Kamenoko – TAWASHI small
$7.00Kamenoko 亀の子束子1号 The reason why Kame no ko tawashi have been loved for many years is the reliable quality that generously uses carefully selected coconut fiber. It has long been loved not only for household plumbing, but also for commercial use recognized by professionals. The secret to its popularity is its exquisite size that anyone can easily grasp. Approximately 8cm x 5cm x 10cm (3in x 2in x 4in) Material: palm (palm fiber), wire Country of Origin: Japan (fibers from Sri Lanka) “Original Kamenoko Tawashi”, which has been loved for over 100 years, is characterized by the “definite difference in fiber thickness and density” that uses carefully selected palm (coconut fiber) generously. The small model, which was developed with consideration for a size that is easy to use even for people with small hands, has maintained its shape since its founding. The fiber is firmly set up by the technique of stringing, and even now you can feel the durability that "Kamenoko lives three times as long as others”. Coconut fiber, which has moderate hardness, is good at cleaning by "scraping and rubbing" with the head of the fiber. Please note the following when using. ・Please wash with water before use. ・Do not use on objects that are easily scratched. ・After use, rinse well and dry in the sun. ・There are differences in color due to natural fibers, but there is no change in quality.

It will not affect its durability, and the color will deteriorate if you boil it in a pot or leave it in water for a long time, so please wash it lightly and use it as is. About using in ovens and microwaves ●You can use it in a microwave, but we do not recommend it as it is prone to cracking due to sudden changes in temperature. ●If you use colored or gold/silver painted items in a microwave, the glaze will melt and the colored painting will peel off, so please avoid using it as much as possible. After use ※ Wash with diluted neutral detergent and dry thoroughly before storing. Leaving it half-dried can cause mold and make it more likely to absorb odors.
