Mold in OXO Tot Bottle Brush
I opened up my OXO Tot bottle brush and found a putrid hellscape of mold inside the nipple cleaner. It was completely hidden and I had no idea until I took it apart. Just a warning to anyone who uses this brush – make sure you take the nipple cleaner apart and let it dry completely.

OXO Tot Recommended in Brush Discussion
The OXO Tot brush is my favorite. The long handle reaches the bottom of taller bottles, and the stand keeps things tidy. The bristles are stiff enough to clean but don't splash water everywhere. I also like that the nipple cleaner is stored in the handle.

OXO Brush Recommended for Multiples
For bottle brushes, I really like the OXO Tot one. The stand is convenient, and the brush itself holds up well. I used the Boon cactus before and didn't like it at all. The OXO is much easier to use and clean.
