Care and storage of pastry brushes

Proper care of bakery brushes plays a key role in ensuring the long life and hygienic use of this essential kitchen tool. Brushes should be rinsed thoroughly after each use, paying particular attention to the base of the pile where food residue can accumulate. The brushes should then be dried in a vertical position to prevent deformation of the pile and the appearance of unpleasant odors.

For storing pastry brushes it is recommended to use special containers or hanging systems, which ensure proper ventilation and protection from dust.

Pasty brushes require special care when cleaning. It is important to gently rinse the lint without sticking and to shape it into the correct position before drying. This will help to maintain the shape of the brush and prolong its life.
