The eco-friendly, coconut fibre bristles in our ECOMAX Vegie Brush are designed to be gentle on your food while effectively scrubbing away any dirt, germs or pesticides lingering on the outer skin. By scrubbing instead of peeling, you are keeping all the nutrients, vitamins and fibre in the skin that are so important in a healthy diet.
The shorter bristles in the Hard ECOMAX Vegie Brush make more suitable for tougher vegetables.
Ethically handmade from 100% natural, sustainable coconut fibres, this naturally antibacterial vegie brush won’t become smelly or mouldy with use and once it has reached the end of its life simply throw it in the compost to biodegrade naturally.

Perfect for cleaning:
Together with cold water and a gentle scrubbing action, the vegie brush will clean all fruits and vegies.
The longer bristles on the Medium Vegie Brush are gentler for cleaning fruits and vegetables with softer skins.
The shorter bristles on the Hard Vegie Brush are harder for cleaning potatoes and other hard vegies with ease.
Both can also double as an effective short handled dish brush
Care of brush:
Rinse and place in your dish rack to dry.
End of life:
Once your vegie brush has reached the end of its life, throw it in the compost bin to breakdown naturally. No need to remove the wire, the coconut fibres will be eaten by micro-organisms, the timber handle and cotton cord will decompose over time and the remaining wire can be recycled when the compost is spread.
