What is the difference between a root brush and a panel brush, and what is a levang?

Here you will find the answers

1. Root brush: a scrubbing brush whose bristles are made from rice root, or Muhlenbergia macroura, as the plant is actually called. It is a type of grass, but it is not the grass itself that is used— it is the roots. These roots are particularly tough, resilient, and water-resistant, making them well suited for scrubbing brushes.
Uses: Durable floors, old scrubbed floors, and stone or wooden surfaces that become heavily soiled and need to be cleaned with soap. Also works outdoors. Do not use on plastic flooring.

2. Panel brush: A classic Swedish-style scrubbing brush in which the wooden panel itself is shaped like an S. The bristles may be made of soft Tampico fiber or a coarser union blend.
Uses: A classic scrubbing brush. Use it for floors and heavy-duty cleaning of kitchens, bathrooms, rugs, and furniture. Choose the bristle stiffness according to the intended use.

3. Levang: a scrubbing brush made with a fitting or a hole for mounting it on a handle. The levang may have different shapes and sizes, and the bristles may vary in stiffness.
Uses: Used for scrubbing large surfaces, floors, or outdoor decking. Choose the bristles according to the task.

4. Stove brush: A scrubbing brush with a handle, a common German design. Stove brushes were frequently used in the past, when tiled stoves and cast-iron stoves were found in every home. These had to be both cleaned and blackened, and the stove brush was ideal for the task. The stove brush is pointed at the front to reach all the corners and edges of a stove.
Uses: Used for cleaning wood-burning stoves, but works excellently anywhere you need to reach into corners. A stove brush is also preferable if you do a lot of scrubbing or have pain in your hands and fingers. The handle makes it much easier to grip.

5. Bathtub brush: A specialized brush, round or oval, with the handle extending straight up from the brush so that you can reach and scrub the bottom of a deep tub or bathtub.
Uses: Used to easily clean the bottom of a bathtub. If you have a bathtub at home, this is a brush worth investing in. Otherwise, cleaning the bathtub can be strenuous, uncomfortable, and time-consuming.

NOTE: All brushes made of wood and other natural materials can crack. The brush is not ruined even if it has cracked slightly. Wood is a living material that absorbs moisture and dries out depending on the environment in which it is stored. To avoid cracking, the brush should be stored in a dry place between uses, with the bristles facing downward.
