Why We Love It
This agave fiber brush is a multipurpose tool is beautiful, functional and reminds us of our abuelita’s kitchen. Beyond nostalgia, this brush is so handy. The hard-textured bristles provide an effective clean, without scratching surfaces. Use for home cleaning, as a vegetable wash or to wash your molcajetes, mortars, pots, pans and anything cast iron. Unlike plastic, the agave fibers on this brush will not melt on hot surfaces. 

This brush was designed to get the job done right without a fuss.

These natural household items are made with love by an indigenous-owned cooperative dedicated to the sustainable and artisanal production of brushes and sponges from vegetable fibers, such as agave henequén, agave lechuguilla, and ixtle de maguey. For over 25 years, the community has produced personal and home care products while employing local artisans, mostly women.

The products are made using 100% natural fibers obtained from different parts of Mexico. Each item is handmade by artisans, carvers, and weavers, creating a bond of a sustainable economy. They also take great care to source raw materials sustainably: the wood is upcycled from furniture makers’ scraps, and fibers are harvested sustainably according to ancestral traditions that have allowed agave plants to flourish for millennia.

Wash with soap and water. Let it fully dry between uses. We recommend using the provided twine loop to hang dry it in between uses.

100% plant-based brush made from agave fibers. On colorful brushes, Nylon yarn is used to hold brush together. Nylon is used as it is a durable, highly-resistant material. On beige brush, a biodegradable lasso is used to tie the yarns together.

Beautiful!

This dish scrubber is beautifully crafted and made well. We always had one of these in the kitchen sink growing up but I could never find one that I liked until I found this one! Buy it, you will not regret it. Will be buying more for gifts!
