Imported from Mexico for us by the badass zero waste sisters Aidee and Mónica over at VOLVERde. From the sisters over at VOLVERde: "This agave fiber brush is a multipurpose tool that is beautiful, functional and reminds us of our abuelita’s kitchen. Beyond nostalgia, this brush is so handy. The hard-textured bristles provide an effective clean, without scratching surfaces. Use for home cleaning, as a vegetable wash or to wash your molcajetes, mortars, pots, pans and anything cast iron. Unlike plastic, the agave fibers on this brush will not melt on hot surfaces. These natural household items are made with love by an indigenous-owned cooperative dedicated to the sustainable and artisanal production of brushes and sponges from vegetable fibers, such as agave henequén, agave lechuguilla, and ixtle de maguey. For over 25 years, the community has produced personal and home care products while employing local artisans, mostly women.The products are made using 100% natural fibers obtained from different parts of Mexico. Each item is handmade by artisans, carvers, and weavers, creating a bond of a sustainable economy. They also take great care to source raw materials sustainably: the wood is up-cycled from furniture makers’ scraps, and fibers are harvested sustainably according to ancestral traditions that have allowed agave plants to flourish for millennia." Care & Use: Rinse after use, allow to dry out in between uses. Brush will benefit from an occasional dip in white vinegar to sanitize. RIP at end of product life brush is fully compostable.
