Cleaning brushes you actually need

3 min read · Sippy Paws

A fountain has small parts and narrow gaps. A normal sponge cannot reach them.

Here is the short list of brushes that make the job easy.

The kit

The Fountain Cleaning Brush Kit is a set of 3 pieces, brushes and sponges, listed as plastic and written as about. The page does not list the size of each piece.

Keep it by the sink so it is easy to reach.

What each is for

Use a brush for narrow tubes and corners. Use a sponge for the bowl and the pump housing.

Work gently, and rinse after each part.

What you can skip

You do not need harsh cleaners or special tools. Warm soapy water and a small brush are plenty.

Our cleaning guide shows the steps.

Caring for the brushes

Rinse with warm water and air dry, as listed on the product page. Keep them in a cup by the sink.

Dry them fully before you put them away.

How to use them in order

Start with a brush for the tubes and long gaps. Move to a sponge for the corners of the bowl and the lid.

Finish by rinsing every part in warm water and leaving them to dry. Keep a filter pack handy so you can put in a fresh one at the same time. Browse the bowls and mats for more small helpers.
