Cleaning Industry Brushes

Your one-stop shop for sterilizing and cleaning industries!

Gordon Brush® offers numerous brush options for cleaning, disinfecting, and sterilizing. Our unique cleaning brush options are designed to properly sterilize, disinfect, and wash various components.

The Difference Between Sterilization & Disinfection

When considering methods for sterilization procedures, it is always important to point out the differences between sterilization and disinfection. Sterilization kills all viable microorganisms, while disinfection only reduces the number of viable microorganisms. Commonly used disinfectants include alcohol, iodophors, or quaternary ammonium.

Specialized Brushes for Effective Cleaning

We offer a wide selection of cleaning industry brushes designed for sterilizing and disinfecting various materials. Each brush is tailored for specific applications, ensuring optimal cleanliness based on the item being treated and its condition.

Our metal-free brushes are ideal for thoroughly cleaning, sterilizing, and disinfecting surfaces. They are also excellent for cleaning the interior of both straight and curved pipes and tubes. These brushes can be used for cleaning valves, fittings, and other applications that require intense scrubbing without causing surface damage.

For delicate surfaces, an acid or applicator brush is often recommended, while block brushes with coarser bristles are better suited for more robust materials that require vigorous cleaning.

Toothbrush-style and twisted wire brushes are perfect for smaller parts and hard-to-reach areas, such as narrow tubes. Our hygienic brushes are another great option, designed for areas that need thorough cleaning and sterilization.

How to Disinfect Cleaning Brushes

To ensure your cleaning brushes are properly disinfected and ready for use, consider these effective methods:

Wash with Mild Detergent: Start by thoroughly washing your brushes with a mild detergent to remove dirt and debris. This step is often sufficient for general cleaning.
Rinse Thoroughly: After washing, rinse the brushes with tap water to remove any remaining soap or particles. For an added level of cleanliness, follow up with a rinse using distilled water.
Avoid Harsh Chemicals: Be cautious with the cleaning agents you use. Avoid abrasive cleaners or strong alkaline solutions that could damage the bristles or handle of the brush, especially for brushes used on delicate surfaces.
Use Hot Water for Disinfection: For additional disinfection, soak the brushes in hot water (at least 160°F/70°C) for a few minutes. This can help eliminate bacteria and other pathogens without the need for harsh chemicals.
Air Dry Completely: After cleaning and disinfecting, allow the brushes to air dry completely. Ensure they are stored in a clean, dry place to prevent contamination before their next use.

By following these steps, your cleaning brushes will remain in optimal condition, ensuring they are ready to effectively clean and disinfect the next time they are needed.
