Know before you buy
Yes, the horsehair bristles are soft and gentle, making them ideal for cleaning delicate glassware, cups, and fine ceramics without leaving scratches.
No, this brush is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher can damage the oil-treated birch wood handle and compromise the natural bristles.
To preserve the wood, avoid soaking the brush in water for long periods. After each use, shake off excess water and allow the brush to air dry in a well-ventilated area with the bristles facing down.
No, the brush head is not replaceable. Because it is a single-piece, handmade tool, you will need to replace the entire brush once the bristles have worn down.
While the soft bristles are excellent for general cleaning and delicate items, they are not designed for heavy-duty scrubbing of burnt-on or stubborn food residue. For tougher messes, you may need a brush with stiffer, synthetic or plant-based fibers.
