    How we evaluated it

    How it scores Our rating, metric by metric Good, 3.7 of 5
    1. Materials 45% of the rating 4 of 5

      Beech and tampico, both plant materials, with no plastic or wire bristles. How the fibers are fixed and any wood finish are not stated.

    2. Independent testing 10% of the rating 1 of 5

      No test of any kind is published for the wood, fibers or fixings, and we found no independent test.

    3. Durability 20% of the rating 4 of 5

      The head is replaceable, so the handle outlasts the bristles, and the wood and fiber are plant material. Natural bristles wear down, and no warranty is stated.

    4. Trust 10% of the rating 4 of 5

      A long-running Swedish brush maker that says plainly this model is machine made. No recalls or Prop 65 notices. The US head sold by the retailer is horsehair, not tampico.

    5. Value 15% of the rating 4 of 5

      $8 for the brush and about $7 for a new head, roughly $1.25 a month if the bristles last six months.

    The rating, 3.7 of 5, is the weighted average of these scores. See how we rank kitchen tools & cleanup and our standard.

    What it’s made of What touches your food, water, skin or air 4 materials
    1. Beech wood handle and head
    2. Tampico fibre bristles, a stiff plant fiber from agave
    3. A wire loop in the handle that holds the replaceable head (per the US retailer; the metal is not stated)
    4. How the bristles are fixed into the head and whether the wood has a finish are not stated
    What people ask Worries raised online and elsewhere, and what we found 4 questions
    What holds the bristles in, and is the wood finished?
    The maker's product page (opens in a new tab) lists only "Beech, Tampico fibre" and says the brush is machine made. Its dish-brush care notes say to oil the wood occasionally, which suggests bare wood, but they name no oil. The fixings are not described.
    Will the replacement head match, and is it still plant-based?
    The maker's own Everyday Refill is beech and tampico. The US retailer's replacement head (opens in a new tab) is birch with horsehair bristles, which is animal-derived, and fits by pulling a wire loop in the handle. Check the bristle type of the head you buy.
    Is it hygienic, since wood and fiber stay damp?
    The maker's care note says to shake out the water, hang the brush to dry and dip it in hot water with mild detergent to clean it. We found no test of bacterial growth on tampico or beech brushes.
    Can you buy it in the US?
    Iris Hantverk's own shop delivers within Sweden only. In the US it is sold through retailers such as June Home Supply, and we did not check other stores.
    Why we chose it What put it on our list 4 points
    • The materials are named. The maker's page lists "beech, tampico fibre", a plant fiber from agave, and describes a stiffer brush for coarser cleaning that does not scratch dishes. It names no plastic or wire bristles.
    • The head is replaceable. The maker sells an Everyday Refill (beech and tampico) for 55 SEK, against 70 SEK for the whole brush, so you keep the handle.
    • Care is written down: shake out the water and hang the brush up, clean it by dipping it in hot water with mild detergent, and oil the wood occasionally, according to the maker's dish-brush page.
    • US shoppers can buy it. June Home Supply sold it for $8.00 and showed a replacement head for $7.00 on the day we looked.
    Trade-offs What to weigh before you buy 4 points
    • The page does not say how the fibers are fixed to the head or whether the beech has a finish. Nothing is said about antimicrobial treatments either.
    • The maker's own shop delivers within Sweden only. June Home Supply's replacement-head listing describes horsehair bristles, while Iris Hantverk's Everyday Refill is tampico.
    • Tampico is stiff. The maker sells softer horsehair brushes for glasses and porcelain, and horsehair is animal-derived.
    • No independent test is published. This model is machine made, according to its page, not hand made by the maker's visually impaired craftspeople as many of its other brushes are.
    What to know Details worth knowing first

    Many dish brushes have plastic bristles, so the part that scrubs is the part that wears off as plastic. This one uses tampico, a stiff fiber from the agave plant, set in a beech-wood head, and the head comes off so that the handle outlasts the bristles. Our microplastics guide explains why we prefer that.

    The maker is a Stockholm company that works with visually impaired craftspeople. This particular brush is described as machine made, so we do not credit it with the hand-made story. It is the plain, stiff option for pots and pans; for glasses, the maker sells softer horsehair brushes.

    What we could not check: the finish on the wood, how the fibers are fixed, and any test of the materials. If you are in the EU, Redecker makes a similar brush with the finish stated.
