It’s a question we often encounter: “Why does my brush head have mould?” And it’s a really simple answer: nature is doing its job!
yesēco brush heads are made of natural bamboo, which gives them their beautiful aesthetic and means they’re biodegradable. The first step in the process of wood breaking down is… you got it, mould.
If mould has started on your brush head, we recommend using a mix of white vinegar, dish soap and a thick dose of sunshine to refresh your dish brush. See our step-by-step guide below to get your brush looking its best self again…
Removing Mould with Vinegar:
- Fill a cup with Distilled White Vinegar, enough for the entire dish brush head to be covered.
- Add a dash of liquid soap or dishwash liquid.
- Immerse your wooden brush in the solution for 10 minutes (15 minutes max).
- Remove and rinse with hot water.
- Dry the brush in direct sunlight to maximise mould elimination.
