Check in your hardware stores. If they are like the US stores, they will
have very inexpensive brushes in the painting/refinishing area. Most of ours
have a set of three brushes--one plastic fibered, one brass, and one
stainless steel--to be used when stripping paint from furniture when
refinishing it.  They are cheap enough to be discarded when full of paint
scum and chemicals, but are also intended to not deposit iron contaminates
in the wood where it could discolor/damage things.

I'm only guessing here, but maybe some steel is ground off the brush wires
by the grit
embedded in the lap thus contaminating the lap.
