THEY ARE NOT STIFF ENOUGH AND THE NYLON BRISTELS DONT CUT THE CRAP WELL.  I HAVE ALWAYS MADE MY OWN. I USE THE HEAVY COAT HANGERS AND FORM ROUGH STEEL WOOL INTO A STRING THAT IS THICKER THAN YARN. I BEND A LITTLE HOOK ON THE TIP OF A STRECHED OUT HANGER AND PROCEED TO WRAP THE WOOL YARN TIGHTLY IN THE BEND . THEN I CRIMP THE BEND CLOSED WITH A PAIR OF PLIERS.  THIS TYPE BRUSH CLEANS BETTER THAN ANY OTHERS I HAVE TRIED, AND I HAVE TRIED THEM ALL.  I WILL SEND A PIC OF ONE LATER. _____________________________ diggerjeff I DIG, THEREFORE I AM.

I also use steel wool, a nice wet soapy SOS pad pulled apart to make a rope that will accommodate the neck size, then I use a small plastic hooked stick the kind you find on cat play toys, for larger bottles a sawn down to one finger back scratcher stick works well, I use the hook to gather up the wool once inside and for extraction just make sure you use water and some soap so you dont scratch the bottle.....

They are great brushes, with nylon bristles and cotton ends to help clean the bottom and corners of the bottle.  I've used them for many years and work out great! You can see the website at http://www.leevalley.com/garden/page.aspx?c=2&p=10209&cat=2,50560 Here is a photo of the brushes: Attachment (1) (in reply to tazmainiendigger) Post #: 9

With cleaning , l have had good luck with large gun cleaning brushes. They are made of copper. They are good for small bottles. With a big size like a 20 gauge or 12 gauge brush . l just bend the tip over a little with a pair of pliers. And use soap and hot water. Thanx for your time............................................................ chrisp (in reply to frank) Post #: 10
