I just bought a dry/wet vac and some Meguiar`s APC+.

Now I need a brush to scrub them salt stains out!

I`m not sure which one to choose...came down to these 3:



Carrand Deluxe Interior Brush, carpet scrub brush, upholstery brush, rug brush, carpet cleaner brush (http://www.autogeek.net/interior-brush.html)



Natural Tampico Upholstery & Carpet Scrub Brush (http://www.autogeek.net/natural-tampico-upholstery-carpet-scrub-brush.html)



Mothers Interior & Upholstery Brush works Mothers Carpet Cleaner into auto carpet & upholstery to remove stains better. Use Mothers brush on the (http://www.autogeek.net/mothers-interior-upholstery-brush.html)



The first two are similar design but I`m not sure what is Tampico really

The Mothers is cheaper but I like the fact that the bristles are shorter which I THINK would make easier heavy scrubbing?



SOS!

I have the Mothers brush and like it alot. The bristles are not that stiff/dense as my Meg`s brush which I do not like. I have not used the others.

Either brush will work but I`d use a dedicated carpet shampoo instead of an APC.

I`m a big fan of natural bristle brushes. I like these from Braun: Furniture Brushes : Braun Brush Co. (http://www.brush.com/carpet-upholstery-furniture-brushes-c-6_150.html)



Nice to have a spotting brush as well.

I always use two. I like the Mothers upholstery brush for overall cleaning but more importantly, I use a very short bristled nylon 3" flat paintbrush for detail work. The short bristles give stiffness and allow you to concentrate on detail for spots. Much better results than using just a big brush.

You really dont want to scrub hard with a stiff bristle brush. Its better to let the product dwell and do the work. Id also get a dedicated carpet cleaner like David mentioned. Might want to look into ProChem.

If you have PC, you can use a brush attachment on that.



Just a thought...
