Not all brushes are created equal. Behind every Natural by Hillbrush brush is a story of carefully selected fibres, each chosen for its unique strength, texture, and purpose. Understanding the fibres we use means you can choose the perfect brush for every task — from scrubbing pots to grooming pets.
Tampico: The Versatile Classic
Tampico is a natural fibre harvested from the agave plant in Mexico. It has a medium stiffness, excellent water retention, and is heat resistant — making it perfect for dishwashing & pot brushes.
Union: The Sturdy Blend
A blend of tampico and palmyra fibres, union fibre is stiff and durable, ideal for tougher tasks. Think muddy boots, garden tools, and heavy-duty scrubbing — this fibre was built for the job.
Horsehair: Soft Yet Strong
Used in our grooming and polishing brushes, horsehair fibres are soft, flexible, and kind to delicate surfaces. They bring a touch of luxury to your self-care routine and are equally at home in equine grooming kits.
Coco: Light and Gentle
Coco fibres, made from coconut husks, are light and springy. They’re ideal for sweeping fine dust and are often used in household sweeping brooms.
Why Natural Matters
Unlike synthetic fibres, natural fibres are biodegradable and free from microplastics. When your brush reaches the end of its long life, it will return to the earth — not pollute it.
Which Brush Is Right for You?
Every task has a perfect tool. Whether you’re tackling dirty dishes, muddy boots, or pampering your pet, choosing the right fibre ensures efficiency, longevity, and sustainability.
Natural by Hillbrush has been crafting brushes since 1922. With every fibre carefully sourced and every brush thoughtfully made, you can trust that your choice is both effective and eco-conscious.
