I’m unclear on brushes - what kind? Artists brushes… paintbrushes after changing wall colors… barbecue grill brushes… your toothbrush? Really?
IMHO none of those go in my dishwasher. And I do not put sponges in there either. (Have you heard of bleach?)
I don’t want to contaminate or pollute my appliance with things that don’t belong there other than dishes, glass and silver ware, pots and pans. Still purrs like a kitten 22 yrs later. USA Gundy
The one I have had for must be 10 years has a rubber sucker on the end for sticking on the drainer or in the sink to allow to drain. Can't go in dushwasher due to rubber. I just scald with boiling water from kettle once a day then leave to drain. Also bought a cheap one with a replaceable brush head for only £3 from B & MNOP!
Vanillasky, I apologised when my dog decided to drag her backside along the cotton drop cloths the decorator had put down. 'Don't worry' he said 'I rinse out the paint rollers - then they and the cloths go in the washing machine when the wife is out'.
I also put my <Lakeland Wash Up Wiz Net Scourer in the dishwasher, hooked on the prongs on the top part. It's the most expensive scourer I've ever come across but it lasts for years - or perhaps for ever, unless I lose it.
never really given it much thought to be honest. I changed my cloth every day, through it into the washing machine until a washing is next done. Use bamboo scrubbers.
