Kmart Long Handled Scrubbing Brush review
Kmart’s Anko long handheld scrubber could very well revolutionise your cleaning. It’s both dustproof and waterproof and specifically designed for tackling hard-to-reach places including:
- Railings
- Door tracks
- Windows
- Corners
- Shower floors
- Car wheels
- Pavements
- Balconies
- Burnt gas tops.
It can be used to clean stubborn dirt and stains on hard floors and carpets and to get rid of mould on outdoor walls as well.
Kmart’s handled scrubbing brush features a rotating brush and extendable handle up to 85cm to reach ceilings and high furniture. It comes with three interchangeable brushes suitable for various cleaning tasks and stain levels, including a flat brush, a cambered brush, and a corner brush. This Anko cordless scrubber also features an on/off button to control the spin cleaning function, a built-in rechargeable lithium-iron battery with a runtime of 60 minutes, a USB charging cable with a charge time of 2.5 hours, and a magnetic connection for easy operation.
Our verdict: “This gadget is perfect for cleaning hard-to-reach spots and nooks and crannies without hurting your back and with very little effort,” says Canstar Blue’s Home & Lifestyle Editor Megan Birot.
“It’s also super easy to use with basic features, various brush attachments, an extension bar, and no gimmicks involved.”
