Why Choose Natural Cleaning Tools?
1. Ditch Plastic, Embrace Planet-Friendly Materials
Plastic brushes and sponges break down into microplastics that pollute waterways, harm sea life, and end up on your dinner plate. Switching to natural cleaning tools means:
– Zero microplastics
– Biodegradable end-of-life
– Renewable raw materials
2. Bamboo & Cork: A Dynamic Duo
Bamboo grows fast—up to 3 feet a day! It’s naturally anti-microbial, light yet sturdy, and easy to cultivate without pesticides. Cork, harvested from the bark of cork oak trees, regrows naturally, offers gentle scrubbing action, and resists mould. Together, they make natural cleaning tools that outperform plastic, stay hygienic, and compost cleanly when you’re done.

How to Care for Your Natural Cleaning Tools
Your natural cleaning tools deserve a little love. Follow these simple steps:
- Rinse after use
Run warm water to wash away soap and debris. - Shake off excess water
Excess moisture weakens fibers over time. - Air dry upright
Give bristles and cork spots room to breathe. - Deep clean monthly
Mix a splash of vinegar with water. Soak bristles 5–10 minutes. Rinse and dry.
A quick scrub now and then keeps mould at bay and extends lifespan. Treat them right, and they’ll last for months.
