Pad brush or tootbrush to clean pads

getting another order together and was thinking of the Pad conditoning brush. does this really help or will a regular (unused) tootbrush do?

I've tried a toothbrush but it was too soft to be effective. I guess you could try an extra stiff bristle and try it out... if not you'll just bend the bristles and it won't clear up any product build up.

Get a fingernail cleaning brush at the drug store....works perfect....not to stiff and not to soft....it even wraps around your fingers to brush the pad......

Some auto places have a 3 set detailing type brush set.....steel, brass and nylon. The nylon brush works well for me.

Got a regular long handled kitchen pot & pan brush at the dollar store which works well. Just don't press too hard or rub else you risk damaging the pad, but that applies to anything with stiff nylon bristles. And other things.
