How do I hold the brush when my hands are covered in oil or soap?

Many workshop brushes quickly slip away. Our tool is designed as a compact wooden block. The recessed grips on the sides of the beech wood guarantee maximum control, even with wet, slippery hands.

How do I care for the brush after use in the workshop?

Rinse them thoroughly with warm water and stand them upright (bristles down) in a well-ventilated place to prevent the wood from swelling.

Is a vegan brush really strong enough for engine oil and dirt?

Yes! Tampico is one of the toughest plant fibers in the world and retains its extreme resilience even when completely wet. The brush is indestructible against the toughest dirt.

Can I use the brush for sensitive hands?

Absolutely not. This variant is extremely abrasive and is exclusively intended for robust hands after hard physical labor (mechanics, gardeners, construction workers).

What this brush does

10 mm cut shortProduct detail

Short means stiff

The shorter the bristle, the less it yields. The 10 mm cut brings pressure against oil, grease and soil; finger grooves in the beech block for wet hands.

Wet + dry workshop and gardenProduct detail

With soap or without

Dry, it brushes off loose dust and soil; with water and soap it lifts oil and grease. Afterwards shake out and dry bristles down.
