Manual brushes are available in unlimited variety. They come on a base of either beech wood or plastic. All types of bristles can be found on brushes or brooms. The main use of brushes is for cleaning – any material or product that has become contaminated. In addition, brushes may be used to remove paint and rust, remove concrete shavings from masonry, clean engine parts, and remove moisture from batteries.
Most industrial brooms are made from synthetic fibers for the cleaning of floors, walls and large surfaces.
