Domestic Vacuum Cleaner

OK, so I got bored and started rebristling the brushroll in the Domestic

A fine sweeper! What did you use to polish the wood? I am afraid of what polish to use which might take the logo off.

Old English Scratch Cover for dark wood then Antiquax from England

 

[huskyvacs]

Oh wow, Old English huh? I have had the same bottle of that in my cupboard since the 90's. I never used it as I thought it was a stain. I will look at it closer again.

I will see if I can locate some Antiquax and see how it does.

Ever start a project then lose interest for a few days?

Half way through rebristling

I got it rebristled this afternoon, used up some of the scrap horsehair then started a new bundle of Chestnut horsehair.
Trimmed the bristles down and put the brushroll back in.
Got a handle from Menards for $3.
