Purdy Jamb Duster Brush - 4 Inch

The Purdy Jamb Duster is a soft bristle dusting brush, 4 inches wide, made with natural lily bristles and set in a classic wooden handle. It is designed to sweep away dust from door jambs, frames, architraves, and mouldings before painting so that dust does not get trapped in wet paint. The soft bristles are gentle enough for detailed trim work while still lifting fine dust and debris out of corners and grooves.

How to Use

1. Wipe down the door jamb, frame, or moulding first to remove any loose surface dirt.
2. Use the jamb duster with light, sweeping strokes to lift fine dust from corners, edges, and detailed mouldings.
3. Work from top to bottom so dust falls away from areas you have already cleaned.
4. Follow up with a tack cloth if you need extra fine dust removal.
5. Apply primer or paint once the surface is fully dust free.
6. Tap out any debris from the bristles after use and store the brush flat or hanging to keep its shape.
