I bought a boot scraper like this in 2021:

<https://dubl-lif.co.uk/ultimate-boot-jack-scraper-brushes-long-handle-coloured/>

It has worked very well. However, it has been kept outside, and
the brushes have now disintegrated. The wood appears to have
rotted.

Sadly this is not covered by their 5 Year Guarantee, which is a
bit of a shame for a product which would generally be expected to
have an outdoor life.

The supplier helpfully advised me that I can fix almost any brush
to the boot cleaner, where the stock ideally is 300 mm x 70 mm,
and will take screws.

What would be the best value replacement brush heads?

Do I go cheap and disposable, or expensive but durable?

You can buy a lot of broom heads from your favourite shed for the price
of one of those boot scrapers. A couple will replace the worn brushes
quite well.
