"I bought a "wire" toothbrush to get the hair and debris out of velcro. It works good, however I wish it was bigger. The head is about 2 inches long and the width is only about 3/4 inch, but still gets the job done."

"I have looked for this type of product for some time and was glad to find it at Smart Pak. I have used it and it does the job. the problem I have found, however, is that the bristles fall out quite a lot. Because they are wire, it is tricky to pick them up safely."

"This is a great little brush for getting all the bits off the velcro on blankets. I love the idea as I need it all the time, I do wish the bristles were a bit stronger and less bendable, but overall its a handy little tool every barn should have."

"I bought this product as I have lots of polos & boots that needed to have the velcro cleaned. Fresh from the wash I tried to clean my first polo velcro - I ended up with half the bristles pulled out of the brush & stuck in the velcro (which I then had to remove by hand). It removed NOTHING from the velcro & only added to my cleaning problems. Poorly made & not sturdy at all - did not make it past 1/2 of the velcro on one polo before throwing in the trash!"

"Don't bother - save your money- the bristles are just not strong enough to remove horsehair or deeply imbedded bits of hay from velcro. Basically like a toothbrush with shiny bristles, and has the same effect. I think you'd do better to pick things out of the velcro with a safty pin."

"I purchased this brush to clean the velcro on my horse blankets. It does a pretty good job, but I've been disappointed by how many of the bristles have fallen out of the brush. I'm not pushing extra hard or agressively and quite a few have fallen out. Still plenty left to get the job done, but I would have bought a couple extras if I would have known. Still a good value for the price."

"Sounds like a great product, and it does clear out the junk on velcro. But the brush is poorly made, and the brass (?) bristles fall out. I found strands of bristles on the pieces I was cleaning, on the towel I had under the items, on ME, and I could not be sure that I found them all. It probably needs stiffer bristles that will not fall out. I've found car detailing brushes that work better."

"This is a useful product- it takes some patience but it works well for me. My mare wears the same pair of support boots all the time for tendon support after an injury and they get hairy when I wash them with my saddle pads and such. This helps with the hair problem, but you have to go kind of slow and carefully to get results without killing the brush.
Useful, but if its hair problems, a vacuum before washing makes a bigger dent."

"This tool works great on polo wraps, tendon boots, anything that has velcro. It is very annoying when the velcro no longer sticks because of fibers that get stuck in the velcro, and picking it out with your fingers no longer works. My problem is that I had to purchase several of these because it gets borrowed and not returned."

"I was not sure about this one. I've used wire brushes (slicker brushes for dogs or cats) for my velcro needs, as are found on SMB boots, DSB schooling boots, and so on. And I use a stiff brush on blankets and turnouts.
I wasn't sure this would be worth it, but it actually is. It gets into those smaller nooks and crannies, and using it, I expect that my velcro/touch tape items to last longer and look cleaner. The pricing would be more appealing at around $3---it IS a SMALL item, about toothbrush size."

"I just bought this brush. I used it on a fly mask and it barely removed any hair, hay or lint. I then tried it on a set of shipping wraps. Again, it removed very little debris. By the third strip of velcro on the boots, the bristles on the brush started to break up and embed in the velcro. So not only didn't it remove the dirt, it actually added to the problem by inserting a bunch of little brass shards. This is a piece of junk."
