Assure that you really are sanitary with this method. The broken glass fibers can enter skin wherever they lie. Don't Ask!! Yes, a serious pain in the butt!
They can be used and, perhaps, should be a wash basin running water tool only. The tiny broken off bits of glass are a problem any where they light.
I spent most of my life's work as an industrial prototype maker and had my bad days with many tools. But, the glass fiber brushes took a long time to use in the most safe manner.
