The brush head 1 has an elongated brush stem 2 with a plurality of bristle tufts 3 circumferentially attached radiating outwardly therefrom. A plurality of slots 7 are provided in an end of the sleeve 6 through which the bristle tufts 3 are forced to protrude. The brush head 1 and shaft 4 to which the latter is attached are held within the sleeve 6.
