Gray Flagged Counter Duster

Gray Flagged Counter Duster Brush

• Bristles:
  • Flagged: The bristles are "flagged," meaning their ends are split or frayed. This increases the surface area of each bristle, making them particularly effective at capturing and holding onto fine particles like dust, flour, and sawdust. They are also described as "self-flagging" in some cases.
  • Material: The bristles are typically made of synthetic materials like polypropylene or polystyrene. These materials are durable and repel water. Some sources mention Tampico fiber, which is a natural fiber from a cactus plant.
  • Softness: Despite being stiff enough to push debris, the flagged design results in a softer feel compared to unflagged bristles, making them suitable for delicate surfaces like polished counters.
  • Staple-set: Bristles are often securely stapled into the brush block for durability and to prevent shedding.
• Handle/Block:
  • Material: The handle or block is typically made of wood (lacquered hardwood) or plastic (foam plastic or structural foam polypropylene).
  • Ergonomics: Many feature an ergonomic or comfortable handle design for ease of use. Some handles have a lanyard hole for convenient storage.
  • Durability: The handles are typically designed to be durable and resist splintering or breaking.
• Applications:
  • Dusting: Ideal for dusting counters, shelves, conveyors, and other smooth surfaces.
  • Fine Debris: Excellent for sweeping up fine particles like dust, sawdust, and shavings.
  • Dry Areas: Most effective in dry environments as flagged bristles can become matted and less effective when wet.
  • Specific Examples: Used in cafes, showrooms, homes, and for cleaning furniture, cars, and even keyboards.
