Handcrafted means that there are many hands workin

Handcrafted means that there are many hands working to perfect your ECOMAX Brush, there are hands gathering the fibres, hands twisting the fibre, hands to shape the twisted fibres as desired, hands to trim the stray bits poking out, hands to tie the label and pack the brush for shipping. It takes more than one person to craft your brush and we thank each and every one of them for the amazing work that they do💚

The Eco Max Kitchen Scrubber is a great little too

The Eco Max Kitchen Scrubber is a great little tool for your home, it is the long lasting, plastic-free, natural-fibre alternative to the grubby, green nylon scourer.

Twisting of the fibres for our ECOMAX Brushes is a

Twisting of the fibres for our ECOMAX Brushes is an art form, it takes a deft hand to know how to get the tension just right as one twist too many and the wire can snap, one twist less and the fibres can pull free.

These twisted fibres are going on to become a dish brush, there are still many more hands to pass through before it is ready for your dishes.

First the fibres will be trimmed to make sure they are even, they will then be shaped to form the brush head, next they will need a handle and then a final trim to make sure nothing is out of place.

Then it will be ready to scrub, scrub, scrub
