These Detail Cleaning Brushes Are Great for Small Spaces

Amazon

I have this pair of detail cleaning brushes from OXO and they work amazingly well for cleaning crevices and tight spaces around faucets, drains, stovetops, and more.

Key improvements over toothbrushes - angled handles that get your hands up and out of the way; the handles are bigger and grippier than a toothbrush; the larger brush has pretty stiff bristles which are great for heavy scrubbing without scratching; the smaller brush has tapered softer bristles on one end (good for cleaning in tight areas), and the rubber nub on the other end of the smaller brush is surprisingly good for cleaning in tight areas."
