Try to put fire so you sponge can be melted and then maybe will come out.

I was thinking how take out, and maybe you can try to put in to very hot oil, this way pipe not going to be very dirty.

did miranda ever get a shot at this?

 

[Nathaniel Whiteside]

I would go to a petrol station and use pressurized air for tires... If you bring something (let's say a plastic tube) and adjust it to the inlet pipe much better, this way you will let the pressurized air go directly to the blocked part of the pipe. Sorry my English is not good enough to make difficult explanations.
Just an idea... I really don't know if it will work, but at least this is how it is done when you have a plastic tube blocked with an object.

Sorry guys, I have it one last shot before I sent it off. I tried to burn the fibres, it didn't work. I ended up dropping it. So, it never got as far.

Thick copper wire would easily have gone through the intake hole and you could have pushed it straight out.

 

[parotet]

What a pity! At least the next one having this problem will find here a good collection of options...

Gutted if anyone feels the need to repeat this event please PLEASE send it to me as my life is incomplete without this challenge 😛

Just a thought.. What about prevention? How about tying some strong fishing line to the brush end just in case the handle snaps
