Takada Tawashi Palm Brush

We do not recommend using the Tawashi brush on delicate non-stick coatings, as the natural palm fibers are firm and may cause micro-scratches. It is best suited for cast iron, stainless steel, enamelware, and heavy-duty cleaning tasks.

After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly to remove food particles and soap residue. Shake off excess water and hang it by the integrated loop in a well-ventilated area to ensure it dries completely between uses.

Yes, the fibers are firm enough to scrub away dirt from root vegetables like potatoes and carrots without damaging the produce. Just be sure to rinse the brush well after any cleaning task to keep it hygienic.

The high heat and prolonged moisture exposure in a dishwasher will cause the natural palm fibers to degrade, lose their shape, and potentially harbor bacteria. Hand washing and air drying are essential to maintaining the integrity of the natural materials.

It is normal for a few loose fibers to shed when the brush is brand new, as it is a natural, handcrafted product. This shedding will stop quickly after the first few uses as the brush settles into its shape.
