This brush is an awesome dishwashing tool. Not only for bottles and jars, but just turn it sideways and it is super effective on plates, cutlery... anything. That way you can use the same tool for all the dishes at the same wash session. I love the natural composition, it has positive vibes and a real sense of sustainability. Actually this one is the second I've purchased since I was reckless and failed to heed the care instructions causing the handle to separate from the brush. I had a great idea to drill a hole from the end of the handle and extend a wire through it to the brush. However, I misplaced the brush with several dozen other "Projects" so I just ordered a new one which has not come apart since I followed directions this time. I strongly recommend that you question authority but follow directions regarding dish washing brushes! Peace and Love to All.
