Kamenoko Tawashi Cleaning Brush

No, we do not recommend using this brush on non-stick surfaces. The stiff coconut and hemp palm fibers are abrasive and can scratch or damage delicate non-stick coatings.

Yes, it is excellent for scrubbing root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and ginger. The stiff bristles effectively remove dirt and debris from crevices without damaging the vegetable skin.

After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly to remove food particles and squeeze out excess water. Store it in a well-ventilated area, preferably hanging or standing on its side, to allow the natural fibers to dry completely between uses.

While the fibers are naturally durable and stiff, they may soften slightly with consistent use and exposure to water. However, they will retain their scrubbing power for a long time compared to synthetic sponges.

We advise against using this brush on delicate glassware or fine china. Its heavy-duty, stiff texture is designed for stubborn grime on durable cookware and cast iron, and it may cause micro-scratches on fragile surfaces.
