Nailbrushes - a thing of the past?

Casdon
I use gardening gloves. I am a clean person with extremely clean fingers nails you will have to take my word on this.
Nail brushes are in my opinion pretty much unnecessary.

Use nailbrushes all the time. Couldn't find them in Boots last time. Will now look on line.

I have and use them. Little novelty ones in the bathrooms and a plain old standard one at the kitchen sink. When I see those females with inch long nails on tv I do wonder how on earth they keep them clean. Can't imagine them using a nail brush on them.

The Housekeeper at the school I worked at a few years ago placed nailbrushes at each washbasin in the girls’ toilets. During a Health and Safety inspection by the local Council, she was told to remove them as they were unhygienic.

I had to buy a couple of nailbrushes for DD and SiL, having found none in their house after I'd been doing some gardening for them. (They don't garden apart from mowing their patch, I find it a bit sad.)

We have a nailbrush at each handbasin and use them! I even take one on holiday with me.

I have one by each basin & in the shower,looked locally and could only find plastic ones.

Yes gardener here and used to be evenings at bridge club so need to keep hands smart. I would see them in Poundshop and Tiger shop. Yes take on hols with a small bar of soap as wash things out to reduce packing.

I occasionally use a nailbrush. He's a little round turtle - with the brush as feet - I bought for my toddlers' nails. The toddlers are now 34 and 31. The turtle is still as chirpy and effective as ever.

Same as lixy, wooden nail brushes. Very cheap here. I paid 35p each for them from home bargains. I bought 10 and gave them out. All converts now. Apparently they are not in plain sight. The grandkids love them, not so much the soap.

Superdrug and boots do them i think i got a couple a few months back.Some supermarkets still do them in home section.Dont know why you could not find any Blondiescot.

Good tip, Yammy.

Another user here.

It seems to be the older generation that use them most.

We still have one in each bathroom, but rarely use them except after gardening.

We have them at home and at work. I think you just know young people without nail brushes 😂

I trained as a nurse when hygiene was paramount, wards maids took a great pride in keeping their ward in pristine condition. We used nail brushes on patients with extremely dirty fingernails.
Present day, nail brushes would be bottom of the risk of infection list re the lack of hygiene which I have witnessed in hospitals now. Oh the irony!

That was a wee while ago, but honestly I looked in so many different places and couldn't find any. Funnily enough though, my FiL, who is in a care home now, requested one just today and I've just come back from Home Bargains, where they had lots, for the princely sum of 39p each!

We have one in each bathroom and one in our utility room.All wooden ones from the body shop.I use them all the time as always gardening. Although I have gardening gloves and wear them for heavy duty jobs I find them annoying after a while.Ans actually don't mind getting soil under my nails.

DH always has a nail brush on the go but is particularly vigorous at brushing his nails so they never last long. I recently went in search of a new brush and ended up having to get one shaped like a chicken from Savers. It's far to small for him but he actually quite likes it.

I have nail brush in bathroom and kitchen.

Dd also has nailbrush in bathroom and gsons use it, one is 16 yrs other 8 yrs (thats the gsons not the nail brush)

I always used to keep one in the downstairs loo, goodness knows where it’s gone though! I do like clean nails.

You can buy them at Wilko…. AND any chemist . And I always use one especially after gardening . Weird thing about clocks …. my daughter hadn’t a clock in house or my son in law hadn’t either….. I love clocks and have one in every room.

I scrape some soap under my nails before gardening and then, when you wash your hands and scrub your nails afterwards the soap washes out with the dirt.

Always need one after gardening and hubby often uses one too.

Funnily enough, my husband was recently asked to supply some for one of his clients (he runs a cleaning company) and we couldn't find any anywhere. We eventually had to order some online.

Bodycare have some nail brushes and flannels , nail files and generic medicines and Ibuprofen gel. All much cheaper than the multiple high street pharmacy.

Yes have one in the bathroom and one in the kitchen, use them after guddling around in the polytunnel and getting soot off my hands after cleaning the fire. Wouldn't be without them.
