Swedish Body Brush, for Dry Use, Birch & Horse Hair

Swedish Body Brush, for Dry Use, Birch & Horse Hair
£30.00
Ex Tax: £25.00
A long-handled brush of birch wood and horse hair used for massaging the body. The practice of dry massaging exfoliates and encourages renewal of the skin, as well as increasing circulation. For best results, start at the extremities, with long brushstrokes, moving slowly towards the heart. Measuring 38cm in length. From Iris Hantverk, whose Swedish and Estonian workshops provide training and employment for visually impaired craftsmen in the making of artisan brushes. Just over 38cm overall length, with a head of very approximately 12cm by 5cm wide.

Care Advice

Keep dry when not in use. In the case of wet-use brushes, please shake any excess moisture from the bristles, and dry hanging up or on a surface with the bristles facing down. Clean brushes only when necessary with a little shampoo and hot water, making sure to dry thoroughly. Condition the wooden surface every now and then with a beeswax furniture polish, or mineral oil, to prevent cracks or splitting. Note that clothes moths will go for animal fibre brushes in the same way that they will for animal fibre clothes. Keep brushes in a dust free environment, and treat surfaces with cedar oil to repel them.

  • Item Dimensions L38.5 x W2.5 x H4.5 (Brush Head L13 x W5 x H2.5)
