Know before you buy
Yes, the Zacaton grass root fibers are medium-duty and gentle enough to use on enamel and porcelain without causing scratches.
No, this whisk is not dishwasher safe. To clean it, simply rinse the fibers thoroughly with warm water and allow it to air dry completely between uses.
The natural fibers are quite effective at scrubbing away stubborn messes. While it is not as abrasive as a metal scouring pad, it provides enough texture to handle most everyday kitchen cleaning tasks.
This model does not include a handle or a hanging loop. It is designed as a compact, handheld whisk that fits comfortably in the palm of your hand.
To maintain the integrity of the natural fibers, store the whisk in a dry, well-ventilated area. Avoid leaving it submerged in water or sitting in a damp sink, as this will shorten the lifespan of the natural materials.
