Long handle feeder cleaning brush

4.0 out of 5

I've had one of these brushes less than a year, ideal for cleaning the biggest of seed feeders. I've maybe used it around six times in that time. Each time I have noticed the odd bristle coming free in use but today so many came out that the whole lot eventually ended up falling out onto the gravel. Nightmare to collect them all... It would seem they are not fixed into the metal pole by anything. Once enough have come adrift there is nothing to support those remaining. I'll go back to the dish cleaning brush I think.

RSPB response: Thank you for your review, sorry to hear that you received a faulty brush it should not come apart as you have described. We will look into this with our supplier but in the meantime please contact customer services who will be able to help.

Great cleaning brush with the right length needed. The only thing i have noticed this is a very soft brush of course and trying to clean old feeders which do not come part (none easy cleaning ones) can be hard to clean stubborn seed right at the bottom of it.. Otherwise a great & handy brush to have

Cheap brush with a good length to reach easy down a feeder to clean. Only problem for myself i think the bristles are a little to soft and does not take away anything heavy on the outside of the feeders (bird dirt) Others wise is OK

I have feeders of the old non-Easy-Clean type that don't come apart, and the feeder cleaning brush has been great in enabling me to give them a proper clean. The brush is long enough to reach the bottom of the feeders and also cleans out the inside of the tube so that it is clear again all the way down (hard to do with a washing-up brush or sponge). It's good to have a dedicated brush for cleaning the feeders as well.

The only thing I can't clean with the brush is any food that has become wedged between the metal bottom of the feeder and the plastic, but that would be asking a lot of a brush!
