Guys,



I'm looking for a brush that is safe enough to use in the crevices of my leather seats. I see a good amount of debris in between the stitching that I'd like to remove.



I've got a brush right now that does the job very well, but I'm being paranoid of it possibly causing some damage--not sure if it's "too" stiff.



What do you guys use in this department?
 
i was at walmart the other day and noticed they had a horsehair brush (blue cardboard packaging) that was soft and it was located in the endcap of the shoe section where the shoe polish, etc, were at...
 
If you are looking for best leather cleaning brush, than go with Upholstery Gentle Horse Hair Brush. It is having soft bristles crimped with horse hair which are gentle on leather and convenient for scrubbing hard-to-reach area.
 
Sounds like I'd need the best of both worlds- soft enough to prevent leather damage, yet hard enough to clean the crap outta the crevices, etc.



Daniel, do you have a link?
 
Dishwashing brush from the local supermarket. We have used them for years in our training classes and cleaning work.

No need to buy a special brush for leather cleaning. Most of them are tampico or horse hair which become too soft when wet to be of any use.



Hope this helps

Yeah, I learned that the hard way...my "horsehair leather brush" from Griot's is one of those "too gentle" ones.



I'm a little surprised that the tampico-bristle ones also get too soft though :think:

Umm.... I probably am going to regret asking this, but what exactly do you use toothpaste and Listerine for? :soscared:

I was thinking tooth brush--but then again, for soft leather i would think the dress shoe brushes?

Well, the enamel on my teeth is a lot tougher than a lot of interior surfaces :think: Some toothbrushes that'd be fine for teeth would be a bit much for softer leathers.



The softer natural-bristle toothbrushes like I get from the Vermont Country Store would be good though. I was using the "medium" one yesterday to scrub some leather footware, and it was plenty soft while still being effective.
