Ecomax

The things you use every day in a bathroom are the ones worth getting right, because you look at them every day too. Ecomax make the humble ones, the body brush, the face cloth and the toilet brush holder, and they make them properly.

Their brushes are handmade from vegetable fibres and timber, and the range is registered with The Vegan Society. From Ecomax we stock the palm-sized Palm Body Brush in natural sisal, handmade in Sri Lanka and used wet or dry; a crocheted face cloth in unbleached cotton, made by artisans in India; and the Dalby toilet brush holder from the Paper Pottery range, made from recycled paper, lined with latex rubber and finished in a black granite look.

Natural bristles last longest when they dry properly, so stand or hang brushes bristles down and out of standing water. A body brush and face cloth together make a simple gift. Browse our bath and body range for soaps to go with them.

How do I use a dry body brush?
Brush on dry skin before you shower, using light, long strokes that start at the feet and work upwards. The Ecomax Palm Body Brush can also be used wet in the shower with your usual soap.

How do I care for a sisal brush?
Rinse it after use, shake out the water and leave it to dry with the bristles facing down in an airy spot. Leaving natural fibres sitting in water or a closed shower caddy shortens their life.

Is the Dalby toilet brush holder waterproof?
Yes. The Dalby holder is made from recycled paper, lined with natural latex rubber and coated with a water-repellent layer, so it is waterproof, lightweight and unbreakable. It is designed to pair with the Ecomax toilet brush.

How do I wash a cotton face cloth?
Rinse it well after each use and hang it to dry. Wash it regularly with your towels; unbleached cotton tends to soften with washing, so expect it to feel better after a few rounds.
