Dust tends to accumulate in electrical outlets, especially in those of extension cords when the socket faces upward, but also in wall outlets. With the latter in particular, you shouldn’t just go around swishing a brush inside them—for obvious reasons. Until now, there was only one way to clean them thoroughly: removing the outlets. With this outlet brush, that’s now a thing of the past—and for some of us, it’s (to quote a colleague) “a real game-changer.” Thanks to its finely sanded and oiled wooden handle, you can use it to clean all the outlets (for grounded plugs) in your home. The bristles are made of elastic horsehair, whose high natural oil content ensures effective dust removal. The round brush head, covered entirely with horsehair, reaches even into the smallest nooks and crannies of the outlet. For storage, the outlet brush can be hung up using a leather cord, or it can be set down—within easy reach. It is crafted in the finest brush-making tradition by the Bürsten & Besen-Atelier in Hanover, where they have a keen sense for practical brushes—as evidenced not only by this outlet brush.
