Earth & Nest Upholstery & Bed Brush

Yes, the natural boar bristles are designed to be firm enough to lift debris but soft enough to use on most delicate textiles, including wool and upholstery fabrics. We recommend testing a small, inconspicuous area first if you are concerned about snagging.

It works very well for surface-level pet hair and dander. The stiff natural bristles grip hair and lift it from fabric weaves, though it is best suited for maintenance rather than deep-cleaning heavy, embedded fur.

To clean the bristles, simply run a wide-tooth comb through them to remove trapped hair and debris. If the bristles need a deeper clean, you can gently wash them with a mild soap and water, ensuring you keep the wood handle dry and allow the brush to air dry completely with the bristles facing down.

The pearwood is a natural, untreated material, so it is not waterproof. While it is durable enough for regular use, you should avoid soaking the handle in water or leaving it in humid environments to prevent the wood from warping or cracking.

Natural boar bristles have a unique texture that creates friction, allowing them to lift dust and hair more effectively than smooth synthetic fibers. They are also naturally anti-static, which helps prevent lint and hair from clinging back onto the fabric while you clean.
