Takada Tawashi Palm Brush

Yes. The natural palm fibers are firm but pliable. When used with a light touch, they effectively remove dirt from root vegetables without damaging the skin. When you apply more pressure, the fibers provide the necessary friction to scour stubborn residue from cast iron pans or wooden cutting boards.

Because it is made of natural fibers, proper drying is essential. After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly to remove food particles and squeeze out excess water. Always hang it by the attached loop in a well-ventilated area to ensure it dries completely between uses.

No, this brush is not dishwasher safe. The high heat and intense water cycles of a dishwasher will degrade the natural palm fibers and weaken the construction. Hand washing and air drying are the only recommended maintenance methods.

The Medium size is the most versatile for everyday kitchen tasks, such as scrubbing pots, pans, and produce. If you primarily need a brush for heavy-duty scouring of large surfaces, the Large size offers more surface area, while the Small size is best for precision cleaning or smaller hands.

We do not recommend using this brush on non-stick surfaces. The palm fibers are stiff and can create micro-scratches on delicate non-stick coatings over time. It is best reserved for cast iron, stainless steel, wood, and ceramic surfaces.
