Description

A brush that actually earns its place by the sink.

The OXO Good Grips Bottle Brush is one of those small, unglamorous tools that makes fermentation — and life — a lot less frustrating.

Why it matters:

  • Durable neck easily reaches into jars, pitchers, and awkward corners.
  • Firm bristles scrub stubborn residue without scratching delicate glass.
  • Comfortable grip, even when your hands (and patience) are slippery.
  • Dishwasher safe, because you’re already doing enough.

I cycled through plenty of “good enough” brushes before finding this one.
It holds up. It cleans beautifully. It doesn’t make a simple task feel harder than it should.

Whether you’re rinsing out fermentation jars after a long ferment, or keeping kefir bottles fresh and clean —
this brush just quietly does its job.
And sometimes, that's exactly what you need.

Small tools, real care, better fermenting.
