Detailing & Cleaning
The Brushes That Clean Where a Vacuum Cannot
Detailing brushes and cleaning gel are odd little interior tools for vents, seams and switchgear, with limits around delicate trim.

Vacuum cleaners are bad at seams, vents, switchgear and the narrow ledges around old trim. They move air past the dirt instead of touching it. Small brushes and cleaning gel solve that by making contact.
They are odd-looking products, and the usefulness is real when the expectations stay modest.

The order that works
Brush first, vacuum second, gel last. The brush loosens dirt, the vacuum removes what is loose, and the gel picks up what remains in awkward shapes. Starting with gel just kneads dust into a product that then has to be thrown away sooner.
