Ultra-strong Mexican palm bristles, tough enough for cast iron and baking pans, gentle enough for your good dishes. It sits in the palm of your hand, which is where the scrubbing power comes from, and when the bristles finally give up it goes in the compost.
Key Features
- Mexican palm fibre and wood. No plastic anywhere.
- Safe on enamel, non-stick and cast iron. Without scratching.
- Heat-resistant bristles. Built for heavy-duty work.
- Compact ergonomic shape. 8.5cm long x 6cm diameter.
- 100% compostable. And readily biodegradable.
Pūrē Standard
- No plastic bristles, which is the entire reason to buy it. A nylon scourer sheds microplastics down the sink with every scrub, and they do not stop at the drain.
- Safe on non-stick and enamel. That is the usual objection to a stiff brush, and Murchison-Hume address it head on: strong enough for cast iron, still safe on the coated pans.
- It gets a second life. When the bristles wear down for the kitchen, it becomes a bathroom scrubber. Then it composts.
- Honest about how it ages. Murchison-Hume state that some cracking along the grain will occur and that it does not affect how the brush works. Nice to see a brand say that rather than field the complaints later.
- Made in China exclusively for Murchison-Hume. Which they disclose plainly.
