The story behind the design of the Clothing Brush

The story behind the design

The story of our Clothing Brush began with a simple frustration: the endless removal of pet hair from clothing. We decided to create a solution and developed a brush with millions of micro-brushes that act magnetically on dust particles and hair. But for us it was not enough that it was functional; it also had to be beautiful. On the market we found only plastic junk brushes in (in our opinion) ugly bright colors. In line with our other products, we wanted our Clothing Brush to have a chic, Scandinavian minimalist design, matte-black and lightweight for optimal ease of use.


Materials

What we indicated to the factory for producing our brush: "It should be a luxury brush, witha sturdy handle and a coating with a fancy matt-rubber finish. A brush that is compact, and not too heavy, but still sturdy and very high quality. With the STEAMRS brush you are not bringing plastic junk into your home, but a very chic accessory."

To make the brush sturdy and durable, we use recycled ABS material and recycled polyester. Designing and developing the brush was a challenge. We wanted a material that was soft and caring for all types of fabrics, but also strong enough to effectively remove hair, lint and pellets. In the end, we created a unique system with thousands of micro bristles that are subtle to fabrics while incredibly strong at attracting and trapping unwanted hair. The result is an ideal brush that is not only functional, but also an asset to any interior and clothing collection.

 

The self-cleaning function

In addition to the functional design, we also wanted cleaning the brush to be a breeze. This is where the clever design comes in: the inside of the brush is lined with the same micro bristles as on the brush, but they are oriented just the other way around. This creates a unique effect when you insert the used brush (with hairs and fuzz on it) into the tube and then pull it out. All the bristles stick to the inside of the tube and are collected in the small receptacle provided for that purpose at the bottom of the brush.

This clever mechanism makes cleaning the brush effortless and time-saving. No more hassle of manually removing the bristles from the brush. With just a few simple movements, the brush is completely clean and ready to use again. The small collection tray catches all the hairs and lint, making it easy to remove them over the trash. No fuss, no mess, and no more hassle with annoying hairs on your clothes. With our self-cleaning Clothing Brush, removing pet hair becomes a quick and hassle-free task. Enjoy cuddling with your pet without worrying about hair on your clothes!
