Joseph Joseph’s Clever Sink Brush Leaves Glasses Sparkling and Helps Prevent Breakages – ‘Glasses Sparkle After Use’
This clever $15.99 sink-side tool makes cleaning glasses easier while helping keep them sparkling, spotless, and safer from breakages
Fall is the time for relaxed candlelit meals around the dinner table with friends and family, but dirty glassware can quickly spoil the mood. This can usually be avoided with a dishwasher, but what if, like me, you don't have one? I've always just relied on a dish brush − until I spotted the Joseph Joseph Brush-Up Glass Brush on Amazon.
Cleverly suctioning onto the bottom of the sink, it makes cleaning wine glasses properly, without scratches, smudges, or breaking, easier than ever.
At just $15.99, it's an affordable little addition to your kitchen that can help keep your glassware sparkling and your tablescapes looking their best throughout the hosting season – without the worry of cloudy glasses ruining the mood.
Growing up without a dishwasher may have made me something of an expert at washing dishes, but removing the cloudiness from drinking glasses is another story. I know the usual tricks: fresh, hot water, plenty of dish soap, and a careful polish with a kitchen towel, available at Walmart, to banish water spots – a habit I picked up while working in a restaurant.
The real problem is using the same brush on delicate glassware that I use for scrubbing pots, pans, and plates. Even when I'm careful, it feels like an unnecessary risk when I'm trying to keep wine glasses looking their best. That's why I'm picking up the Joseph Joseph Brush-Up Glass Brush, available on Amazon ahead of hosting season. I love putting together seasonal menus and welcoming friends and family, but I don't want lackluster glassware stealing attention from the table.
The brush has a curved design and durable bristles that make it easy to clean the inside and outside of glasses, while a strong suction base keeps it firmly anchored to the bottom of the sink. An easy-release tab makes it simple to lift away when you're finished, and it's suitable for glassware and crockery up to 5.5 inches tall.
That secure suction also helps prevent the brush from shifting or slipping as you scrub, giving you much more control and making those heart-stopping moments with delicate glassware far less likely.

When you've finished washing your glassware, simply pop the brush off the bottom of your sink and store it away until next time in a cabinet close by.
'Another quality Joseph Joseph product,' says one shopper in a five-star review. 'I have multiple Joseph Joseph products, and this one doesn't disappoint. I like their innovative designs and build quality. 'I usually use this as a handheld brush rather than stand it up with the suction cup in the sink. Either way works great. [I store it] standing up on the suction cup.'
Another reviewer, Paula, agrees: 'This is a wonderful product. It is easy to use, and glasses sparkle after use.'
To get the best results, I'd also pair it with a dedicated glassware dish soap. The enzyme-based Method Super Shine Liquid Dish Soap, available at Walmart, is designed to cut through grease while leaving glassware with a sparkling finish.
With my new brush on the way, I'm already looking to expand my glassware collection to complement all my fall table decor ideas. Just make sure you know how to store glassware properly, because a chipped glass can be just as disappointing – if not more so – than a cloudy one.
