Original caption

Replying to @rat.cosplays how to prevent mold on bamboo and wood dish brushes The darker spots you see on wood dish brushes are naturally occurring. Mold typically looks fuzzy, but these spots are not. To prevent mold, remove food particles every time you use the brush and dry on an elevated surface. Give it a deep clean every few weeks in equal parts warm water and vinegar. #plasticfree #EcoFriendly #zerowaste
