Review of Kong Toy Cleaning Brush


We have quite a few Kong toys for our larger bull terrier. We particularly like Kong toys, because our bully has a pretty gnarly bite, and he manages to destroy all of his toys within seconds of receiving them. Kong toys however are capable of withstanding his bite.


The odd shape of Kong balls however never really kept him all too occupied. They didn't do much, and all he could really do was pop it in his mouth and carry it around; which he did not do at all unless the ball was filled with cheese or peanut butter. Then, and only then would his Kong toys be worthy of messing around with for awhile.

We do however fill his Kong ball up with cheese and peanut butter, and after awhile the inside of it gets pretty disgusting if we do not clean it out properly. Usually running it under really hot water, and then sticking our finger into the hole would keep the toy clean.

We never really thought much about it, but when it needed to be cleaned, it became an annoying little chore, so when I came across this nifty little device made specifically for cleaning out Kong toys, I had to scoop it up.

It's called a Kong Toy Cleaning Brush, and looking at it, I realized that this tool would be a perfect solution to cleaning out the ball that our dog uses.

The brush is shaped just like the Kong Toys, and they come in medium/small or large/XL sizes in order to ensure proper cleaning on the correct sized Kong toy.
My Use:

The wand contains precisely shaped bristles to get to the corners of the toy, while brushing out all of the gunk left inside. The durable wands allows you to move the bristles back and forth in a circular motion in order to get a really good surface scrub inside of the toy.

I was surprised it worked as good as it did, but I still needed to run the toy under hot water to get loose any old food particles stuck to the side walls.

All in all the Kong Cleaning Brush is not the next best invention, but it certainly makes cleaning out Kong toys a heck of a lot easier, and we no longer have to shove out fingers into the inside of the toy in order to clean it out. It saves us time, and is neater than using your finger
Overall:
If you have a rather large collection of Kong Toys, or if you are just sick of sticking your finger into the inside of your dogs Kong toy, than I would highly suggest one of these brushes. The bristles are rough, and really give the toy a good cleaning.

Where To Buy:
I found the brush for sale at Marshall's for $2.99. You can find it just about anywhere Kong toys are sold, or online. It's worth the few dollars you will pay for it.
