You do have to look for ones made out of wood/bamboo and plant fibers, yeah. Wasn’t too hard for me, but mileage probably varies, depending on where one lives.
Don’t understand how the same people that condemn sponges as unsanitary use a brush. Use a launderable cloth that can be regularly sterilized for crying out loud!
gunk absolutely collects, even after thorough washing, at the base of the bristles. you cant keep using the same brush forever. The only thing id say is close to good for hygeine are any full metal scrubber
You can also get small dish brushes like these:
They’re better at scrubbing stuff, and for the rest, you can use a normal washing cloth.
but the bristles on those are almost always plastic too, even more inert and probably heavier than sponge of equivalent efficiency.

Oh I need one of those

Pretty sure, I’m not the same people that condemned sponges as unsanitary…
I do think brushes are more sanitary (on average probably even more so than a launderable cloth), but hygiene isn’t my problem with sponges.

but not wire brushes which are a huge source of serious injuries when the fragments of bristles get swallowed.
You also have these with a soap reservoirs built in, you release soap by pressing a button on top of the handle. They’re amazing!
