Found out I've been using the wrong brush for masonry flues for 8 months

A homeowner in Boise asked if the plastic bristles on my brush were melting, and I realized that's why my poly brush kept looking so chewed up. Anyone else make a simple tool mistake that took way too long to notice?

Used a wire brush on my composite deck for a full season. Scratched the heck out of it. Felt like a total idiot when I finally read the cleaner bottle.

Oh man, that's rough... but honestly, those cleaner bottles might as well be written in tiny invisible ink. I never read them either until something goes wrong. It's like they expect you to be a mind reader. You just grab a brush that looks tough enough for the job. Now you've got that permanent textured look, I guess. A real bummer.

Scratched the heck out of it" is a feeling I know too well. I once power washed the paint right off my siding before checking the setting. We live and we learn, usually the hard way.
