Refillables: Replace the Head, Keep the Handle
Keep the handle, replace the head. The Sisal Dish Brush with Free Refill ships with a spare sisal head, so the bamboo handle stays in your kitchen for years while only the worn part goes to compost.
The rest of the collection works the same way: refills for the pot scrubber and hand brush, dish soap cake refills, cleaning tablets and corn starch floss. Refilling uses far less material than rebuying, and a refill is lighter and smaller than a complete tool, so it travels with less packaging. A kitchen kit stays in service for years instead of cycling through the bin.
How Cleaning Tablets Work
Drop one tablet into a 16-ounce reusable spray bottle, add warm water and wait for it to dissolve. One tablet makes up to 500 ml of cleaner, so you carry home a small wrapper instead of a heavy bottle that is mostly water.
Choose All Purpose for counters and everyday surfaces, and Bathroom for the bathroom. The wrapping is compostable, and the spray bottle you already own does the rest, so the only thing you restock is the tablet itself. Label each bottle with its tablet type, so the kitchen and bathroom mixes never get swapped. Mixing fresh also means you only make what you need.
When to Replace a Brush Head
Replace a brush head when the bristles flatten, fray or stop lifting grease. Sisal is hard-wearing, so that rarely happens quickly. Rinse the brush after use and allow it to air-dry thoroughly to help prevent moisture buildup and keep the bristles in good condition.
Compost the old head, or give it a second life on grout, tiles and garden tools once it has lost its stiffness. The solid dish soap cake, formulated to cope with hard water, has its own refills, so even the soap side of the sink can be topped up instead of replaced. Match each refill to the tool it came with.
