Go for Zero - Bamboo Long Handle Dish Brush + Replacement Head Pack

Made from bamboo, agave plant fibres and metal.

Hi I’m Ellie, the founder of Go for Zero.

I began my toxin-free and sustainable journey when my newborn (Gracie) developed rashes using ‘mainstream’ skincare products. Determined to help my daughter, I dedicated my time to research product labelling. I was horrified to discover how many harmful ingredients regular hygiene- and household items contained (and it is safe to say that I became a bit of a toxin-free nerd).

When I researched and tested toxin-free products, I saw a high amount of vendors still producing top quality products in plastic containers. This created a sore spot in my heart and fire in my belly to only provide products that are safe for you and our planet. Being an online store, we guarantee that your orders are packed with zero plastic and delivered through shipping carriers  who compensate the amount of carbon dioxide used when shipping by investing equally in restoring ecosystem projects.

From stinky garlic face masks, extremely ‘turmericy’ drinks & deodorant that stains clothes, I have gone above and beyond to make sure that I test and personally LOVE each product that Go for Zero sells.

Go For Zero is more than a store. We are a community of like-minded people that are not willing to compromise their health nor their planet. It is our mission is to educate and motivate people to make positive changes. Our team will continue to work hard each day to find options that are good for you and the planet. We understand that removing toxins and waste from your life is a journey that does not happen overnight, but we’re here to make it that little bit easier and enjoyable. Keep going, we’ve got this!

Thank you for your trust in us,

With love,

Ellie

How to Use:
Wet brush and use with your favourite dish soap to wash dishes and clean surfaces. Rinse off after use. 

To replace your replacement head, simply pull down the little silver latch on handle below the head, this will allow the holder to release. Pull old head off, pop new head on and push latch back to the top to tighten.

Care instructions:
After use, allow the brushes to dry properly by hanging them up or standing them on their bristles so the water can flow from moisture-sensitive areas. Soaking in water for prolonged periods of time is not advised.

Natural signs of aging will occur over time from exposure to water, minerals within water and dish washing liquid. Wood oxidation (dark spots/discolouration), cracks/splits in the wood and bristle loss are possible and do not impact functionality. Wood is a natural product and the compostable nature of this brush is what makes it such a great zero waste kitchen essential.

How to prevent mould:

• Store your brush in a dry area, avoid leaving it in the sink
• Allow the brush to sit or hang with the bristles facing down so the water can run off
• Place your brush in the sun at least once a week
• Rinsing after use if bristles are congested

We suggest replacing your Replacement Head every 2-3 months.

These plastic-free brushes are made from plants, meaning they can return to the earth when you no longer use them.

Handle & heads: 

• Option 1: Add to your home compost bins. The bristles will compost in 3-4 months, and the handles will take longer due to the thickness, once broken down, remove any remaining metal. 
• Option 2: Remove the wire and add it to your kerbside garden waste/FOGO bins.
• Option 3: Combine both methods: If metal is too difficult to remove, add the head to the compost bin and handle to the kerbside garden bin.

Metal/wire: 

Take to scrap metal recycling facility.
