clothes brushes

Fabric grooming tools

Clothes brushes are handheld brushes used to remove lint, dust, and debris from fabric.

The bristles are typically firm enough to lift particles but soft enough not to damage cloth.

Before lint rollers became common, a clothes brush was a standard grooming tool: He kept a clothes brush by the door for a final once-over before leaving.
