CHOOSING AND USING THE BRUSHES


1. POLYPROPYLENE BRUSH (PPL) It is used on every type of ground and has good resistance to wear. The Polypropylene brush is non-hygroscopic and therefore retains its characteristics even when working in wet conditions. Replace the central brush when the bristle height is of 15-20 mm. 2. BRISTLE THICKNESS The thicker bristles are more rigid and should therefore be used on surfaces with solid or heavy dirt (e.g. gravel, drinks cans, etc.). Softer bristles are recommended for surfaces with light dirt or dust. Keep in mind that when the brush bristles are worn out and too short, they become stiff and can no longer properly collect dirt.
