Banneton Cleaning Brush – Natural Bristles & Beechwood Handle
Elevate your bread-making routine with our natural banneton cleaning brush – the essential tool to keep your proofing baskets clean, fresh, and ready for every bake.
Designed specifically for sourdough bakers, this brush gently removes flour and dough from the ridges of your rattan banneton without causing damage. Made from sustainable materials, it’s the eco-friendly way to care for your baking tools and extend their life.
Crafted with firm natural tampico bristles and a smooth beechwood handle, it provides the perfect balance between effective cleaning and gentle care. Simple, sustainable, and built to last – just brush, tap, and store your banneton dry for next time.
Features
- Natural tampico bristles: Firm enough to lift residue, gentle on rattan.
- Solid beechwood handle: Comfortable, durable, and completely plastic-free.
- Universal design: Works with round or oval bannetons, lined or unlined.
- Low maintenance: A quick brush after each use keeps mould and build-up away.
- Compostable at end of life: Made entirely from natural, biodegradable materials.
How to Use
- After tipping your loaf, let the banneton dry completely in a warm, airy spot.
- Brush the interior along the ridges to remove dried flour and crumbs.
- Tap out any remaining dust and store your banneton somewhere dry until next bake.
Deep Clean (Occasional)
For a seasonal refresh: brush thoroughly, then lightly mist with white vinegar and allow to air dry fully in a sunny, breezy spot. Avoid soaking — excess moisture can cause mould and weaken natural fibres.
Care
- Do not soak. Keep dry between uses.
- Shake or tap out flour after brushing.
- If bristles splay, rinse quickly in warm water, reshape with fingers, and air dry.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to wash my banneton?
No — never soak your banneton. After baking, simply let it dry fully and use this brush to remove flour and crumbs. Washing with water can weaken the rattan and lead to mould growth.
Will the brush scratch my banneton?
Not at all. The natural tampico bristles are firm enough to lift flour build-up but soft enough to avoid scratching or fraying the rattan fibres. It’s designed specifically for gentle care.
Can I use this brush on lined bannetons?
Yes. For removable linen liners, shake out the flour and air dry after each use. You can also use the brush gently over lined bannetons to remove loose flour.
How often should I clean my banneton?
Give it a quick brush after every bake once the banneton is dry. A deeper clean with a light vinegar mist can be done every few months or if you notice excess build-up.
What is the brush made from?
Each brush is made from 100% natural materials — a smooth beechwood handle and plant-based tampico bristles. It’s entirely plastic-free and compostable at the end of its life.
Can I use this for other kitchen tools?
Yes, it’s great for gently cleaning wooden boards, rolling pins, or bread baskets. Just keep it dry between uses to extend its lifespan.
Note: As this item is made from natural materials, slight variations in colour and grain are normal.
Let customers speak for us
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf
Good sized banneton for a standard size sourdough loaf. I'll probably get another, which says it all.

Banneton
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit
One of the most useful tools in the sourdough kit. Gets right down to the bottom of the starter jar. It gets a lot of use, and is something I'd gladly buy again when it wears out. Or get's eaten by the starter - sometimes it's a real wrestle with the darn beast hanging on to it, spitting and snarling.

Dough spatula
Great jar for sourdough starter
Great jar for sourdough starter. Does what it needs to do, which is, a) be a jar, b) stop your starter from escaping the lab and taking over the world. Good wooden lid for when the creature is napping in the fridge, and a cloth lid for when you Feed the Beast and let it do it's work

Active Dough-eating beast
Great starter - active and making sourdough very quickly. I've been using Bake With Jack's sourdough starter scrapings method to minimise waste and it works perfectly: https://youtu.be/LddGEfOs-_M?si=grPzxrmwc6WPd37-

Hungry Critters
Amazing that you can send live critters in a bag in the post. Took the little fellas a day or two to wake up, but now they're munching through milk at a rate I can barely keep up with. The creature production line has rapidly expanded to two jars which produce kefir as fast as we can glug it. Our bowels rejoice.

White plastic dough scraper thingamabob.
It's a white plastic wotsit that scrapes dough. Probably the one item in the sourdough kits that I use most. This, along with the banneton, jar and dough spatula are all you need to make sourdough. The rest of the kit is just clutter.
I'd recommend https://www.bakewithjack.co.uk/blog-1/2018/7/5/sourdough-loaf-for-beginners for a super-simple no fuss method.
