Any uses for an old hairbrush

Hi all, just wondered if anyone had any clever ideas for an old hairbrush before I throw it away!!!! (it seems a waste!) It's one of the hard bristle types in a rubber 'cushion'. It's really had its day as a brush; cushion mouldy and bristles sort of 'gungy' despite have been washed (yuk) hence why I bought a new one!

Thanks

  • ...long shot but might it do for dog / cat brushing?

    I was going to say that too - I use hairbrushes on my horses mane and tail too - its much kinder to it than a dandy brush, and MUCH quicker than a body brush!

    In fact - I'll have it.......

    if its going mouldy you wouldnt want to use it on animals though would you?

    Sorry I cant think of a use - not old style but I would chuck it in the bin
