Lidl have packs of two for less the £2

Things like that I class as consumables, along with loo brushes, and change them regularly so don't spend a lot on them

I think that's a good point from a money saving point of view, but it doesn't help the planet (not a criticism, just an observation)! I too used to like the Lakeland brushes as they lasted well

I get where you are coming from ie - plastics

Im coming from a place where I think they are like loo brushes, only have a short shelf life

I personally don't use them as I find other products far more useful. We do have to use them in work but I buy new every month as I really cant be sure of what germs are hanging around the bristles ( working with raw food, we have to be very careful and our cleaning products are limited )

Could you not use bleach and/or boiling water to sterilize them between uses?

No

I work in food production, we are very very strict on what we can use on the tools of the trade and bleach is a no no

Plus we cant use the same brush on different machines

Most of our cleaning is with plain water through a pressure washer
