Modular Palm Pot Scrub Brush
Most dish brushes are plastic, handle and bristles both, which makes them hard to recycle and means they linger in landfills and waterways for hundreds of years, shedding microplastics as they slowly break down. This modular brush is built to do the opposite.
The handle and bristles are plant-based, so when the head wears out you simply unscrew it, compost it, and twist on a fresh one while keeping the same handle for the long haul. The same screw-on head fits our Modular Dish Brush too, and it comes in two bristle textures. Want a few on hand? Take a look at our bulk options.
- Wood handle and plant-fiber bristles, plant-based and biodegradable
- Modular design: unscrew the worn head and twist on a fresh one, keep the handle
- Two bristle textures, regular-duty or heavy-duty (or pick up the handle on its own)
- Lifespan of 3 to 6 months, the same as a plastic brush
- When the bristles soften, retire it to a household scrubber for tubs, sinks, boots, and more
Use it to scrub pots, pans, and dishes at the sink. When the bristles wear down, unscrew the head, drop it in the compost, and twist on a replacement, no tools needed. Choose regular bristles for everyday dishes or heavy-duty bristles for tougher jobs, or grab the handle on its own if you already have heads.
Store the brush somewhere dry with good air circulation, and separate the head from the handle so both can dry between uses. If you spot any buildup, wipe it with diluted vinegar or mild soap and leave it to dry in the sun or near airflow.
A wooden handle with plant-fiber bristles. No plastic, so the whole brush is biodegradable. The dark, Heavy-Duty bristles are made of stiff palm fibers. The Regular-Duty bristles are made of sisal and agave fibers.
3.5" tall x 2" round.
Our modular brushes are made from natural materials like bamboo and plant fiber, which means they will return to the earth one day. That is the whole point of zero waste, and we think it is pretty cool.
After a few months in a cozy, humid kitchen, bamboo can sometimes grow a little mold, usually right where the head meets the handle. Do not worry. Mold is just the start of that return-to-earth process. Unlike plastic, these brushes are not built to last forever, and a bit of mold is a sign the head is nearing the end of its useful life. Keep the handle going with a fresh screw-on head, and send the spent one to the compost.
There is no retail packaging, just the minimal materials needed to ship it safely. Your order may include a small paper product info card.
Place the worn head in your home compost or bury it in the dirt and let it biodegrade.
Bought together
The bristles on this one are very strong, so it will be good to use on my sink or tough food stuck on dishes.
This brush is designed to last long. It’s sturdy and effective. No more mashed matted plastic bristles that end up in the landfills.
Needed some extra scrubbing power (I use the coco round scrubbies from this site for most dishes) and couldn't tell from the photo if these would be too soft or hard. They're neither. Soft enough to never harm dishes and hard enough to handle serious grime/burnt food etc.
Including a picture of my zero waste sink suite which fits all of my needs
My first of certainly many purchases from ZWO.
High quality and so environmentally friendly. Bravo!
Love this handy scrub. Easy to hold. Nice to look at. Does the job with no damage to delicate items.
this brush is great for those harder stick on messes like dried cheese, sauce, etc. We have really enjoyed using it especially on our wok, etc.
Works great for everyday cleaning, and doesn't take up alot of space, ive used it to scrub off stuck on food without an issue
Looks great in my kitchen and works great too. I’m a big fan of this company, they really go above and beyond to execute exceptional customer service and sustainable practices.
Beautiful little scrubber, gets pots and pans super clean, and looks great in my kitchen!
I like the design but it grows mold so fast. The bristles are quite tough so they are good for getting food gunk off.
Hi there, thanks for your feedback! To help prevent mold, we recommend soaking the brush in a 50/50 vinegar and water solution and letting it dry thoroughly between uses. We appreciate your support for eco-friendly solutions!
Does what’s its supposed to do and more
Hi Carmen, thank you for your wonderful review! We're so glad the scrub brush meets your expectations. Happy cleaning!
Love these as I'm trying to replace a lot of typically plastic made items!
The heavy duty brush is NOT kidding about being heavy duty. Definitely recommend!
Bought one of these brushes and some replacement heads. Been using for a couple weeks and it's exactly what I wanted! I also like how secure the screw-on heads feel. I was worried they would feel rickety or else would stick too much to unscrew, but actually they're really well made and attach securely.
These are awesome. Plus when we are finished using them, they can be composted!
I just bought my second one; the first lasted nearly a year! The bamboo did crack a bit, but not enough to get in the way of functionality.
I definitely recommend hanging it up to dry to increase longevity (I've got mine looped around a carabiner on my window curtain rod).
I need to replace my Dutch oven cleaning brush as the plastic was chipping off every time I used it, causing bristles to fall off. I bought both the hard and soft wood handled scrubbers and they are really nice to use. Easy to grip and I love that I can screw off the bottom part once I need to replace the bristles themselves.
Smells kinda weird at first , I assume it’s normal. Works well, love it.
Well made product though the bristles are a bit hard at first.
Very effective scrub brush, especially when paired with the Zero Waste Outlet grease-defying bar of soap.
I loved the idea, but you can’t really change the heads. Mold grows in the gap right away, hiding in the nook and cranny
Of course the bristles is what always wears down quickly, not the actual handle, so when I saw that they made one were the bristles can be switched out I was like "FINALLY!" And when the handle does eventually wear out, it's still compostable!
I can't speak to it's compatibility with a new brush head, but it is doing an excellent job of scraping food before going into the dishwasher. It also has sturdy bristles to clean off soap scum & gunk from sink surfaces. I should have bought 2 for other cleaning jobs, but will save that idea for after our cross-country move!
Works great- sturdy brush
Definitely one of the best modular palm brushes on the market!
This brush handles most of my cleaning needs. I added in a loofah for tight spaces and a pan scraper for the really dried on stuff. I got both the regular and heavy bristles. I think I only needed the heavy.
Shipping was prompt and secure. That little brush gets " 'round". Does a great job! 😀
Holds up much better than expected. Easy to use, will definitely buy again.
Good stiff bristles - functions really well. Love the replacements!
