We've just realised that our washing-up brush is two years old today!
I do the washing-up twice a day in very hot water indeed, and I got fed up of buying a new brush every few months, so I thought I'd give one of Lakeland's "Professional" ones a go.
I can't remember exactly when we broke even on it, but we've certainly been showing a profit on washing-up brushes (if you see what I mean) for at least the last six months - and the thing still shows no sign of wearing out!
Highly recommended if you hate forever spending money on washing up brushes!

A positive attitude won't solve all your problems, but with luck it'll annoy enough people to make the effort worthwhile.

Sorry, should have said. We got the two for £5.99 ones, which I seem to recall were cheaper than that at the time.
Maybe by the time I need to start the second one, the price will have gone up again so we'll have saved even more!

I use the Vileda ones - they usually last us at least a year and cost 99p.
Then our Hootys shop closed and I shall have to lash out £2 each at Sainsbugs.
Oh well .. still better than buying the cheapos that have bristles that clag up!!Normal people worry me.0 -
