You can use the dish brush for cleaning cutlery, crockery, and kitchen utensils. The traditional wooden dish brush is still sold out of tradition. The disadvantage of wood is that it can absorb bacteria and that wood is naturally porous. The multifunctional narrow (medium) plastic dish brush absorbs bacteria much less. If the plastic fibers of the brushes are bent, they straighten out again in warm water. Dish brushes with horsehair are mainly used for cleaning delicate glassware. The wooden dish brush with 100% fiber filling is also used for greasing a wok and/or baking tray. The small dish brush has a scraping edge at the front of the handle to scrape off stubborn dirt, for example in pans. The plastic dish brush can be cleaned in the dishwasher up to 134 degrees.
