Retired my favorite brush after a bad morning in Madison
I had a brush I used for 8 years straight. It was a 9 inch round wire brush with most of the bristles bent sideways. I thought it was broken in and worked fine. Turns out I was just scraping soot in circles without actually cleaning anything. A guy on a job in Madison last Thursday pointed out my brush was leaving stripes on the flue. I felt stupid but he showed me how his new brush grabbed the walls. I bought a new 8 inch poly brush that same day and the difference was immediate, like night and day. Anyone else hang onto a worn out tool too long just because it felt familiar?

Maybe it's just me but a worn brush can actually make your flue worse over time.
