Great quality natural brushes to replace plastic
Been swapping out all the plastic junk for natural items. These brushes are great, I use them with dish butter and they work great. So far holding up really well. Plenty of brushes for different needs, we even have a dedicated veggie scrubber now.

Not Bad
This is how the item arrived. The bristles may be a little rough, but if you are expecting this organic alternative to resemble the same convenient quality as plastic or a sponge… I don’t know what to tell you.
