Know before you buy
Each purchase includes a set of two hedgehog boot brushes, allowing you to place one at your front door and another at your back door.
Yes, the cast iron construction is durable enough for outdoor placement. However, because they contain wood and natural coco fibers, we recommend keeping them in a covered area to extend their lifespan and prevent weathering.
You can easily clean the brushes by rinsing them with water. Ensure they are allowed to air dry completely after cleaning to maintain the integrity of the wooden base.
The cast iron frames are heavy and sturdy, which helps keep them in place. If you are concerned about delicate surfaces, you may want to place them on a small outdoor mat or rug to prevent potential scuffing.
