The perfect all-natural alternative to the plastic sponge and scrubber? Without a doubt, Japan's traditional plant-based scrubbing brush, the tawashi. Handcrafted from the finest windmill palm fibers sourced in the Wakayama region, Takada's sustainable brush will help effortlessly scour your ceramics and your pots and pans without scratching them. Effective and durable, it's also soft enough for cleaning fruits and vegetables while keeping the skins intact.
