Has anyone tried to use this brush to clean the Tervis accordion style straws? Does it fit? Are the bristles too soft or too stiff?

Have never tried to use this brush for a straw. But I think it would be to large. It will not fit in a Wendy's shake straw.

For some reason when I received mine the handle part broke off, but it does fit inside the straws I just have to work on getting it out. Bristles are kind of medium not really too hard and not too soft. - Hope this helps.

Yes, the very same only a longer straw. I have a long very thin brush that I clean out the straws with.

The brush has stiff bristle. It worked well for what I needed. Hope this helps.

Agree with B. Berry. I have just bought standard straws and they have all fit without a problem. Love this product

I bought a set of 4, 12" x 3/8" Nylon Straw Brushes by ProTool through Amazon that are perfect for cleaning the straw that comes with this tumbler. The brushes are long enough to reach the entire length of the straw and they are full enough to clean without the need to wiggle it around to reach the entire interior. I love these brushes! They are great for any reusable straw.

Yes. The first two or three uses were not as comfortable as later uses. I am very pleased with the brush.

I only gave this brush a 3 star. I was expecting it be as good as my old one which was very similar. To answer your question, it doesn't clean very well. I used a damp paper towel to rub the lint, fuzz and kitty hair away, rubbing the opposite way. I haven't tried to clean it any other way. Sorry I couldn't really help you.

My husband uses these. They have 2 rows of bristles directly opposite each other. The shaft is very thin and I think it could get in. But, if you have sensitive gums, it might be too much for you. My hygienist suggested the GUM soft-picks. They do have them on Amazon. Hope this helps

Sure. The drink straws that I use it for are the hard plastic ones. Plus the bristles are flexible to fit in even a bit smaller straw.

I'd say that the brushes are soft. The brush stiffness does not seem to impact the cleaning for me. It is all about the ionic charge.

As mine is still fairly new, the bristles are still stiff and I could not get them to compact enough to push it into that size of an opening - and I don't think the wider part of the handle would go through so you would never reach the bottom. There are plenty of other bottle brushes that would work better for that size opening... it's just the depth that might be a problem.

I have these brushes, and the handle length varies with the brush but the entire brush/handle lengths are between 6 and 9 inches, I would estimate. You couldn't really clean something with a 90 degree bend in it, the handles are too stiff for that. Technically you could force it in, but it's not flexible enough to keep using this way without damage to the brush.

Ditto .. to all the responses. The wire brush is for cleaning the metal straws. It's super handy !

It works well. In fact so far it has fit all of my water bottle straws. The brush is perfect for cleaning straws, firm enough but not too hard. I highly recommend!

It might work on just the top inch but not the entire straw as its pretty thin. I can use the dr. brown straw cleaner on the top but not the rest.

they are not hard in a sense like wood my straws were what i would call firm you could pinch them so that they would colapse but why would you want to. my straws were like a crinkle cut french fry. they had a bendy part on the top. the straws that amazon sells are plain straight straws. i have never seen them but read the review on the they are about 9 inches long to me they would be too short for tervi's 24oz tumbler go to tervis and order your straws. these crinkle straws are excellent. if you type in "tervis coupon" it will give you a code to get free shipping i did this and got free shipping the straws on tervis were only $4.oo. i hope this helps. they are not hard in a sense like wood my straws were what i would call firm you could pinch them so that they would colapse but why would you want to. my straws were like a crinkle cut french fry. they had a bendy part on the top. the straws that amazon sells are plain straight straws. i have never seen them but read the review on the they are about 9 inches long to me they would be too short for tervi's 24oz tumbler go to tervis and order your straws. these crinkle straws are excellent. if you type in "tervis coupon" it will give you a code to get free shipping i did this and... » Read More they are not hard in a sense like wood my straws were what i would call firm you could pinch them so that they would colapse but why would you want to. my straws were like a crinkle cut french fry. they had a bendy part on the top. the straws that amazon sells are plain straight straws. i have never seen them but read the review on the they are about 9 inches long to me they would be too short for tervi's 24oz tumbler go to tervis and order your straws. these crinkle straws are excellent. if you type in "tervis coupon" it will give you a code to get free shipping i did this and got free shipping the straws on tervis were only $4.oo. i hope this helps. « Show Less

The clean bottle express is very good. I collect vases, so the soft pieces on the brush work well. Also, the cleaning material on the brush are soft, and fall down after it gets wet. I bought several brushes, this brush is one of my favorite. Gentle, works well.
