Dish Brush

This is the way to wash up. Ditch the horrible sponge that collects hairs and leeches microplastics and pick up this dish-washing brush. Made from oil-treated birch and horse hair, we think you’ll agree it’s a bit of a looker.

Each Iris Hantverk brush is handmade in Sweden or Estonia by a person with a visual impairment. The company has been running since 1870 and operating as a social enterprise since 2012. This isn’t just about creating jobs either, it’s about valuing traditional craft skills and appreciating the beauty of everyday objects.

All of the Iris Hantverk objects feel good in the hand. They are solid where they need to be and soft where they need to be. They are also exceptionally well-made. We think their simple designs bring a sense of quiet joy and satisfaction to every day tasks.  

Brush making by visually impaired people has a long tradition across northern Europe, so while Iris Hantverk provides practical, modern jobs it’s also preserving a piece of history that’s valued by everyone involved. 

The best way to clean your dish brush is to boil water, pour in a few drops of mild detergent and dip your dish brush and stir. If it is very oily, you may need to repeat it a few times. Beat out the water and let it dry so that the water drains away from the brush.
