Brushes - For Brushing Pressed Cheese's Natural Rinds?

[Cheese Head]

Member Daznz and I both have the same question in this thread, what are good attributes and what are some good examples for brushes for brushing pressed cheese's natural rinds?

Plastic or brass wire, stiff like a grill brush or softer like a toothbrush?

[DeejayDebi]

I use plastic for cleaning it a very soft brittle brush I got from Glengarry. Works better than paint type brittles and doesn't rent the skin.

[linuxboy]

Ditto on that. I think my brushes have nylon bristles that are rather stiff

[Cheese Head]

Thanks you two, are they paint brush style or kitchin scrub brush like option #1 or option #2?

[Boofer]

I use an Option #1 variety. It's not too stiff and I can apply more pressure or less as the problem requires. Minimizes brush stroke impressions on my cheese face.

I use these from Glengarry a very soft brislte.

Still haven't bought any new clean brushes for my natural rind Havarti's so I used the green side of a new and thus clean Scrub-It scour pad from Dollar Store. Gotta buy some proper brushes!

Me too, a medium stiff nylon brush

Picked up a small size, "medium" stiffness brush from Wal-Mart today for USD2.25.

Easy to clean in dishwasher versus green scour pad above which I only used once as can't properly clean.
