Miya Company Black Lion Tawashi Palm Brush — Set of 2

A staple in Japanese homes for over 100 years, these traditional tools made from tightly bound palm fibers are used primarily for cleaning fruits and vegetables as well as pots and pans without damaging their surfaces. Each brush is carefully tied and finished by hand and comes with a metal drying hook. The brushes bristles soften slightly when wet and are easily rinsed when you’re done cleaning. And the thing we love most about this brush is the smaller size— not only is it easier to grip, but smaller means it can better reach nooks and crannies. It’s tough on cooked-on food, but gentle enough to use on glass, enamel, nonstick, clay, cast iron and carbon steel surfaces. It can also be used with just warm water to scrub natural clay cookware that generally should not be cleaned with soap (so the soap smell doesn’t get absorbed by the porous clay). We recommend using a wash basin and solid soap (if you need to use soap for dishes and such) to create the best lather. Some discoloration of the dishwater is natural and will wash away cleanly. Set of two.
