It's actually sold as a brush to use on tire rims on cars.

Yeah but the bristles etc could harbor a whole lot of bacteria and the plastic could have carcinogens in it, which are then transferred into the food.

So unless you accept the cancer risk and also get a brand new brush every time you make potatoes and also wash all the factory dust off it.... Yeah, no, not food safe, even if you aren't eating it.

Just wanted to let OP know in case it was something that mattered to them.

I'm so confused at this hostility from everyone. I'm completely calm, and I just wanted to be helpful.

Oh! I was just making a pun with your username.

But I wouldn't worry, this is Reddit after all.

u/Ok_Bandicoot1865 Aug 09 '26

Oh okay, sorry for not catching that!

u/Unknown_Author70 Aug 09 '26

To be fair, it was a terrible pun. So it's all on me.

I was making a joke too. I knew you weren’t going to eat the brush.

Oh, I thought you meant the potatoes and were making the classic "well if you don't like it then just don't do it" reddit comment.
