Washing up brushes ... be still my beating heart!!

Yes, because someone 🐕 does the prewash and takes them off into the garden. Don't ask!

Bleach

In all of the professional kitchens I ever worked in, which were many, we put washing-up brushes and pot scourers in the dishwasher at the end of our shifts along with washing cloths when the laundry let us down, cultlery trays etc.

I don't have a dishwasher so scald mine.

Where do you find decent ones that don’t cost a fortune?

I bought my current one from Waitrose. Good design and quality. I can't remember what it cost, but not a lot.

Apart from brushes - my favoutite line in Mamma Mia2 is as Christine Baranski first catches a glimpse of Andy Garcia "be still my beating".

Well, yes, Andy Garcia is just as gorgeous as a man can be.

Yes, I put mine either on the top shelf or in the cutlery canister depending on what space is free. I also bung any scrubbies I've been using in the canister. No problems so far.

Yes goes in with the utensils on top tray every day. I buy them for peanuts in Ikea.

I don't have a dishwasher so every morning when I boil the kettle for my tea I boil extra water, and put the washing up brush, j-cloth and metal scourer in the washing up bowl and pour the extra boiling hot water over them and leave to soak.

Yes, in the dishwasher top tray. No problems.

Have put toothbrushes through on 70° come out perfectly

Yes, dishwasher, during every run, on top cutlery shelf.

I've had the same dishwashing brush as long as I've had a dishwasher. At least weekly it goes in with the plates, mugs and anything else that needs washing. I've never thought of any other way of cleaning it. If it's good enough for the dishes, it stands to reason it's effective for the brush. I think it came, originally as one of a pair from Lakeland. Its partner vanished without trace -

No, Throw it away and (hang the expense) buy a new one.

Yes, I have done this with plastic washing-up brush. Top shelf. Cleans it with no problems.

As in washing paintbrushes up!

I can't use bleach because of the the biodigester. I think I will stick it in the dishwasher and await developments.

I immediately thought you meant paintbrushes 🙄

No I don’t use them and don’t have a dishwasher
I use dish clothes and those silver coloured scrubbers, the dish clothes go in the washing machine the scrubbers die a natural death 😂

Where do you find decent ones that don’t cost a fortune?

..Haven't got a dishwasher but a soaking in watered down bleach every now and again does the trick

I do. My dishwasher has the cutlery tray at the top and I put it in there. I only have cheap IKEA ones so no great loss if it didn't survive.

Can one?
