The classic
The everyday one
The simple classic scrubber for dishes, pans, vegetables, sinks and general kitchen use.
Natural coconut fibre cleaning brushes
Meet the little scrubber with tortoise energy.
Tawashi brushes are tough, simple, plastic-free cleaning brushes made from natural coconut coir. Use them for dishes, pans, sinks, root vegetables, mugs, glassware and all the awkward everyday cleaning jobs that usually chew through plastic sponges.

What is a tawashi brush?
A small natural scrub brush with a very useful job.
A tawashi is a traditional Japanese-style scrubbing brush. The classic Kamenoko Tawashi name is commonly understood as “baby tortoise scrubber”, which gives us a lovely little reason for the tortoise idea without making the brush itself look strange.
Proper scrub power
Made from coconut fibre
Coconut coir is naturally tough, springy and fibrous, which makes it excellent for scrubbing without relying on plastic sponge foam.
More than dishes
Useful all over the home
Dishes, pans, sinks, mugs, vegetables, plant pots, cool boxes and general mucky jobs are all fair game.
Low-fuss swap
Simple, durable and practical
Rinse it, hang it, use it again. A tawashi brush is one of those small swaps that earns its place because it actually works.
Why people swap
Less sponge waste. More actual scrubbing.
Plastic sponges can go tired, smelly and sad quite quickly. A tawashi brush is firmer, longer-lasting and better suited to the jobs where you need a bit of proper friction.
- Scrub pans without a plastic scouring pad.
- Clean muddy potatoes, carrots and root veg.
- Get into mugs, glasses, bowls and awkward corners.
- Keep one for dishes and one for dirtier household jobs.
Where to use one
Not just washing up. Though it is very good at that.
The humble tawashi brush is one of those small everyday swaps that earns its place because it is genuinely useful.
Kitchen hero

A familiar feel
With a handle
