Wooden dish brushes for different use. Brushes made in horse hair are soft and suitable for glass, porcelain, etc. Brushes in tampico fiber are harder and fit for saucepans, pots and pans. After use, shake out excess water from the brush and hang it up or leave it "standing on" the brush, making the wood last longer. The wood may also be oiled occasionally. The brush is cleaned by dipping in hot water with mild detergent.
