Green Llama Dish Scrub Brush

Yes, the stiff sisal bristles are excellent for cleaning cast iron. They are firm enough to remove stuck-on food residue without stripping away your pan's seasoning.

No, this brush is not dishwasher safe. The bamboo handle can crack or warp if exposed to the high heat and prolonged moisture of a dishwasher cycle; we recommend hand washing and air drying it instead.

To keep the bamboo in good condition, avoid leaving the brush sitting in a pool of water. After use, rinse it thoroughly and store it bristle-side down or hanging so the handle can dry completely between uses.

While the bristles are stiff, they are effective for scrubbing hardy produce like potatoes, carrots, or beets. We would advise against using them on delicate items like tomatoes or soft fruits.

With daily use, the sisal bristles typically remain effective for several months. You will know it is time for a replacement when the bristles begin to fray significantly or lose their stiffness.
