OXO Good Grips Grout Brush Reviews Summary

Bristle Quality

Pros:

• "The bristles are strong and do not shed with use, even when applying pressure for deep cleaning."
• "This brush is durable, high quality and has a great rubber grip - it's built well."
• "Great brush, great grip, and strong bristles."
• "This brush is very high quality. It is sturdy, and the handle makes it easy to use."
• "The bristles on this brush are stiff enough to do a good job, and just soft enough to be a bit pliable."
• "The bristles are still stiff and work like new."
• "The bristles are strong, angled for corners."

Cons:

• "I have stuff I needed to scrub really hard to get clean. The bristles on this brush bend and fold over."
• "The bristles are really soft and splay out when using so I am not sure how much is actually staying in the grout line and scrubbing the grout."
• "Bristles wore down quickly cleaning my grout. Became less effective after first 20 minutes."
• "The bristles at the top of this have bent in after 1 use and just not getting into the corners now."
• "After one use, and I only scrubbed about 5 foot square, the bristles are all bent and separated."
• "The bristles seem to splay out easily when using any sort of force."
• "After the first use, the bristles had already started to splay out and the brush lost much of its effectiveness."

Handle Design and Comfort

Pros:

• "Sturdy. Comfortable grip. Can really put some muscle behind cleaning and the bristles hold up."
• "It is constructed well, and designed well, so the hand doesn't get tired."
• "Good handle, grip is comfortable."
• "The handle is comfortable and it's good for cleaning grout in between tiles in the shower."
• "It is lightweight and has an ideal arc to the handle which allows you to scrub out the grout lines without rubbing out your knuckles."
• "Very ergonomically designed brush. Fits well and sits nicely in your hand while scrubbing grout."
• "The rubber on the handle provides good grip and the shape is excellent for grout cleaning and for hard to reach areas."

Cons:

• "Once my hands got wet, it was difficult to hold on to and finding the right angle to apply brushing force was nearly impossible."
• "The handling was weird to hold for me but it does scrubs well and does its purpose still."
• "Handle might be ergonomic, but the brush is way too thick for line of grout."
• "It’s sometimes kinda awkward to hold but it’s still a lot easier than the 'triangle' loop scrubbing brushes."
• "The handling was weird to hold for me but it does scrubs well and does its purpose still. Just wish it was a little bit bigger so my hands didnt have to squeeze in it."
• "First, I would have a longer handle. With the short handle, it's definitely a hands-and-knees operation."
• "Perhaps it was the amount of elbow grease required, but the bristles have fallen out of shape."

Effectiveness and Durability

Pros:

• "This brush is worlds above the cheap ones you find at your local hardware store."
• "Not only good for cleaning the grout in tiles, but also very good for cleaning around the base of taps and those awkward places to get at especially with the longer bristles."
• "The price is right and the tool is appropriate for the job."
• "This thing needs to be in every cleaning kit. Bristles, handle, everything is just right to get the job done comfortably."
• "I'm impressed with this brush. I had some dirty grout in my kitchen and this brush knocked it out with ease and it didn't even bend the bristles."
• "This brush does clean the grout very well, in a short time."
• "This brush does all I hoped it would. It gets into the corners and with little effort loosens dirt, etc."

Cons:

• "When you use it to scrub the grout, it splatters the cleaning material all over the place and it does not really clean the grout."
• "Very disappointed. Cleaning grout requires PRESSURE, and the bristles simply did not stand up."
• "This brush is not really a grout brush, as the bristles are too long and too soft to really scrub the grout."
• "If I had one complaint it is that when you scrub in a circular motion, it flips whatever you are scrubbing everywhere."
• "This grout brush is ok for light duty, but it doesn't hold up for heavy scrubbing."
• "The brush was good for one use. Not an exaggeration. Then the head fell out of the handle."
• "I used these brush ONE time and the bristles are already worn."
