A counter rotating brush is a versatile, multi-functional cleaning tool. It can be used in prespray agitation, carpet scrubbing, encapsulation cleaning, compound cleaning, and low moisture cleaning. It will also collect dirt better than a commercial vacuum cleaner.

Brush Head: The brush head may be molded from a variety of materials including synthetic and natural fibers, and/or metals. The brush head can be attached to a plunger that is configured to rotate relative to the handle as the brush head is manipulated by the user.
