The Burgon & Ball RHS Hand Scrub Brush is proof that small tools can make a big difference. Designed for those who like to keep their garden space neat and their equipment in good condition, this brush brings together thoughtful materials, tactile comfort, and proven performance.
Created in partnership with the Royal Horticultural Society, it’s crafted from FSC certified hardwood that fits neatly into the palm of your hand. The compact shape provides full control when cleaning smaller surfaces, and its smooth, wax-finished body feels comfortable even through longer scrubbing sessions. Each piece is carefully finished, showing the grain of the wood and reflecting Burgon & Ball’s long tradition of fine toolmaking.
The bristles are made from natural bassine, a tough yet flexible fibre from the palmyra palm. Short and stiff, they excel at removing dirt, algae, and grime from garden tools, pots, decking, and outdoor furniture. Unlike synthetic alternatives, bassine has a natural resilience that holds its shape and gives a satisfying resistance when scrubbing. It’s particularly effective for cleaning off dried compost or green growth without damaging surfaces.
The compact size of this brush makes it ideal for getting into tight spaces and corners where larger brushes can’t reach. It’s the perfect companion for tidying pots, refreshing patio slabs, or even giving the BBQ a clean after a summer of use. Its strength lies in its simplicity — no gimmicks, just dependable, well-balanced craftsmanship.
Endorsed by the RHS and backed by Burgon & Ball’s two-year guarantee, this brush is built to last. Every detail reflects the care that goes into its making, from the smooth edges to the perfectly set bristle density. It’s designed for real use in real gardens, where tools earn their place through reliability and comfort.
This isn’t a throwaway item; it’s a well-made, hardworking tool that makes you feel connected to the simple, satisfying side of gardening. For anyone who appreciates quality, it’s a pleasure to use and a staple that quickly becomes part of your regular routine.
