Scouring sponges made of cellulose are gentler on anything that needs to be washed and scrubbed than scouring sponges made of pure synthetic fibre. The sponge, which has an abrasive fleece, removes stubborn dirt from insensitive surfaces such as enamel dishes, steel pans and pots or cooker tops.

The sponges are very absorbent and insensitive to light acids, alkalis, oil and petrol.

STORY

Today Iris Hantverk consists of 17 employees. The main business is the brush binding factory in Sandsborgsvägen, Enskede. Here six visually impaired craftsmen from different cultures make brushes in the old Swedish tradition. Since August 2012, the company has been run by Richard Sparrenhök and Sara Edhäll. They care a lot about the craftsmen and the survival of brush-making. They believe that many like them appreciate the feel and quality of a hand-drawn brush made from natural materials.

Their vision is to revive the traditional profession of brush binding. By producing functional products with good design, combined with the quality of natural materials and the solid technique of the craftsmen.
