Carboy Cleaner. Todays DIY Project

[vinny]

I personally HATE carboy brushes, but I still like a little scrubbing over just soaking some of my dirtier carboys. I saw one of these and thought Brilliant. I have never seen one to purchase and Amazon was 95 bucks.

Free, and literally 20 minutes to make. I cut the cloth into strips and threaded an inch and a half of 5/16 rod I had kicking around. Some nuts, washers, and a couple lock washers to secure everything. A thread protector and all done.

This would cost $10 even if you had no materials or tools to cut the threads. A piece of threaded rod with clear tubing (pretty sure you already have some) to protect the carboy from the threads would do just as easily.

Used a fiberglass marker stick from dollar store. Hacksawed about 5 inches up the shaft and stuffed a micro fibre rag for car polishing in the slit and works great and the rag pulls out for washing.

Used short piece of 1/2 inch PEX water tubing, with a dowel pushed into it for the drive end, and a small stainless bolt, with washers, on the cleaning end to hold microfiber cloth. works great, a little flex in it, easy on the carboy. Lots of ways to solve this one.
