I got a sense of sustainable-thinking and pracitical design as soon as I opened this set. Each tool feels well made with sturdy bristles of varying stiffness based on the intended use. The brushes each have the Tieralia logo laser-engraved on them with no words so the look is clean and I don't mind leaving them out in my sink when not in use. The packaging is also intential with kraft paper to keep the utensils separated and a pamphlet with DIY, chemical-free cleaning solution recipes which was a nice surprise bonus.
I previously had a bamboo short dish brush from another brand but the full Tieralia brush set provides varying levels of pressure required for cleaning off different messes. The short brush has stiffer bristles and a good grip to clean stuck on messes. The sponges have a rougher material sewn to the sponge to help with scrubbing. I've had the sponges for about 1.5 months and the sewed on backing is still in tact. The round brush has a longer handle is ideal for rinsing off dishes before putting them in the dishwasher. I typically use this brush so it gets more wear than the rest of the set. I noticed the design of this brush allows for the brush portion to be removed from the handle for ease of replacement and less waste. I'd be interested if Tieralia offered sets of individual replacements of each brush/sponge type so that I could replace each item as needed.
Overall this is a great dish brush set to add to anyone's small sustainable efforts. It's also great to support a minorty-owned business!
