Michaels Orginals products are handmade on Michael's Family Farm, are fairly traded & 100% biodegradable. Made with fibre from the Sago palm tree, this unique washing-up brush is tough enough to replace plastic alternatives & is ideal for scrubbing pots, pans & cutlery. It is double-ended & for really tough scrubbing use the top of the brush. After use, rinse & hang from its string loop to air-dry. This brush sits alongside the Michaels Originals Washing up range, & works brillantly with the original Washing up Luffa Scouring Pad. If everyone used Micheals Originals natural cleaning products instead of plastic alternatives it is estimated we would avoid the equivalent of 150 double-decker buses of non-biodegradable landfill a year. Your purchase supports organic farming practices & communities in the Philippines. Lasts approx 12 months
