The Kiriwara palm brush is another great classic that cannot be missing in Japanese homes. Handmade in Tokyo using traditional techniques, it is softer than tawashi scrubbers, as it is made with softer fibers from a different variety of coconut palm.
Used delicately, it does not damage fabrics and surfaces and this makes it perfect for spot washing shirt collars, cuffs, socks, etc., but also for deeply cleaning Teflon-coated pots and pans without damaging them, as well as cutting boards and colanders.
When the ends become damaged, simply cut them, even gradually removing the metal rings that enclose the fiber, to use it to the full.
It comes with a convenient cord for hanging and drying.
