EcoTools Bamboo Foot Brush and Pumice

Best foot scrubber and pumice type stone tool I've found. Bought my 1st at Kmart 4 years ago. Easiest to hold as some are awkward and when soapy, drop a lot. I actually like that the rough side "sheds" because it doesn't collect oily soap, dirt, skin like real stones which then become smooth and disgusting. I'm a medically licensed therapist, worked in spas, home remedy/DIY, natural remedies yet ALL science type person for decades (70s). If you know a thing, you should share it -is my motto. Use with or without soap in SHOWER or tub instead of wash cloth, never half dry after. I'll share...In 90s, did a pedicure at work, i was given some file paddles they used so I could slough at home like they did. But a week later feet snag on sheets, carpet. Maybe I'm old, need more lotion, something10 years later, I try a pumice stone in the SHOWER/wet and Eureka!! My normal soft feet are back!I know, we see all that "dead" skin rolling off during pedicure and think, omg I needed this! It's normal to molt, shed a few times a year. But, those file paddles are tearing your good skin up because it's soaked, loosened half dry skin when done. They are meant to use on completely dry, dry callouses.Almost forgot, for me these bristles on brush side are perfect Goldilocks. Not to rough for other areas of too soft to be ineffective. Note: we do have more nerve endings on front of body or certain areas. You'll figure out what works best for you. We're all different.Dry brushing is actually a spa service an you can see and smell dead cells, yuck. Use the pumice side on bottoms of your feet to clean them EVERY time you shower and you'll get your old feet back! Absolutely necessary in sandle season and for me, 1x a week in winter. Brush stimulates skin so promotes new growth.

These days the highlight of my shower is scrubbing my feet with this brush. I hadn't had a pedicure in over a year so you can imagine how rough and chapped my feet were, always having whitish lines near the ball of my feet. After the first scrub my feet were SO smooth, I couldn't believe it! I only bought this brush so I would get free shipping but boy am I glad I bought it! My feet are so soft I can't stop rubbing them against each other!UPDATE, July 2013:After using this brush all this while, it still works great but the drawback I noticed is that the glue used to stick the pumice to the bamboo isn't usually very strong. I now have 3 brushes which have lost their pumice. In any case the 'scrubability' of the pumice had worn out almost by the time that happened so it was time to replace the brush. Plan to use about 4 of these a year (no wonder they sell a a pack of 4!)

I wanted a good brush for my feet while in the shower or doing pedicures. This brush cleans up my feet nicely, and gets toes super clean. Pumice stone scrubs light calluses away easily. Happy I picked this brush, good value and sure to last if you dry it well after each use.

I'm a big fan of this brush! Having the pumice attached to the brush makes it easy to use, and the brush itself is a nice way to brush off the extra bits of skin scrapings left on my foot after a vigorous use of the pumice stone. I have found that the pumice tends to get filmy and dirty over time, which is the main reason I've had to replace this brush now and again--the filth embedded in the pumice stone gets unbearable long before the stone itself gets worn down much!

This is not the first of these pumice eco tools that I have purchased. This particular one is my absolute favorite! I have tried others but these last and quickly take care of rough skin on my feet. And all pumice tools are not the same. I ordered another brand and it was pretty useless. My daughter in law got a metal one and ended up with bleeding feet!This gently takes calluses and smooth roughness and allows me to put lotion on which keeps my over 65 feet soft and keeps me comfortably on my feet.

Perfect size and did the job

I love the bristles on this brush. They are not too hard, and not too soft. I was surprised that people reviewing this felt that the bristles were too soft; they must have a lot of calluses. I also loved the pumice, it was just right. I used it in the shower, which they said was less abrasive (rather than using the pumice dry when out of the shower). However, the pumice fell off on the second night I used the brush. I spent some time looking for some kind of glue that would work on the hardened glue that was left when the pumice fell off, and would also work on the rough underside of the pumice. After looking for a while, I realized that it's really hard for me to stand on one foot, and bend my other leg up so I can reach my foot with this brush. I really needed this brush to have a long handle, just like their Eco Tools Bath Brush. Oh well. I wish this company would make this foot brush with a long handle, and figure out how to glue on their pumice. So I ended up buying the Miracle Foot Brush 30" Miracle Foot Brush with Scrubbing Pumice Stone and Shower Grip Handle. But I really miss the wonderful bristles on the Eco Tools Foot Brush.

This is actually my 2nd or 3rd brush of this type from EcoTools. Be aware, the bristles are firm to hard (depending on your tolerance). For my household, and the way we utilize this brush -- the firmness and sturdiness is perfect!!! Side Note: the very first brush I bought is still here and usable -- assuming you keep it clean, and dry it out appropriately, this brush will last for a long time. Yup, this is an actual review from an actual purchaser, so I say #BuyIt
