Indeed, it might be asked why, if having cleaned a record with Record Restore, there is even a need for a dust brush? Random dust is a fact of life - the air is full of it - and can find its way onto your records any number of ways. The Dust Brush is how random dust is quickly and effectively removed. If the pandemic taught us anything is was that to blow is to spit, so never blow dust off your record!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOur dust brush is a natural bristle brush, which means its bristles are not smooth, making them really very good at efficiently trapping small surface dust particles.
