Casa Agave™ sustainable dish brush swap helps you replace plastic dish brushes in the kitchen!

This removable-head dish brush is made with with stiff agave fiber (vegan) plant bristles. It is held together with silver metal wire, and includes a small wire loop at the end for hanging dry.

For the handle and head, we use Moso bamboo, known as the giant bamboo or timber bamboo. This fast-growing grass is actually not made of wood. It is a durable and rapid-growth grass native to Southeast Asia. It has been used for centuries to fashion buildings, flooring and culinary tools. The young shoots are often prepared into Asian dishes. 

Replaces: plastic handled dish brushes. Can be used to wash general dishes as well as to loosen stuck on food. 

Longevity: Each brush head can be used for 1-3 months. Make sure to not submerge or soak the wooden parts in water. Hang to dry or place in a dry spot after using it.

If you find your brush head is not staying dry, dip the bristles in vinegar occasionally to help kill bacteria. The Moso bamboo is naturally antibacterial but the vinegar will help too.

Continue using this brush until the bristles no longer work or the brush head falls apart, then compost or bury in garden or dispose in a green waste bin. Stop using the brush and replace it if you see any mold growth.

Storage and Care: To reduce cracking, keep the bamboo parts dry and do not soak or submerge them in water. Cracking is normal for brushes over time. They are biodegradeable and won't last forever like plastic!

The brush head is fully replaceable so when it's worn out, slide it out from the metal wire and replace the head. Keep reusing the handle until it is worn out. Don't apply undue pressure on the handle or it will break.
