Carpet brush

The carpet brush is for scrubbing rugs, carpets and doormats: ingrained dust, pet hair, dried earth or mud brought in on shoes. Use it dry, before the vacuum cleaner or instead of it on small areas.

The body is oiled beech, with a short handle that sits well in the hand. The bristles are coconut fibre, a stiff plant fibre that gets the dirt out of the bottom of the pile without damaging wool or synthetic fibres.

Brush with the pile, in short strokes, and finish against the pile on dried mud. After use, tap the brush against the rim of the bin to empty it and store it dry: coconut fibre does not like soaking, and neither does oiled wood.
