I found this brush like seven years ago and have never used anything since then for dishes. This is the best brush I have ever found hands down. I have literally given this item to family members as a gift and am always super impressed by the quality and convenience it provides. Soap, stiff bristles and the scraper on the end are all so useful. I highly recommend anyone purchase this product. Imitations always fall short. Don't fall for it! Get this for yourself! You will love it!!
