OXO Grips Clean Brush Orange Reviews Summary

Handle and Grip

Pros:

• "They are much easier to hold because of the grip and they are angled to the best position for scrubbing a surface instead of your teeth."
• "These OXO Good Grips Deep Clean Brushes have the handles angled back which makes it easier on my wrists when scrubbing something like the grout in my bathtub surround."
• "The handle fits perfect in your hand therefore makes it easier to scrub with and the size of the brushes are great too!"
• "These are ergonomically designed so that you can place your index or thumb fingers on the padded brush head and give it some elbow grease if need be."
• "The handles have a matte silicone-type coating so they are easy to grip firmly even when wet."
• "The rubberized ergonomic handles make holding them a pleasure, and the tough plastic base of the handles hold up well to pressure."
• "The handles are also a nice and comfortable shape and size."

Cons:

• "The brush with the right angle tip does not do well getting into any 'hard-to-reach' places."
• "I wish the handles were a little bit skinnier for reaching into tight spaces."
• "I wish the handle was about 4-inches longer to make it easier to clean around the center console and grooves underneath the seats."
• "The hard plastic top of the brushes were too wide on the plastic part that kept the bristles far away from the shower door groove bottom."
• "The brush angle makes it hard to clean anything head-on such as the bottom of mugs or vases."
• "The angle of the handle also keeps my knuckles from banging against surfaces when cleaning around tight spaces which was a problem using old toothbrushes or larger scrub brushes."
• "However, the bristles on the smaller one have completely been destroyed and no longer form any cohesive tool with which to scrub."

Bristle Quality

Pros:

• "They have also held up better, the bristles are still straight, not squishing out."
• "Bristles are strong enough to brush away grit and grime without scratching."
• "The bristles are resilient, springing back to vertical and not staying mooshed over or fanned out."
• "The bristles are stiff and strong, and angled to reach into cracks and tight areas."
• "Bristles are not all splayed - still firm and looks like it will hold up for many uses."
• "The bristles are just stiff enough to get into those hard to reach places and keep their shape, will get the job done."
• "The bristles are stiff enough to actually clean in the little cracks and crevices and not get mooshed into uselessness."

Cons:

• "The bristles are not as strong as I wish them to be."
• "After approximately eight more uses I threw away the larger brush. The bristles are the problem; they became flimsy and warped."
• "I wish the bristles were a little more durable as they’re like a tooth brush and after a few uses they start to bend and fold."
• "The bristles also wore down quickly. They frayed and mushed together in only 5 uses."
• "The bristles were firm to the touch but melted under medium pressure, looking like a 6 month old toothbrush, flat and useless."
• "I’ve also noticed even though they’ve been used very limited my that the brushes are starting to bend/misshapen so the durability is also just not going to be there."
• "These are a good size, but they don't keep their sturdiness. I've used them around sink drains, faucets and initially they were perfect. But sadly after 4 or 5 uses they are wearing down. Not holding shape."

Design and Functionality

Pros:

• "This is a great brush set for reaching into small spaces."
• "A perfect duo that really get the job done."
• "Also the small one has shaped bristles for getting into edges that works great!"
• "The bent handles allowed for better maneuvering and positioning to get to those hard to reach places where gunk collects."
• "The little silicone pointy end on the smaller brush is perfect for getting the gunk out of the space around the drain and the sink and the countertop."
• "The rubber tip on the small one makes it easy to swab out the gunk you loosen."
• "The one brush is mitered so it can clean those little sneaky places."

Cons:

• "The other side of the tool - the little pointed wedge - is absolutely useless."
• "The smaller brush did not make it past the kitchen sink and rubber tip is useless."
• "IDK WHY I thought the bristles of these brushes would be as strong as steel wool. Alas, they are NOT."
• "Next, I tried it for the area where the faucet connects to the sink. Nope, not enough abrasion."
• "We haven't found any use for the wiper blade at the end of the smaller brush yet."
• "I also wish one of them had a hard flat edge for scraping stuck-on gunk."
• "The one with the blade is kinda useless, the brush was soft and the blade don't do anything at all."

Value and Durability

Pros:

• "They're reasonably priced and work very well so I can't see going back to old toothbrushes."
• "The brushes are also very high quality and I expect they will last for quite a long time."
• "They hold up MUCH better than toothbrushes."
• "OXO 1285700 Good Grips Deep Clean Brush Set have already paid for themselves since I've not needed to replace them!"
• "Bought this pair several months ago, and they're still going strong."
• "Bottle brushes and other cleaning brushes usually last for six to twelve months depending upon use and I expect these to easily survive that long."
• "Inexpensive, affordable, and sturdy, these cleaning brushes should last years."

Cons:

• "It's a shame because I truly am fan of Good Grips. On a positive note, the price matches the quality."
• "Is it worth the price? Yes but I do wish they were a little less spendy."
• "Price is high, but brushes appear to be of good quality."
• "After about 4 or 5 years I finally wore my first set out!!! These are the best!"
• "I dislike this because I never received this. They took payment out, then credited it back because it was out of stock. Reordered again, payment came out. Still never received them."
• "It would be better if they sold two large and eliminate the smaller one all together."
• "These sturdy brushes are a great value if only to avoid stab-wound medical bills."

• "I’m sure these are wicked good for cleaning, but I use the larger brush for painting."

Cons:

• "They're too small for big jobs."
• "Can't clean the hard stuffs that was sticking on tiles because it wasn't clean long time ago."
• "The brushes were too harsh for this type of use and too bulky."
• "I used this to clean my juicing machine. The brushes were too harsh for this type of use."
• "I am not sure why we bought these. To clarify, I am not sure why my wife bought these. They have remained under the kitchen sink exactly how they came out if the box since the day they arrived."
• "Sadly, it did not work."
• "I will go back to using denture brushes and wouldn't buy these again."
