4 Simple & Sustainable Dish Scrubbers

1. All Natural Coconut Fiber Sponge by Safix | Made in India

Biodegradable Coconut Fiber Sponge by Suffix | 4 Simple & Sustainable Dish Scrubbers

This neat sponge is made entirely out of natural coconut fiber and can be tossed into the compost as soon as it gets icky. The material itself is completely organic and breathable which allows it to not harbor bacteria and get stinky. It's soft enough for all materials and would be good for wiping surfaces clean as well. $10 for a 3pack

2. Pot Brush by Bürstenhaus Redecker | Made in Germany

Pot Brush by Bürstenhaus Redecker | 4 Simple & Sustainable Dish Scrubbers

Bürstenhaus Redecker has been making beautiful, handcrafted brushes in Germany since 1935. This elegant but sturdy little guy is made out of all-natural plant bristles and sustainably-sourced beechwood. It's built to last, but can also be composted at the end of it's life. I would use this for scrubbing my cast iron skillet, dishes and pans that don't have a non-stick coating. $6 – $8

3. Washing-Up Whisk by Iris Hantverk | Made in Sweden

Whisk by Iris Hantverk | 4 Simple & Sustainable Dish Scrubbers

I like how primitive and handmade this little whisk looks and is! This Swedish company uses traditional brush-making techniques to make well-designed brushed that work. The "Washing-Up Whisk" is made out of all-natural cereal root and jute twine which can be composted when it breaks down. What I also love about this company is that they specifically seek to employ visually-impaired people. $12

4. Pot Scrubber by Haydenville Broomworks | Made in USA

Pot Scrubber by Haydenville Broomworks | 4 Simple & Sustainable Dish Scrubbers

This little scrubber is very similar to the Swedish whisk except it's made in the US, uses broomcorn instead of cereal root and has an even simpler design. Like all of the others, it can be composted and I would use it to scrub pots, dishes, or vegetables. $5 each or $20 for 5

I hope this helps you avoid the dish scrubber scavenger hunt that I often find myself in at the bleakest of dishwashing times. 

Sincerely,

Lexy
