“Coupled with a good interior cleaner, this product worked wonders! However, it is a bit abrasive so do not use it where you don’t want to risk scratches. I used it on my seats, and it ruffled the fabric but it was worth the risk of removing the decades old stains. It also removed some paint stains on my plastic lining and a mysterious sticky substance in my cup holder. This brush worked great. My only complaint was how difficult it is to hold on to. It grabs into whatever fabric or material you’re cleaning, and the brush slips out of your hands very often. It also does not do well with angles, but I bought the Mother’s Detail Brush for those places.”

A Word of Caution
While many users have found success with this brush, it’s important to note that its stiffness can be a double-edged sword. Some users have reported issues with the brush being too harsh for certain surfaces:
“Way to stiff for leather. I used this brush on my custom leather chair and ruined the seat cushion. This is the type of brush u would use on something like tires. Here is before and after pic’s.”

Creative Uses
Some users have found innovative ways to use this brush beyond its intended purpose:
“Spent ages studying carpet rakes as my deep pile wool rug was looking a bit flat and stringy instead of deep and fluffy, all reviews were about rakes cleaning pet hairs out of carpets, not one for just reviving the nap on a deep rug, so I took a chance on this brush as it wasn’t expensive and it did the job perfectly! I used it in conjunction with Vanish carpet care and upholstery foam spray as I read that the brush shouldn’t be used on dry carpets, I’m not sure why, I’m guessing that the moisture softens the fibres allowing them to fluff up more, anyway I Hoover the rug first then spray a small area liberally with the foam cleaner, then brush vigorously In different directions until I’ve got the desired effect, it doesn’t take long to dry and then you give it another good hoover.”

A Cleaning Scenario
Imagine you’ve just hosted a big family gathering. The living room carpet, which sees the most foot traffic, is now looking worn and flattened. There are a few mysterious stains from spilled drinks and food. This is where the Mothers Stiff Bristle Brush comes in handy. Start by vacuuming the carpet thoroughly. Then, apply a carpet cleaning solution to the stained areas. Use the brush to work the cleaner deep into the fibers, moving in different directions to lift the dirt and revive the carpet’s texture. The stiff bristles will help to agitate the stains and lift them from the carpet. After cleaning, use the brush again on the dry carpet to fluff up the fibers, restoring that new carpet look. Remember to test on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the brush doesn’t damage your specific carpet type.
Conclusion
The Mothers Stiff Bristle Carpet and Upholstery Cleaning Scrub Brush is a powerful tool for deep cleaning, but it requires careful use. It excels at removing tough stains and reviving carpets but may be too harsh for delicate surfaces. Always test on a small area first and use with caution on leather or fine fabrics. For those dealing with stubborn stains or flattened carpets, this brush could be a game-changer in your cleaning arsenal.
