Bottle Brushes

I have a toddler and I still can't give up the bottle brush! Should I be worried? I keep finding new uses for them and I don't think I will be able to NOT have on at my kitchen sink!

I use it still for sippy cups and other cups that I can't get my hands into because they are shaped oddly.

I've been known to use an old one to clean out flower vases before I toss it.

What uses have you found for the bottle brush?

I don't have kids, so I don't have baby bottles to wash, but just last night I was washing out a vase and could not reach the bottom of the inside to clean off the dirt. I was wishing there was some kind of cleaning tool to be able to clean it. From what you have written, I now know there is such a tool! Thanks Laura. :)
And I wouldn't worry about keeping the brushes around. I would think they would be very handy for washing lots of things!

I use them for cleaning glasses. The bottom of tall glasses can be hard to reach. I also use them for cleaning vases, or anything tall and skinny that my hand won't fit down into, such as a carafe or decantuer.

They are great for cleaning out vases!

I agree with a few here, great for vases.

I had the same problem, until it wore out. After that I was at a local Dollar Tree and found a vegetable with a nice handle. What luck.

bongs...LOL Ok I'm not going back to that stage. Travis you're a trip.

It's good you still find uses for bottle brushes Laura. I don't use them anymore and if you're mean the bristled kind I hated those. I did find the spongy kind very useful, but they don't last as long.

Now, I need to get a bottle brush! Thanks for the idea because there are lots of things I can get the husband to use it for...since he's my dishwasher! Salud.
Laura H. Mar 29, 2007, 10:15pm EDT
Great ideas, thanks.
Travis... umm... I'll add that to the list. You're a riot.
JoAnne, I visit the padded room often :)

I use mine to scrub potatos. Isn't that aweful? LOL

They are good for getting mud out of the tread on your hiking boots.

i love the bottle brush, even though we never used bottles for lillie, we had one from a gift somewhere and i have bought more replacements, since then. besides vases, etc., i use it to clean behind the faucet in the kitchen - ti is a tight fit and sort of weird to get in to clean.

I don't have any bottle brushes- but I do have similar things I got in a container of dishwashing brushes----am I making sense?
