Description

A twisted shape that makes it easy to grip and clean, shuro tawashi are traditional cleaning brushes made from the bark of the windmill palm tree, known for its natural durability, elasticity, and water resistance. Originating in Japan over 100 years ago, this handmade, eco-friendly scrubber is domestically produced using native Japanese trees. Due to the soft and flexible plant fibers, they are unlikely to scratch or damage surfaces.

Try your Kitayama Shuro Tawashi Scrub Brush when washing dishes or ceramics, cleaning vegetables, spot-cleaning clothes, or doing some personal exfoliation in a gentle circular motion. Available in a Long, Standard Scrub Brush variant.
