Know before you buy
No, the horse hair bristles are naturally soft and gentle. They are designed to clean effectively without leaving scratches or marks on sensitive surfaces.
The Vardag dish brush is designed with a replaceable head. You can purchase a refill separately and easily swap it out, allowing you to keep the beech wood handle for a longer period.
To maintain the wood, avoid leaving the brush soaking in water for extended periods. After use, shake off excess water and hang the brush or store it in a dry place to allow the wood and bristles to air dry completely.
While the horse hair is gentle, it is best suited for daily dishwashing and lighter cleaning tasks. For heavy-duty, stuck-on food, you may prefer a stiffer brush, as the Vardag is optimized for delicate and everyday maintenance.
Iris Hantverk maintains a long-standing tradition of employing visually impaired craftspeople in Sweden and Estonia to hand-craft their brushes. This process ensures high-quality construction and supports a unique, artisanal manufacturing heritage.
