"this OXO bottle brush is stiff enough yet soft enough, and it lets you reach the bottom of the bottle no problem.""The bristles are firm, but not not too stiff, so they get into corners very well."
"The bristles are fairly soft which I like for wine glasses, and I note that a small amount of dish soap on the brush translates into an incredible amount of suds something about the way the bristles work maximizes the lather you get from a very small amount of soap."
"The plus side of the soft bristles is that you can get it into a bottle with a pretty small opening."

"It has been very challenging to get this film off the bottle and have the bottle cleaned and ready for the next batch to go in... this OXO bottle brush is stiff enough yet soft enough, and it lets you reach the bottom of the bottle no problem... We will be using this a lot and are so very pleased with the product.""* This is a nice brush that cleans bottles very well AND is made of materials that allow you to clean/sanitize the brush itself... The bristles are firm, but not not too stiff, so they get into corners very well... Also good for cleaning the water reservoir of coffee machines and other appliances."
"I got this specifically for cleaning my coffee carafe which is fairly deep and too narrow to put my hand into... The brush handle is flexible enough that you get some give as you scrub, but not so floppy that you can t put pressure on the bristles to get a good scrub going. The bristles are fairly soft which I like for wine glasses, and I note that a small amount of dish soap on the brush translates into an incredible amount of suds something about the way the bristles work maximizes the lather you get from a very small amount of soap."
"The plus side of the soft bristles is that you can get it into a bottle with a pretty small opening. The bad part is the bristles aren't stiff enough to wash out residue in the bottom edges of a carafe I have. I'll keep it specifically to wash wine glasses and other delicate items, but it's not good for what I need it for."
"* It's fine, but I wish the brushes were a bit stiffer and denser. There is not enough brush to really clean the bottom of a tall water bottle. On the other hand, that makes it very safe to use for wine glasses."
"* Perfect for using with my S'well small neck water bottle. The bristles are very flexible so squeeze into the bottle mouth easily. Now I know I can keep my bottle clean and free from bacterial growth!"
"* the bristles are way too soft on this thing. there is no way they can scrub out anything caked/dried on... not sure what you'd be gently brushing that's in this shape?"

"Coming from my wife who wanted a new bottle brush, this is huge! Many of you who have read my reviews know that we have 4 special needs children in our home... This involves a lot of cooking for her while I am at work... She makes her own organic almond milk that she puts in a glass bottle to store in the fridge... It has been very challenging to get this film off the bottle and have the bottle cleaned and ready for the next batch to go in... this OXO bottle brush is stiff enough yet soft enough, and it lets you reach the bottom of the bottle no problem... We will be using this a lot and are so very pleased with the product.""* This is a nice brush that cleans bottles very well AND is made of materials that allow you to clean/sanitize the brush itself. (I sprtiz and rinse mine with diluted bleach every so often). So, you don't end up with "stinky brush" like sponge bottle brushes. The bristles are firm, but not not too stiff, so they get into corners very well. The brush is long enough for most sport and vaccuum bottles... Also good for cleaning the water reservoir of coffee machines and other appliances. The brush w/handle is about a foot long; only oversized bottles present a challenge."
