This works well enough as a scrubby brush for dishes, but it's certainly not heavy-duty. I use it on plates with caked-on goo (like egg yolk), and it works fine. It's also fantastic for cast-iron pans, cutting through baked, stuck-on yuck without the use of soaps and cleaners that could mess up my pans. As a brush, it works fine. As a bubble wand, it's useless. But did you REALLY expect to be able to blow bubbles with it? Bubble solution contains glycerin (or occasionally corn syrup). Unless you are augmenting your dish water, this brush is a cutesy-shaped novelty that makes a craptastic task a tad less boring.
