinse and shake out excess water and any food particles and hang to dry from the string loop. Occasionally soak in hot water with washing-up liquid and air dry to freshen brush.
