FABLE Tawashi Brush

A Tawashi is a traditional Japanese scrubbing brush made from natural, stiff fibers. Unlike a sponge, which absorbs water and can harbor bacteria, this brush is designed for abrasive, manual scrubbing, making it far more effective at removing stuck-on food or cleaning root vegetables.

We do not recommend using this brush on delicate non-stick surfaces. The natural fibers are quite stiff and could scratch or degrade non-stick coatings over time; it is best suited for cast iron, stainless steel, or enameled cookware.

After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly to remove food debris and shake out excess water. Store it in a dry, well-ventilated area so the natural fibers can dry completely between uses, which prevents mold and extends the life of the brush.

Yes, its stiff bristles make it excellent for scrubbing root vegetables like potatoes, carrots, and beets. While it is primarily designed for the kitchen, its abrasive texture is also effective for general household cleaning tasks where you need a bit of extra scrubbing power.

With regular daily use, you can expect the brush to last several months. Because it is made from biodegradable materials, the fibers will eventually soften or wear down, signaling that it is time to compost the brush and replace it.
