Traditionally, cleaning fabric seats and carpets begins with vacuuming. For many, this is where the process often ends: vacuuming, applying an alkaline or pH-neutral cleaner, working it in, using an extraction machine, and finishing up. However, Labocosmetica has introduced new tools that make a real difference.
One of these innovations is a unique brush to use after vacuuming. While the brush itself isn’t new, its application in car care is. Originally used for cleaning Nubuck leather shoes, it was tested by a detailer specialising in interior cleaning, who worked closely with Labocosmetica. After testing hundreds of brushes, they discovered this specific brush material, which Labocosmetica then enhanced with a special bristle alloy.
The new brush comes in two versions: one for fabric seats, with softer quaternary brass bristles in the centre surrounded by white synthetic bristles; the other for carpets, with stiffer brass bristles in the centre and darker synthetic bristles around them. Both brushes are easily distinguishable by the pyrography lettering on the wooden body: "Fabric Seat" and "Floor Carpet".
To use these new brushes, begin by vacuuming the area as usual. Then, use the brush with gentle, rolling motions while simultaneously vacuuming, so the dust lifted by the brush is captured by the vacuum.
Why? Because you’ll be amazed at how much dirt and dust the brush pulls out, even after vacuuming. If you think your seats are clean after the initial vacuuming, this brush will prove otherwise. We use this method during Labocosmetica accreditation training, and every detailer so far has been stunned by how much dust remains after they’ve vacuumed the seat or carpet for several minutes.
Even with traditional methods—vacuuming, applying a cleaner, using an extraction machine, and letting it dry—this brush can still uncover hidden dust and dirt. By adding it as an extra step after vacuuming, you can remove much more dirt before starting the actual cleaning process. This makes the subsequent steps faster, more effective, and efficient.
It’s incredible to see what this simple extra step can achieve. It takes only 2–3 additional minutes, yet the results are astonishing.
Another standout feature of these brushes is their durability. Made with high-quality materials, they are designed to last a lifetime. Considering their performance and affordability, they are a must-have for professional detailers and enthusiasts alike.
By incorporating these innovative brushes into your cleaning routine, you’ll achieve results that truly elevate your work. Whether you’re a professional detailer aiming to perfect every detail or an enthusiast who takes pride in a spotless car, these brushes offer an unbeatable combination of durability, performance, and value.
Unlike a Tornador or other air gun, which can sometimes push dust deeper into the fabric, or the vacuum cleaner, which is not always able to remove it completely, Labocosmetica’s 2pH brushes completely eliminate dust with a simple move.
Used correctly, these brushes can effectively remove dust from fabrics, representing a crucial step in ensuring a quality clean afterwards, just as a clay bar prepares the surface of a car before the polishing process. Once the dust has been removed from the fabrics, it is possible to proceed with cleaning with Glico, thus obtaining incomparable cleaning results.
Why not try them for yourself and see the difference they can make? Spending just a few extra minutes with these brushes before applying cleaning chemicals will save you time in the long run, as the reduced dust and dirt allows the cleaning agents to work more efficiently. This is especially useful when using Labocosmetica Glico and Ductile, the new 2pH interior cleaning kit. It’s proof that the smallest details often deliver the biggest impact.
