Hi there. I've bought some cleaning brushes/tools. Ive never bothered before because I've used old brushes. Cloths etc.
How do you recommend cleaning these so they last please?

    I sprayed my brushes with muck off and gave it a rinse worked a treat.

    Can buy a new nail brush or scrubbing brush from Asda for 75p.

    Stick them in the dishwasher when the other halfs out. Even better strip your bike down and put the dirty parts in as well, you really won't need to use the brushes then.

    Get a second set of brushes to clean the brushes....its obvious.

    I clean my drivetrain with a paintbrush (with tape on the ferrule) and use Gunk engine cleaner. The whole bike gets a soaping and a rinse, along with the brushes at the same time, so I've never had to wash my cleaning brushes separately.
