Tampico Cleaning Brush

This is a versatile brush that's great to have since it can be used to clean a wide variety of fabrics and leathers. The natural bristles are relatively stiff, allowing this brush to scrub away dirt, dust, debris, and stains, but soft enough to not scratch leather or pull at the threads of fabric. This brush can be used dry, but we highly recommend this brush for applyingSaddle Soap (if you are cleaning leather) or Canvas Cleaner (if you are cleaning fabrics).
