Let's talk about one of our favorite natural cleaning tools, The Natural Fiber Brush.

When we set out to create our version of a kitchen brush, we focused on two things: quality and environmental impact. We wanted a tool tough enough to tackle the grit and grease of the messiest skillets, yet gentle enough to return to the Earth at the end of its lifespan.

 

Absolutely the best scrubber. Its bristles are very stiff and is the perfect tool for cleaning your cast iron.

Enter the Natural Fiber Brush: a 4-inch brush featuring a sturdy beech wood handle, stiff union fiber bristles, and an elegant design that looks great next to your sink. 

The size and shape of the handle offers a firm, comfortable grip, making it easy to scrub pan walls, corners, and exteriors. Over time, the natural wood will take on a rich patina and develop a smoother texture—like our cast iron pans, this is a mark of a tool well loved and often used. 

Because the handle is untreated, you may notice small cracks develop along the wood grain as it ages and is exposed to water, a process commonly understood as swelling and shrinkage. Worry not! This is part of its natural lifecycle and a reminder that it’s fully biodegradable and compostable. 

This little scrubber is rugged & attractive, and more importantly, it's very efficient at quickly cleaning the pan.

Considerations for extending your brushes lifecycle:

1.
Use oil on the handle! We recommend a cooking oil of your choice but mineral oil or even your cast iron seasoning oil can get the job done.
 

2.
Do not submerge. To prevent deep cracking never let your brush sit in water for extended periods of time, whether that's in a pan or in your soap dish.

The Field Method to Care

With every product we create, we strive to maximize both efficacy and efficiency. We designed the Cast Iron Care Kit to include everything you need to keep your Field cookware looking its best. Inside, you’ll find our beloved natural fiber brush, durable chain mail scrubber, and premium seasoning oil—your ultimate trio for fresh, clean, and perfectly seasoned cast iron. 

The Field Method is our simple and approachable cleaning guide—encouraging you to use your cast iron regularly without the hassle of extra steps like baking in seasoning. After all, consistent use is the key to unlocking your pan’s full potential. The first step is to scrub the surface of your pan with water, soap (optional) and your brush!
