Material:
The wood used are responsively sourced in the UK by Slow Made Goods.
Finished with plant based oil.
Tampico is the fibre of Agave plant from Mexico. With its durability and water absorbent nature, Tampico fibre has been widely used for kitchen brushes and other tools for household use. It is very flexible and catches dust in the corners.
Care
When not in use, please hang the item with the loop on the stick's end. Do not leave the broom standing on the bristles to avoid the bristles flare out or bend.
Tampico fibre is good with water, but we recommend to let the bristles air dried completely after using in the wet or damp floor.
