Essence of Life Organics Dish Brush

Yes, the sisal bristles are firm enough to scrub away food residue but gentle enough to use on most non-stick surfaces without scratching. However, we always recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned.

No, this brush is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and moisture of a dishwasher can cause the natural bamboo handle to crack or warp over time. It is best to hand wash the brush and let it air dry completely between uses.

To prolong the life of your brush, store it with the bristles facing down or hanging so that water can drain away from the bamboo handle. Keeping the handle dry prevents mold and ensures the wood remains sturdy.

The sisal bristles have a medium firmness, making them ideal for everyday dishwashing and light-to-medium scrubbing tasks. While they handle stuck-on food well, they may not be aggressive enough for burnt-on, heavy-duty messes that require steel wool.

Since the brush is made from natural bamboo and sisal, the head is fully compostable. Once the bristles are worn down, you can remove the head and add it to your compost bin, keeping the waste out of landfills.
