Product Insights
The Simons Maison Wood and Sisal Dish Brush ($12) delivers heavy-duty scrubbing with stiff sisal bristles that cut through burnt-on food, but it cannot be used on non-stick cookware because the bristles scratch coatings. Buyers report it feels more substantial than other brushes that wear out quickly, and its beechwood handle and sisal bristles match the spec of heritage brands costing $15–20. Plastic-free and fully compostable after removing the metal hanging loop, it requires rinsing, shaking, and hanging to dry—no dishwasher—plus a monthly vinegar soak. This exclusive, Canada-designed brush echoes the store's 1840 heritage and matches standard 9-inch handles from brands like Full Circle and Redecker.

Deep Research
How it compares to similar natural dish brushes
- At 9 inches long, it offers the same reach as standard handled dish brushes from brands like Full Circle and Redecker, keeping hands away from hot water while being compact enough for crock storage — a proven size rather than an unnecessary deviation.
- At $12 CAD, it undercuts many similarly spec'd beech-and-sisal brushes from known homeware brands, which often price between $15 and $20 CAD; the gap reflects the private-label model of Simons Maison, passing the savings from cutting out a wholesale brand markup directly to the buyer.
- Unlike the bamboo-handled brushes that dominate budget eco-sections, the beechwood here is denser and naturally more water-resistant when oiled, resisting the splitting and splintering that cheaper bamboo can develop after repeated wet-dry cycles — this is the same wood used by European craftsman brands.
- As an in-house design from Canadian department store Simons (founded in 1840), this brush carries a curated aesthetic identity that distinguishes it from utilitarian hardware-store alternatives — a small note of fashion-conscious homeware at a $12 price.
- Where many natural-bristle brushes offer replaceable heads that introduce plastic parts, this brush is fully wood and sisal — once the metal hanging loop is removed, the entire body can be composted, which is a decisive end-of-life advantage for buyers committed to zero waste.
- Sisal fiber, harvested from the agave plant, is coarser and stiffer than the tampico fiber used in many mid-range natural brushes, positioning this brush as the heavy-duty option in a curated brush set — ideal for baked-on messes and cast iron.
- The combination of a beechwood handle and sisal bristles mirrors the material spec of similar brushes from German brand Redecker and Swedish Iris Hantverk, both known for heirloom-quality wooden brushes; that parity at $12 CAD signals strong value because those brands often retail higher for the same raw materials.

I love this brush!
I have had other brushes in the past and they were out really quickly. I haven’t had it that long but this one seems to be more substantial.
Great brush
I really like this scrub brush. It works well and I love that it is biodegradable and no plastic.

Q&A
5 answered- Are the sisal bristles stiff enough for heavy scrubbing or are they gentle?
- The sisal bristles are stiff enough for heavy scrubbing — they cut through burnt-on food and baked grease — yet remain gentle enough to avoid scratching most cookware surfaces. [1] For non-stick coatings, however, a softer brush is recommended.
- How should this brush be cleaned and dried to prevent mold?
- After each use, rinse the brush, shake off excess water, and hang it bristle-side down using the loop to air dry. [4] Avoid the dishwasher or leaving it in standing water. Periodically disinfect by soaking in a mixture of hot water, soap, and vinegar for about an hour, then rinse and dry thoroughly. [5]
- Is the wood handle sealed or treated to withstand water?
- The beech wood handle is smoothly sanded and organically oiled, giving it water resistance, but it is not fully waterproof. [1][6] Prolonged soaking or dishwasher use can cause cracking or warping, so proper drying is essential.
- Are replacement heads or bristles available, or is the brush disposable after wear?
- This brush is a one-piece design with no replaceable head or bristles. [0] After the brush wears out, it can be composted — simply remove the metal hanging loop (if present) and place the rest in your compost bin. [5]
- Is this brush safe for non-stick cookware?
- The sisal bristles have medium-to-stiff stiffness and can scratch non-stick coatings, so we do not recommend using this brush on non-stick cookware. [2] A soft silicone or nylon brush is safer for non-stick surfaces.
