Compact Dusting Tool for Commercial Vacuum Cleaning
This 3" dust brush attachment combines soft, dense horsehair bristles with a durable polypropylene body to help remove dust and debris from small or hard-to-reach surfaces. The brush friction-fits to a 1.5" hose and connects to both Type 1 and Type 2 vacuum tool couplings, making it a versatile attachment for a wide range of commercial vacuum systems.
Soft Horsehair Bristles for Detailed Dusting
The dense horsehair bristles are designed to loosen and capture dust efficiently while helping protect the surface being cleaned. The soft bristles are particularly useful when cleaning surfaces where a more aggressive vacuum tool could cause scratching or scuffing.
3" Compact Brush Head
The 3" brush width provides a compact cleaning surface for detailed dusting and cleaning in smaller areas where a larger vacuum tool would be difficult to maneuver.
Soft Horsehair Bristles
Dense horsehair bristles help dislodge dust particles while providing a softer contact surface for furniture, fixtures and other surfaces that require careful cleaning.
Durable Polypropylene Body
The polypropylene body provides high impact resistance and is resistant to most solvents and chemicals, making the attachment well suited to demanding commercial cleaning environments.
Protective Vinyl Bumper
A vinyl bumper surrounds the brush to help protect cleaned surfaces from scratches, scuffs and dents during vacuuming.
1.5" Hose Fit with Type 1 & Type 2 Compatibility
The dust brush friction-fits to a 1.5" hose and is designed to connect to both Type 1 and Type 2 vacuum tool couplings.

Buying Guide for the 3" Dust Brush Attachment
A dust brush is a useful vacuum accessory when you need to remove loose dust and debris from smaller surfaces without using a hard vacuum nozzle. This 3" attachment combines soft horsehair bristles with a compact brush head and is designed for compatible 1.5" vacuum systems using Type 1 or Type 2 tool couplings.
Before purchasing, identify the connector style used by your vacuum system. This dust brush is compatible with both Type 1 and Type 2 connections. Refer to the compatibility chart in the Overview section to compare your vacuum brand with the supported connector types.
The soft horsehair bristles make this attachment well suited to detailed dusting where a softer brush is preferred. The compact 3" head is particularly useful on furniture, fixtures, blinds and other smaller surfaces.
When to Choose a Dust Brush
Choose a dust brush when the primary goal is to loosen and remove dust from a surface while maintaining gentle contact. The bristles can work into textured or uneven surfaces more effectively than a rigid vacuum nozzle, while the compact head provides greater control in smaller areas.
- Furniture: Dust tables, cabinets, shelving and other furniture surfaces.
- Blinds: Help remove accumulated dust from blinds and similar surfaces.
- Fixtures: Clean smaller fixtures and detailed areas where a larger attachment is difficult to maneuver.
- Office equipment: Use for controlled dusting around suitable non-sensitive surfaces and equipment areas.
- General facility cleaning: Add a compact dusting tool to commercial vacuum accessory kits.
Compatibility Tip: The 1.5" hose fit and connector type are separate considerations. Confirm that your vacuum system uses a compatible 1.5" connection and one of the supported Type 1 or Type 2 tool coupling configurations before ordering.
