DUO TONE VEGETABLE BRUSHES | GENERAL CLEANING BRUSHES - with half agave fiber, half mixed agave and palmyra fibers. Better for heavier duty cleaning to get that strong scrubbing power. Multipurpose. Longevity: Each brush can be used for 1-3 months or longer depending on frequency of usage and proper storage. Make sure to not submerge or soak the wooden parts in water. Hang to dry or place in a dry spot after using it. Why it matters: Plastic bristle scrub brushes shed tiny pieces of plastic called micro plastics. Unfortunately these tiny plastic pieces are not filtered out fully by sewage treatment. So when you hear about the "Great Pacific Garbage Patch" the majority of this garbage patch in the Pacific Ocean is actually tiny pieces of plastic that aren't even visible to the human eye. These tiny plastic pieces are being eaten by marine animals and ending up in the food chain, being consumed by humans in sushi restaurants around the globe! And if you're vegan, they are ending up in our tap water too. Help us turn off the plastic tap and choose a more sustainable option for humans and the planet.

The young shoots are often prepared into Asian dishes. The plant fiber bristles are made from agave fiber. Lightly coated with non-toxic wood coating to reduce cracking and splitting.
