If you buy a .99 cents brush you will get a .99 cents cleaning job from the brush. This brush has extra firm bristles to work deep into carpets and upholstery. When cleaning carpets more often than not a good scrub brush will stir up more dirt, soil, and pebbles than vacuuming. After you have loosened up the debris with a scrub brush you can easily vacuum them up. This brush has an easy grip and a more aerodynamic head that gets into corners better than others. The fine yet firm bristles give you a unique ability to clean but not risk pulling at the carpet fibers like old frayed bristles are prone to do.
