Futon Brush – “Y”

Description

I am a “Y” Futon Brush. When I see dirt and dust run amok, I ask myself, “Y?”

Curator’s Notes

Futon mattresses are a great way to save space as they roll up into a compact bundle, but are difficult to clean. This brush is designed specifically to make the job easier, with horsehair bristles that gently remove surface dust and a wooden end that can be used like a carpet beater to drive out dirt. The “Y” end of the brush provides a stable base as the piece leans against the wall, while the hole at the other end allows it to be hung on a hook. I love the bold, playful shape! Adds a bit of fun to your routine household cleaning.
