This is a shoe tawashi brush made from shuro palm fibers.

Tawashi brushes made from natural shuro palm have fibers with just the right firmness and flexibility.
They can be safely used on delicate items such as glassware, cups, or non-stick pans without scratching them.

When carefully selected, shuro fibers are soft enough to use even for body care, gentle to the touch on the skin.

Their soft texture and resilient bounce are unique to shuro palm.

A tawashi is also an important tool for caring for baskets and colanders. Its bristles easily slip into the weave, sweeping away fine dust and scrubbing out hidden dirt.

Even basket artisans who work with akebi vine or wild grape often say, “Nothing cleans a basket like a tawashi.” We also recommend this brush for basket care.

Whether scrubbing dishes or vegetables, or polishing baskets and colanders, the tawashi has long remained an essential tool in the kitchen and home.

On this page, we introduce the “Shoe Tawashi Brush” with a handle.

After use, shake off the water thoroughly and hang or place it on a draining rack to dry.
When removing water, hold the brush part instead of the handle.

The soft shuro fibers gently clean dirt from indoor shoes or sneakers.
We recommend this brush for weekly shoe washing.

The makers also mention that although it’s called a “shoe tawashi,”
it can be used for other purposes such as washing dishes or pans.

It can safely be used as a handled tawashi for cleaning glassware or dishes.
For those concerned about rough skin, this tawashi is also recommended for dishwashing.
In addition to shoes and kitchenware, it can also be used for general cleaning.

For caring for baskets and colanders, its soft fibers help prevent injury from splinters.

For daily shoe care or basket maintenance, this tawashi will serve you well.
