I have been using these colorful dish brushes, made in Germany, for several years. I usually stock up when visiting family, but a trip from SC is not feasible as of late. Customer service emailed a reply within 30 minutes providing options on how I could place an order. They were quickly shipped as well. These brushes are fun to use, hold up well for a good length of time, and do not have the typical foam grip handle that feels yucky to me; the handles are smooth and easy to hold.
