Views
The dust collection devices under consideration are divided into 2 main groups: electrical and anti-static. These products are radically different from each other as they function in different ways. Different people prefer different types of brushes. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Antistatic
The anti-static brush is characterized by an extremely simple design. It consists of a handle (plastic or wooden), which has a ring at the end. In the products under consideration, there is a fluffy and long pile. Most often, these types of panicles are found in attractive rainbow colors, but buyers can also purchase monochrome options, for example, pink, green, blue, blue, and so on. The pile in antistatic products is predominantly made from polypropylene, since it is this material that exhibits excellent antistatic properties.
With simple anti-static models it is possible to smoothly not only brush away dust accumulations. The fact is that such products do not allow dust to scatter throughout the room during cleaning. This is why antistatic varieties are so popular with allergy sufferers.
In addition, using an anti-static brush, do not have to come into contact with dust... It is enough just to lean the base of the panicle against the surface to be cleaned and rotate the handle. After such committed actions, absolutely all pollution will be collected. We are even talking about the dust that had time to settle on small parts.
To further enhance and activate the antistatic properties of the classic soft brush, the bristles must first be rubbed against an artificial woven material. It is much easier to remove dust with pipidastrom than with a regular cloth. By means of the product under consideration, it is possible to get rid of dust deposits not only on perfectly smooth, but also on rough surfaces. It can even be a woven base.
Electrical
Colored brushes are not only standard antistatic, but also electric. Recently, such devices have been very popular, since with them the cleaning process becomes faster, easier and more hassle-free. The main difference between electrical and mechanical options is that they are equipped with a more powerful handle. The latter weighs more. Additional volume is given to the handle so that a sufficient number of batteries can fit in its inner part.
The handle of modern multifunctional electric sweepers usually contains all the necessary controls. We are talking about the power button, as well as the button for changing the speed indicators. Of course, using such a product is more interesting and more comfortable than a mechanical one. However, electrical options are much more expensive.They often come with several additional attachments and handy brushes.
