Review on 🖌️ Versatile Casabella Multicolor Clear Sponge Brush - Plum/Lime/Orange (1 EA) by Jon Thibeault

I've been using this every day since I bought it and I still love it. The handle is strong, rounded and thick enough for a secure grip. (Flat handles are painful for my arthritis, but this rounder, fuller handle is comfortable.) The handle is also long enough to use in my larger 20+ oz thermos-style travel mugs. As for cleaning the bottle sponge, it never got "rough" or "uncomfortable" as mentioned in other reviews. Perhaps my routine is sufficient to prevent this. I usually wash my travel bottle/mug with soapy water, employ a sponge brush and apply appropriate pressure by swirling it around in the bottle. I remove the sponge brush and rinse the bottle/mug and sponge brush under running water. I sometimes rinse the bottle/mug in the bathroom, but my sponge brush is always rinsed under the tap, squeezed and placed in a drying/storage canister. I never leave dishes and sponges in dirty water. When the bottle/cup is washed/rinsed/put out to dry, so is my bottle sponge. I use it DAILY to clean a few 20+ ounce travel mugs soiled with butter coffee, as well as regular drinking glasses. I never put it in the dishwasher or cleaned it in the microwave as I didn't feel the slightest need. I've been so pleased with its performance that I ordered another one a few months ago, not because the year-old needed to be replaced but out of concern that they might then become unavailable. With proper care (not left in standing dirty water) they are great and long lasting.
