In our home the brush lasts for 2 - 3 years. Sometimes certain materials, melted cheese, bread dough, etc., get stuck in the bristles. If that is the case, when your brush needs cleaning, dip the bristles into a pot of boiling water and hold it there for a couple of minutes, it should clear out. ADDED BONUS! The horsehair holds soap really well, so now I use one-third of the soap I did with plastic brushes, plus I don’t get sprayed with soapy water by those hard, plastic bristles any longer.
