Kamenoko Tawashi Scrub Brush

No, we do not recommend using the Kamenoko Tawashi on non-stick surfaces. The natural palm fibers are quite stiff and can scratch or damage delicate non-stick coatings over time.

After each use, rinse the brush thoroughly with water and shake off excess moisture. Store it in a well-ventilated area, ideally hanging or standing on its side, to ensure it dries completely between uses.

Generally, no. While the fibers are stiff, they are designed for scrubbing grime and root vegetables without marring durable surfaces like stainless steel, cast iron, or ceramic. However, always test a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about a specific finish.

This brush is best suited for root vegetables like carrots, potatoes, and burdock, where the stiff bristles can easily remove dirt and skin. It is likely too abrasive for soft-skinned produce and could damage the flesh.

Because it is handmade from durable natural fibers, it is built for longevity. With proper care and regular drying, a single brush can last several months of daily use before the fibers begin to soften or wear down.
