Simple Things

Considered basics for the kitchen sink. Simple Things brushes use natural tampico and sisal bristles on wooden handles, with replaceable heads so the handle stays put. We also carry their sink caddy, cotton wash cloths and bamboo charcoal filter sticks.

A dish brush is used every day and replaced four times a year, which makes it one of the few things in a kitchen where the design of the replacement matters. Simple Things put the wear in the head rather than the whole brush, so the wooden handle stays and only the bristles are swapped.

Tampico and sisal are stiff enough for a pan and soft enough for glassware, and both dry out between uses in a way a synthetic sponge does not. Standing the brush in the caddy rather than leaving it flat in the sink is what makes it last.

The rest of the cleaning range sits in Cleaning & Laundry.

Are the brush heads replaceable?
Yes, that is the point of them. The head lifts off and a fresh one goes on, so the wooden handle stays in use and only the worn part is replaced.

What is tampico?
A natural fibre taken from the agave plant. It holds its stiffness when wet, which is why it suits pans and pots, and it dries out between uses rather than staying damp.

What do the charcoal filter sticks do?
They sit in a jug or bottle of water. Instructions for refreshing and replacing them are on the product page, since they need periodic boiling to keep working.
