A tawashi (たわし or 束子, lit., a bundle) is a scrubbing brush for wet cleaning,[1] of a style that is popular in Japan.
[2] Traditionally, tawashis were made from the hemp palm.
[3][4] In Japan, sponges used for rubbing and washing are now treated as forms of tawashi.
A metallic tawashi (金属たわし, kinzoku tawashi) is made of metal; steel, stainless steel, and brass are frequent choices.
