Form and function converge in our beautifully designed Beechwood Nail Brush.
For extra hand care, add a drop of Tea Tree or Lavender to sudsy bristles to banish biofilms and get rid of germs. For a fantastic finishing touch, follow up with Cuticle Care Oil and Hooray Hand Crème for soft, smooth hands.
These beautiful brushes are made to last and handcrafted with renewable, durable beechwood.
Care Instructions:
The bodies of the brushes are made of solid, oiled beechwood. Wooden brushes are best not left sitting in water. When you take a pause from brushing, place the brush large bristle-side down on the edge of the sink or tub.
After using, rinse the bristles with clear water. Tap off excess water and place the brush bristles downwards on a dry towel. The bristles may be washed in lukewarm, soapy water, rinsed with hydrogen peroxide, or dropped into boiling water for 30 seconds and dried in the sun.
Hand Washing: Health is in Your Hands
It is cold and flu season, and handwashing signs such as “Clean Hands Save Lives” are popping up everywhere. The Centers for Disease Control estimates that 80% of infections are transmitted by hands:
- The bacteria that cause diarrhea, pneumonia, skin and eye infections, and infectious disease are often passed along by hand.
- Norovirus, the most prevalent pathogen in foodborne illness, lives and thrives in the restroom. The path to norovirus contamination and illness is feces to hand to mouth and/or food.
- MRSA is often found on computer keyboards and under fingernails. MSRA bacteria are so dangerous because they are resistant to most antibiotics.
