The smallest swaps often make the biggest difference. Trading a plastic dish brush for a natural one is exactly that sort of change, and the Simple Things dish brush makes it an easy, good-looking one. It is one of our favourite everyday essentials in our kitchen collection. Natural by design This brush pairs a natural wooden handle with a 50mm head of tampico fibre, a robust natural material drawn from the agave plant. It is the kind of honest, pared-back piece that earns its place on the bench rather than being hidden under the sink. Built to work, and to last Tampico has wonderful water-retaining properties and is genuinely hard-wearing, holding its shape without softening over time. The fibre has tiny hooks along each shaft, which gives it a natural, gently abrasive quality, perfect for lifting residue from dishes, pots and pans without scratching. Best of all, the head is replaceable, so when it eventually wears you simply swap in a fresh tampico replacement head rather than tossing the whole thing away. A natural cleaning set If you are slowly moving towards a plastic-free kitchen, this brush sits beautifully alongside our Good Change wooden dish brush and the wider Ecomax natural brush range, so you can build a coordinated, sustainable set over time. Frequently asked questions What is tampico fibre? It is a natural, durable fibre from the agave plant, prized for being water-retaining, hard-wearing and naturally abrasive without being harsh.
