Tough Pot Scrubber

The Tough Pot Scrubber is designed for heavier-duty cleaning jobs. While both are made from FSC-certified beechwood and natural plant fibres, the Tough version has more robust bristles built to tackle stubborn grime, baked-on residue, and tough stains that need extra scrubbing power.

It's suitable for most cookware including pots, pans, dishes, countertops, and grill surfaces. However, it's not recommended for stovetops, glass-coated pots or pans, or any delicate surfaces that may scratch. If you're unsure, test on a small area first or use the original Pot Scrubber for more delicate pieces.

Yes, it's made entirely from FSC-certified beechwood and compostable plant fibres - no plastic, no synthetic chemicals. At the end of its life, it can go straight into your home compost, breaking down naturally without contributing to landfill or shedding microplastics.

Rinse it before first use. The natural bristles may release a little colour initially, which is completely normal. After each use, hang it up or stand it on its bristles to dry. For a deeper clean, soak in distilled white vinegar, rinse, shake off excess water, and hang to dry. Avoid leaving it sitting in standing water.

Yes, and it's nothing to worry about. Natural wood and plant fibres will show some discolouration and minor cracking with regular use - this is a characteristic of natural materials, not a sign of damage. It won't affect how well the scrubber performs.

FSC stands for Forest Stewardship Council. The beechwood used in this scrubber carries FSC certification, meaning the timber has been independently verified at every stage of its supply chain - from forest to finished product - to ensure it was sourced responsibly and sustainably.
