Friday: Cabinet Broom

6 Apr

 

Durable and inventive, Pitfield London’s cabinet broom (£33) is 147cm long and created with two pieces of retro-looking waxed beechwood and horsehair brushes. Suitable for cupboard recesses, it is also known as the ‘behind the cupboard brush’ because it’s ideal for cleaning behind your wardrobe and in hard to reach places. Store easily and practically right behind your cabinet.

 

Thursday: Dish Washing Brushes

5 Apr

There’s nothing more unsightly (well, almost nothing), than a stack of dirty dishes in the kitchen. Pitfield’s delightful dishwashing brushes (£2.50 each – what a bargain!) certainly make the kitchen sink look a little more stylish. Our black soft horsehair brush heads are perfect for washing cups and plates, whilst the cream coloured stiffer, hard plant fibre brushes can be used on pots and pans.

 

Wednesday: Feather Dusters

4 Apr

Not only are they absolutely beautiful, Pitfield London’s collection of feather dusters present ‘specialist exterminators, that engage in battle against spider webs, dust bunnies and fluff hideaways’! With their long varnished wooden handles and stunning, luxury ostrich feather heads, there’s no corner these dusters cannot reach. Pictured is the small feather duster with striking black feathers (£15), medium sized duster with especially fabulous large feather  head (£25) and the ‘noble’ long feather duster, which features a waxed beechwood handle and sleek leather cuff (£28). Don’t you just LOVE them?

 

Tuesday: Dust Brush

3 Apr

Baring in mind that they say 90% of dust is made up of skin, there’s simply no excuse to leave it settling anywhere in your home or office. Our innovative dust brush (£8.50) is 70cm long, extremely flexible and made with the strongest yet soft dark goat’s hair. Dust the cracks between your freeview box and DVD player, your iPod dock or any tight space you’ve struggled to reach before! Calling all OCD cleaners, your house really will be spotless.

 

Monday: Pastry Cutter Cleaner Set

2 Apr

Love baking? Hate having sticky fingers? Can’t quite reach that tiny corner? Pitfield’s pastry cutter cleaner set (£4) is a baker’s best friend. This kitchen essential stops the aftermath of pudding getting quite so torturous. Our two-piece utensil is twisted together in wire, with dark bristles. It’s double brushes are 9 and 10.5cm long and get into every awkward nook and cranny. What are you waiting for? It’s cookie time.

Why not post your baking successes (and the not so successful for a laugh!) on our Facebook page? Did our pastry cutter cleaners help you at the kitchen sink?

 

A brush a day keeps the cobwebs away…

30 Mar

The sun is out and it may have meant longer lunch breaks and evenings in a beer garden, but next week, it’s time to think about spring cleaning! Pitfield London’s selection of brushes may not sound very exciting at first, but we stock a brush for pretty much everything you could think of. Our vast variety of specialist brushes makes cleaning so easy. Don’t make life difficult for yourself – use the right brush for the right job!

Have you seen Pitfield London’s spring cleaning themed window? Come to Hoxton and check it out.

Follow us next week to see our brush of choice each day. You’ll be amazed by the way complicated brushes can make cleaning easy.
