Here is something for everybody to think about over Christmas, when conversation flags.
I am looking for a hand held scrubbing brush (to agitate stain removers) that doesn't get clogged up with fibres, and take ages to clear out.
Any suggestions welcome. Best wishes to all for Christmas and the New Year.

They were selling similar brushes to a horse brush in Tesco's for £2.50 a short time ago if that helps.

Long time no hear Neil, I'd recommend a nylon bristled brush with good spaces between the bristles you can get them from just about any cheap shop.

Have you tried the little bonnet mitts, I've been using them for several years to agitate prespray and deal with stubborn spots. Also, they don't do the damage a brush might.

What are you doing using a scrubbing brush for stain removal?

Brushes are for agitating pre-sprays. For stain, and usually spot removers, you need something much more gentle.  For small spots and stains I will use a bone spatula, or steel if appropriate. For larger, I have a plastic Addis scrubbing brush with two grades of bristle (from Tesco etc)  I dont use the brush for spotting, but part of the handle is moulded as a scraper, and this makes a terrific tool for gently agitating the larger spots.

The angled front part of the Addis brush is great for gently agitating pre-spray into perimeter draught marks, followed by a repeat with a towel prior to rinsing.

The best brush to be used for stain removal is a tamping brush used over a white towel.

SAFE and happy cleaning
Ken
