Product Information
Full details
The Draper 44247 Washing Brush is designed for vehicle owners and home users who need a reliable, lightweight tool for maintaining the exterior cleanliness of cars, vans, or caravans. Its primary benefit is the long-reach handle, which simplifies cleaning hard-to-reach areas like roofs or wide panels without excessive straining, though users should be aware that the plastic construction is best suited for light to medium-duty scrubbing rather than heavy-duty industrial degreasing.

FAQs
Is this brush safe for use on ceramic-coated cars?
Yes, the soft bristles are designed to be non-abrasive, making them appropriate for coated paintwork.
Can I attach this to a garden hose?
No, this specific model (44247) is a manual brush and does not feature a hollow handle for water-flow connections.
How long is the handle?
The brush features an extended design meant for reaching across vehicle panels, specifically engineered for user comfort.
Can I use this for cleaning alloy wheels?
While it can be used, the large head size may be less effective for tight crevices in complex wheel designs; it is best suited for flat surfaces.
How should I store the brush?
Store in a cool, dry place. Hanging the brush by the handle is recommended to keep the bristles from being crushed.
Troubleshooting
Bristles become matted or flattened
Soak the head in warm (not boiling) soapy water for 15 minutes, then gently comb the bristles with your fingers and allow to dry completely.
Brush head feels loose
Check the connection point at the base of the handle. Ensure no debris is trapped in the socket; remove any obstruction and re-seat the head securely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
This brush requires no assembly; it is ready to use immediately out of the packaging. It is compatible with standard automotive shampoos and general household cleaners. To maintain the life of the bristles, always rinse the brush thoroughly with clean water after each use to remove soap residue and dirt. Allow the brush to air dry in a vertical or hanging position with the bristles facing downward or outward, avoiding direct sunlight or high-heat sources to prevent the plastic components or bristles from warping over time.
