Kong Cleaning Brush

The KONG Cleaning Brush is a durable, thoughtfully designed tool created to make cleaning enrichment toys—especially the classic KONGs—simple and effective. Many dogs love stuffing toys packed with food, but once peanut butter, kibble, or wet food dries inside, scrubbing them out can be a real challenge. This brush is built to address that problem directly.

It typically has a long, sturdy handle that gives you good leverage and makes it easy to reach deep inside the toy, even in the rounded ends of the traditional KONG shape. The bristle head is dense and firm enough to break up dried-on food but not so harsh that it damages the natural rubber surface. The head itself is often slightly rounded or tapered to fit into the curves, grooves, and narrow openings that standard kitchen brushes or sponges can’t access.

Another key feature is its durability—both the handle and bristles are designed to withstand repeated scrubbing without bending or breaking down. The materials are safe for use with dog toys, meaning they won’t degrade the rubber or leave behind unsafe residue. The brush is also quick to clean after use, usually rinsing off easily under running water, and it can sometimes be dishwasher safe for added convenience.

By using the KONG Cleaning Brush regularly, pet owners can ensure their dog’s toys remain hygienic, free from leftover food, and resistant to bacteria or odor buildup. This not only extends the life of the toys but also keeps enrichment activities safe and enjoyable for the dog.
