ABSTRACT:
A multi-purpose vacuum cleaner accessory is provided for use in grooming multiple types of animals and for cleaning fabric and flooring substrates. The accessory comprises a body and a brush attachable thereto. The brush is configured for creating an airflow directed to the surface of the animal's coat or substrate so that the brush is effective for use on all types of animal coats and fabrics/flooring. The brush comprises a circumferential, downwardly-extending skirt and a plurality of cross-members extending inwardly from sides of said brush and joining together in the interior thereof. The skirt and cross-members have a plurality of downwardly-projecting, spaced teeth wherein the teeth are comprised of a thermoplastic material having a relatively high co-efficient of friction to adhere to loose hair to be suctioned (preferably, a durometer reading of Shore A65) and sufficient strength for said brush to achieve brushing action. The length of the teeth being in the range 4-10 mm, a length of 6 mm being preferable, and the ratio between the area of said teeth and the spacing between said teeth is preferably 1:1.
