Compostable dish brushes made from bamboo and sisal – tough on grime, easy on the planet.

  • 4 x 3 x 3 inches
  • Biodegradable and home compostable
  • Plastic-free + non-toxic
  • Ethically sourced
  • Gives back through 1% for the Planet

DIRECTIONS + CARE +

❶ For daily use: Dampen the brush and swirl it across your solid dish soap, or add a bit of liquid soap to the bristles. Wash and rinse dishes as usual. After use, rinse the brush and place it in a dry, well-ventilated spot to allow the bristles to dry completely. Avoid letting it sit in water or on top of your dish soap.

❷ To sanitize: Do not put it in the dishwasher—high heat and moisture can warp or split the wood. Instead, rinse thoroughly and soak the bristles briefly in hydrogen peroxide or vinegar. Shake out and let air dry fully.

❸ End of life: Once your brush has reached the end of its useful life, it’s easy to dispose of without guilt. Use pliers to remove the bristles if needed, then compost all parts. This dish brush will break down naturally over time in a home compost bin or pile—leaving nothing behind.

Compostable Dish Brush

The ergonomic handle is comfortable to grip and thoughtfully balanced, while the medium-stiff agave fiber bristles scrub stuck-on food without damaging delicate dishware. Each brush is heat-stamped with our brand mark—an homage to the alchemical symbol for Earth—highlighting our commitment to sustainability from top to bottom.

Durable and Fully Compostable

With daily use and proper care (always store bristle-side down to dry), each brush lasts 1–6 months. When it’s time for a new one, compost the entire thing—no plastic, no landfill waste. This is planet-first dishwashing, simplified.

Handy Tips + Tricks

Beyond the Dishes

Your brush isn’t just for dishware—use it to scrub your sink, stovetop, or counters (just test delicate surfaces first). One tool, many uses.

Sanitize Naturally

To freshen your brush, soak the bristles in white vinegar or hydrogen peroxide for a few minutes, then rinse and let dry bristles-down—easy and effective.

Condition for Longevity

Keep your bamboo handle looking its best by rubbing in a small amount of olive oil now and then. It helps repel moisture and extends the life of the brush.

amazing brush

definitely can’t go back to using a dish cloth or sponge after this! this brush works very well and using it with the solid dish soap makes washing dishes so fun! has a very slight umami smell out of the package, but it goes away after about a week and doesn’t spread to the dishes :)
