The Rota Brush can be used without breaking in the brush. It's true that it isn't as soft as horse hair. And on very delicate fabric, I would still recommend horse hair. But on moderately sturdy fabric the Rota Brush works very well. Just make sure that you lubricate the fabric with cleaning solution, use the brush at a low speed setting on a variable drill, and apply light pressure to the brush.

I have found a microfiber wash mitt works best for me.

Now that makes more sense than the roto brush, if you want to clean panels etc. in that fashion.

A Rota Brush is great when you have a lot of comm type chairs to clean. Have one person spray down soultion and have another follow with Rota Brush.

On resi uph, I only use a sea sponge or a horse hair brush. Easy way to do uph.
