Armstrong's All Natural Tampico Scrub Brush

Tampico fiber is a natural vegetable material that offers the perfect balance of stiffness and flexibility. It is firm enough to lift stubborn grime and debris from leather pores without being so abrasive that it scratches or damages the finish, which can sometimes happen with stiffer synthetic bristles.

No, this brush is designed for smooth, finished leathers. The stiff Tampico fibers are too aggressive for delicate, napped surfaces like suede or nubuck and could permanently damage the texture.

The handle is unfinished wood, which provides a natural, non-slip grip even when your hands are damp from cleaning solutions. Because it is untreated, we recommend keeping it dry and avoiding soaking the wood to prevent warping or cracking over time.

Rinse the bristles thoroughly with cool water to remove any residual soap or dirt. Shake off the excess water and let the brush air dry with the bristles facing downward or on their side to ensure the wooden handle stays dry.

This brush is primarily intended for cleaning and prepping the leather surface. While it can help work in a cleaner, we recommend using a soft cloth or a dedicated applicator sponge for applying conditioners to ensure an even, gentle application.
