C.R. LAURENCE 17050 CRL Grime Scrub Brush

If your a hands on mechanic and don’t have this hand brush I feel sorry for you……..

If you have calloused hands and they aren’t sensitive then look no further this is the best hand scrub brush there is. The bristles are very stiff that’s why I don’t recommend this for sensitive hands. I am a mechanic and the other brushes just can’t get the grime out like this brush does. I purchased this brand a long time ago from a tool dealer and tried to find a replacement for 8yrs and nothing worked as good as this one. When I saw Amazon carried it I bought several extras because it works so good.

After trying three other manufacturers products of this type, I finally found this one. If you’re looking for a scrubber that includes the “under the nail” side which is effective and very stiff bristles, this is it. Others I have tried had either the problem of the bristles being too close to the body of the tool or the actual bristles we’re easily smashed deformed and frayed. This brush is great for that. It’s full scrubbing side has nice firm bristles and they are an inch or longer, allowing for a good scrub between the toes and all around. The reverse side has shorter(but longer than most) very firm sturdy bristles for getting all the way under the nails. They are so firm that you could actually cause a little discomfort if you were to bear down too hard. I’m in construction and I’m prone to athletes foot since my feet are wet from sweating most of the day, I’ve found that paying close attention to how well I clean my feet, keeps this problem at bay. I would recommend anyone to try this brush if you’ve got similar issues.

It was much smaller then I thought

Cleans pretty good but could use a couple more rows of short bristles for cleaning fingernails. A couple more rows would make it a lot more efficient cleaning dirty fingernails.

I live a kind of rustic lifestyle and my hands show it...and my fingernails show it! I got a nail brush a while back to try and get the dirt out from under my finger nails only to find that the bristles were so stiff I thought it might shred my skin! And it was poorly designed as well since the bristles were really packed too close together to allow you to really get under your fingernails if somehow you could stand the pain of trying to use the thing. So that one gets used to spot clean the carpet and now I have a nail brush I can actually use for my nails! Not only are the bristles softer, they have some spacing between the rows that allow for you to get under the nail and then on the back of the brush there is an additional single row of bristles to allow you to get more specific detailing done under your nails as well. I'm hopeful now that I can regularly use a nail brush and get my nails and cuticles looking better!

The short bristles for under nails are firm yet they are already laying over and are frazzled after only a few uses. I got this brush mainly to do under nails and as people know you can't put a lot of pressure on the bristles under your nails so them being stiff is great. But the fact that they don't hold there shape is awful. Hate to see how they look after a few weeks of cleaning under nails.

I have been searching for this exact product my whole life. I’m a grease monkey and had just accepted having black dirt under my nails. These bristles are more rigid than any other nail brush. The ones on top are stiffer and shorter, so they don’t deform and they actually reach under my nails. They actually hurt a bit at first but that’s because I’ve never been able to properly clean my nails before. Godsend. I’d kiss the people who created this thing.
