Go Bamboo Veggie Scrubber

Go Bamboo Veggie and Pot Scrubber 

The go bamboo veggie and pot scrubber helps you replace plastic pot scrubbers in the kitchen! This scrub brush is made from bamboo with bass fibre bristles. A zero waste product. 

Replaces: plastic scrub brushes. Designed for  cleaning both your veggies as well as your pots and pans. Can be used on non-stick pans, just be more gentle with it.  

Longevity: Each brush can be used for 1-3 months or longer. Do not leave any of the wood parts soaking in water, the wood will absorb water and it will cause the wood to swell and crack. Hang to dry or place in a dry spot after using it.

If you find your brush is not staying dry, dip the bristles in vinegar occasionally to help kill bacteria. The bamboo is naturally antibacterial but the vinegar will help too.

Continue using this brush until the bristles no longer work, then compost or bury in garden or dispose in a green waste bin. Stop using the brush and replace it if you see any mould growth.

Storage and Care: To reduce cracking, keep the wood parts dry and do not soak or submerge them in water. You can oil your brushes to reduce the potential of cracking if you regularly submerge your dish brushes in water. 

Using with the No Tox Life Dish Block®: Keep in mind that when using the No Tox Life Dish Block®, a soft sponge on most dishes is ideal for best longevity. If you use a hard bristle brush on all dishes, you will wear down the Dish Block® faster than a sponge and might dig a hole in the middle of the block. 

End of life: Once worn out, the wood and plant fiber parts can be composted or buried in the garden.

Why it matters: Plastic bristle scrub brushes shed tiny pieces of plastic called micro plastics. Unfortunately these tiny plastic pieces are not filtered out fully by sewage treatment. So when you hear about the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" the majority of this garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean is actually tiny pieces of plastic that aren't even visible to the human eye.

These tiny plastic pieces are being eaten by marine animals and ending up in the food chain, being consumed by humans in sushi restaurants around the globe! And if you're vegan, they are ending up in our tap water too. Help us turn off the plastic tap and choose a more sustainable option for humans and the planet. 

Sustainability: Bamboo, known as the giant bamboo or timber bamboo, has been used for centuries to fashion buildings, flooring and culinary tools. The young shoots are often prepared into Asian dishes. It is a fast-growing grass and we use the species of plant that is not eaten by giant pandas.
