flaskebørste

A flaskebørste, which translates from Danish to English as "bottle brush," is a long, flexible brush specifically designed for cleaning the inside of narrow-necked containers such as bottles, vases, and carafes. Its construction typically features a handle made of plastic or wire, and bristles that are often made of nylon, plastic, or sometimes natural fibers. The flexibility of the brush allows it to bend and reach into curved or irregular interior surfaces, effectively removing residue and stains.

The primary function of a flaskebørste is to ensure thorough cleaning of bottles that are difficult to access by hand or with a standard sponge. This is particularly important for items that hold liquids, as residue can harbor bacteria or affect the taste of future contents. They are commonly used in households for cleaning beverage bottles, baby bottles, and kitchenware. In commercial settings, such as bars or restaurants, they are essential for maintaining the cleanliness of glassware.

Flaskebørster come in various sizes and shapes to accommodate different types of containers. Some may have a straight handle, while others have an angled or flexible one. The type of bristles can also vary, with softer bristles suitable for delicate glassware and stiffer bristles for tackling stubborn grime. Regular cleaning of the bottle brush itself is recommended to prevent the spread of germs.
