Finding The Best Scrub Brushes for Tubs & Showers: Our Tests

Let’s talk scrub brushes!

Cleaning a tub or tall shower can be a pain with typical tools like sponges and hand brushes. If you have to reach a long distance into a deep tub, a brush with long handle can make the job much easier.

To test brushes, we tried out several different brands and tried cleaning both tubs and shower enclosures. Along the way, we found some of the best brushes had these features:

• Locking head position. The best brushes enabled you to lock the head in multiple positions—this enables you to get the right angle for most cleaning jobs.

• Extra long handles. Most brushes with long handles only extend to 42″ to 46″ inches. However, we found a few models that go up to 51″. That is great if you need to clean a tile shower that goes to the ceiling.

• Padded handles made long cleaning jobs easier, in our opinion.

Here are the brushes we ended up picking as the best of the bunch.

How We Pick Products To Recommend

We often turn to our readers (3 million strong!) to find products to recommend. We ask our parent readers for their favorites and consider their real-world experiences in our recommendations.

When we test a product, we always purchase it with our own monies. We do not take free samples, as we believe that compromises our independence.

We also fact check manufacturer information with our own measurements. If a maker claims a product weighs X pounds, we will weigh it to make sure. If the battery life is supposed to be six hours, we will see how it stands up in the real world.

In some cases, we will do interviews with experts in the field to get additional feedback on products.

To get hands-on time with products, we regularly meet one-on-one with gear companies and even tour manufacturing facilities. (When we do this, we pay our own travel expenses). Best Scrub Brush With Long Handle

Why Trust Us

We’ve been rating and reviewing products for the home and families since 1994. We do extensive research, evaluating products with an eye toward quality, ease of use and affordability.

We make our living from affiliate commissions, but we always recommend what we think are the best bets for our readers (not the ones that are the most expensive). We are always looking for products that offer the best bang for the buck.

Our independence is a key reason why we have been doing this so long. As we mentioned above, when we purchase a product for hands-on testing, we do so with our own money.

Here’s another key point: we don’t take money from the brands we review. No free samples, no sponsors, no “partnerships.” Our work is 100% reader-supported!
