Mascara Brush for cleaning.

I know there was a quick tips thread somewhere but cannot find it. I was just chucking out a mascara the other day, when looking at the brush I thought hmmm, that is a nice little brush - it must be useful for something.

It is! It is great for cleaning round the sides of the taps especially if you spray with a bit of limescale cleaner. Also it is brill for cleaning out a plug. You can twist it round and all the hairs come up out of the plug. Also good for cleaning the sides.

I used to use q tips for this messy job but not anymore! Not since I discovered my very handy mazzy brush.

Mods please move if this is in completely wrong place. :)

    I can confirm that it was brilliant around the knobs on the cooker, dishwasher & washing machine :T Fortunately DD had an old mascara that I could use the brush from. Its gone in my cleaning box under the sink now ;) Thanks.
