    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



    Natural Tampico Upholstery & Carpet Scrub Brush



    Mothers Interior & Upholstery Brush works Mothers Carpet Cleaner into auto carpet & upholstery to remove stains better. Use Mothers brush on the



    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.



    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...
