• Wire cleaning brushes with carbon steel or brass bristles for grills, ovens and heavy-duty scrubbing tasks.
• Multi-head glass washer brushes for fast, efficient cleaning of pint glasses and stemware at the bar.
• Durable, commercial-grade construction designed to withstand regular use with professional cleaning chemicals.
• Options suitable for both front-of-house and back-of-house cleaning routines in restaurants, cafes and hotels.

How to choose the right Hand Brushes

• Match the brush type to the task, choosing nail brushes for personal hygiene, detail brushes for fixtures and wire brushes for heavy-duty surfaces.
• Consider bristle stiffness, using stiff bristles for baked-on grime and softer bristles for delicate finishes such as glass or polished metal.
• Select sizes and shapes that suit your space, from compact hand brushes for tight areas to larger multi-brush units for busy bar counters.
• Check compatibility with your preferred cleaning chemicals to ensure bristles and handles remain durable over time.
• Think about service volume; high-turnover bars and kitchens benefit from heavier-duty, commercial-grade brushes.
• Review ergonomic features such as grip design to reduce fatigue during long cleaning shifts.

Care and maintenance

• Rinse brushes thoroughly after each use to remove food particles, grease and chemical residues.
• Allow brushes to air dry fully between shifts to prevent bacterial growth and unpleasant odours.
• Clean and sanitise nail brushes and glass washer brushes regularly, especially in food and drink contact areas.
• Inspect bristles frequently and replace brushes when they become worn, bent or excessively soft.
• Avoid using the same brush for incompatible tasks to reduce cross-contamination between kitchen, washroom and bar areas.
• Store brushes off the floor on racks or hooks to keep them clean, dry and ready for the next service.
