What is the difference between a root brush and a panel brush, and what is a levang?

Here you will find the answers

1. Root brush: a scrubbing brush whose bristles are made from rice root, or Muhlenbergia macroura, which is the plant’s botanical name. It is a type of grass, but it is not the grass itself that is used—it is the roots. These roots are particularly tough, flexible, and water-resistant, making them well suited for scrubbing brushes.
Uses: Durable floors, old scrubbed floors, and stone or wooden surfaces that become heavily soiled and need to be cleaned with soap. Also suitable for outdoor use. Do not use on plastic flooring.

2. Panel brush: A classic Swedish-style scrubbing brush whose wooden panel is shaped like an S. The bristles may be made from soft Tampico fiber or a coarser union blend.
Uses: A classic scrubbing brush. Use it for floors and heavy-duty cleaning in kitchens and bathrooms, as well as for rugs and furniture. Choose the bristle hardness according to the intended use.

3. Levang: a scrubbing brush made with a fitting or a hole for mounting it onto a handle. A levang can have different shapes and sizes, and the bristles can vary in hardness.
Uses: Used for scrubbing large areas, floors, or outdoor decking. Choose the bristles according to the task.

4. Stove brush: A scrubbing brush with a handle, a traditional German design. Stove brushes were frequently used in the past, when tiled stoves and cast-iron stoves were found in every home. These stoves needed to be both cleaned and blackened, and the stove brush was ideal for the job. The stove brush has a pointed front so you can reach all the corners and edges of a stove.
Uses: Used for cleaning wood-burning stoves, but it works excellently anywhere you need to reach into corners. A stove brush is also preferable if you do a lot of scrubbing or have aches in your hands and fingers. The handle makes it much easier to grip.

5. Bathtub brush: A special, round or oval brush with a handle that extends straight up from the brush, allowing you to reach and scrub the bottom of a deep basin or bathtub.
Uses: Used to easily clean the bottom of a bathtub. If you have a bathtub at home, this is a brush worth investing in. Otherwise, cleaning the bathtub can be strenuous, uncomfortable, and time-consuming.

NOTE: All brushes made of wood and other natural materials can crack. The brush is not ruined even if it has developed a small crack. Wood is a living material that absorbs moisture and dries out depending on the environment in which it is stored. To prevent cracking, store the brush in a dry place between uses, with the bristles facing downward.
