Lakeland washing-up brushes

In case it's of any interest to anyone, we bought a pack of two Lakeland "Professional Washing Up Brushes" nearly three years ago. Current price on their site is £5.99 (for two brushes).

We also bought a Lakeland "Home Professional Plus Washing Up Brush" which is currently £2.29.

These brushes have been used exactly the same, day in day out, and so far the results are ...

"Professional Washing Up Brushes" - first one lasted two years and two months, second one still good as new after four months and counting

"Home Professional Plus Washing Up Brush" - fit for the bin after 9 weeks ...

    That's interesting. We have been using the Professional Washing Up brushes because they seem to last for ever. I needed to replace our last one (have no idea when I replaced it before but it could well have been two years ago) and was in LL today. I looked at the Home Prof Plus one and decided to stick with the tried and tested pack of two instead. Your post made me think I'd made the right decision. Thanks.

    Have you told lake land? In my experience they are always keen to get info like this so it can be fed back to their buyers.

    Haven't bothered - I'm sure they know exactly how the ones that they sell compare ;)
