Gentle but effective
Clean deep without the risk of damage
Horsehair has been used on fine leather goods for generations because it agitates without scratching. This brush puts that into an ergonomic 18x5cm form built for the inside of a car, where tight spaces and soft surfaces demand precision.
Why it works
Purpose-built for interior cleaning
The right bristle, size and shape for leather and textile surfaces.
-
Horsehair Bristles
Soft enough for smooth and perforated leather, firm enough to lift embedded textile soil.
-
No Surface Damage
Bristle stiffness is calibrated to agitate without scratching grain or matting fabric fibres.
-
Reaches Tight Areas
The 18x5cm head slips into bolster edges, stitching channels and door-card corners.
-
Ergonomic Handle
Comfortable grip lets you maintain consistent pressure throughout a full interior detail.

Questions
Frequently asked
What surfaces can I use this brush on?
It is designed for leather and textile surfaces - think seats, door cards, headliners, carpets and boot liners. The horsehair bristles are firm enough to agitate fabric fibres but gentle enough not to scratch or scuff leather grain.
Is it safe on perforated leather?
Yes. The horsehair bristles will not catch or tear perforations when used with light to moderate pressure. Work in short strokes along the perforations rather than across them to keep the bristles from dragging material into the holes.
Which cleaning products should I pair this brush with?
Use it with any quality leather cleaner or upholstery shampoo. Apply your cleaner to the surface or directly onto the bristles, agitate with the brush, then lift the loosened soil with a clean microfibre cloth or wet-vac extraction.
Can I use it on alcantara or suede-effect trim?
Yes, with care. Use lighter pressure on alcantara and work with the nap of the material to avoid matting the fibres. A dedicated alcantara cleaner used alongside the brush will give the best result.
How do I clean the brush after use?
Rinse the bristles thoroughly under warm running water immediately after use to flush out embedded soil and product residue. Shake out excess water, reshape the bristles and allow the brush to air-dry fully before storing it.
What pressure should I use on leather?
Light to moderate pressure is all you need. The horsehair does the work - excessive force will not clean more effectively and may cause surface burnishing on softer, lighter-coloured leathers. Let the cleaner dwell for 30 to 60 seconds before agitating.
Will the bristles scratch dark or light leather colours?
Horsehair is a traditional material used specifically because it is soft enough for both light and dark leathers. As with any brush, test on an inconspicuous area first if you are working on a very light or delicate factory finish.
What size is the brush and why does it matter?
The brush measures 18cm x 5cm. That width gives good coverage on flat seat panels while the length keeps your hand clear of the surface and gives you leverage in deeply bolstered sports seats and tight door-card sections.
