Cleaning your vents just got easier!
The Auger Vent Brush is a patent pending vent cleaning device that attaches to a drain auger.
Utilizing the strength, flexibility, and variable/longer lengths of drain augers is ideal for cleaning vents. They allow for easier cleaning and navigation of vents with one or more 90 degree bends. Most other devices intended for cleaning vents with bends are too short, not strong/rigid enough, and are only for pushing and pulling - no rotation.
No more stopping to add or remove extension pieces.
Most drain augers come in lengths that are more than adequate for household vents. You can also rotate this device and augers in both directions, getting a more thorough cleaning per pass. Some other devices can not be rotated counterclockwise without unthreading and losing an extension piece in your vent.
The Auger Vent Brush allows you to continuously clean your entire vent, bends and all, without stopping.
