Zero Waste Outlet Long Handle Pot Brush
Zero Waste Outlet
Long Handle Pot Brush With Replaceable Head
A plastic-free pot scrubber built to be refilled, not replaced. Replacement heads come in sisal or heavy-duty palm, and the old head goes in the compost. Stand it upright to dry and never leave it soaking, which protects the wood that holds the head in place.
A 9 inch pot and pan brush with a long wooden handle and a replaceable head of firm sisal bristles. When the bristles wear out, you twist off the head and screw on a new one, so the handle stays in use for years. The long handle keeps your hands out of the dishwater while you scrub stuck-on food.

What's inside
The handle is wood and the bristles are sisal, a stiff natural plant fiber. The head is held on by a metal wire. When a customer asked on the product page what the metal is, Zero Waste Outlet replied that it thinks it is steel wire, similar to a coat hanger, so the exact metal is not confirmed. The brand describes the brush as plastic-free and does not state whether the wood has a finish. Sisal bristles shed natural plant fiber as they wear, not plastic.

About Zero Waste Outlet
Zero Waste Outlet is a family-owned shop in Washington state run by Brian and Beth. The idea started with an oversized delivery: a small item buried in a giant box, padded with plastic that did nothing useful. The company now sells its own line of plastic-free kitchen and bathroom basics, like coconut-fiber brushes, bamboo soap dishes and plant-fiber sponges, alongside products from other small brands. Its stated mission is to make zero-waste products available to American households at a reasonable cost, and it ships every order in plastic-free packaging. It does not list third-party certifications, and it says it sources overseas only when an affordable option is not available in the US.
