The new brush has longer bristles and a thicker bamboo head that is less prone to cracking. It is designed to last longer and create more suds when you wash dishes. The handle features a nicer hook that can be more easily hooked in various places in your kitchen. It is faster to replace the head (no more pliers needed) as the metal clasp is shaped better. 

This removable-head dish brush has a Moso Bamboo handle and brush head, with stiff agave fiber (vegan) plant bristles. It is held together with silver metal wire, and includes a small wire loop at the end for hanging dry.

Replacing the brush head: Squeeze the wires together, loosen the metal grip, and pop off the brush head. Just slide a new brush head on and replace the metal grip that holds it tight.
