What kind of brush to use on container?

[glgflyer 0]

I saw a guy at my DZ brushing his container with some kind of small brush to clean it. Can someone tell me what type of brush to use for this and whether or not it will damage the material in any way? Thanks for the help.

I have a natural bristle brush that I got at a shoe repair shop (recommended to me by a rigger).

Thanks for the info. Does it do a good job of cleaning the container?

I use a brush with stiff nylon bristles, like you would use to clean your finger nails or potatoes.

A friend recently did an excellent job of cleaning seat belts using only a tooth brush. It took her a long time, but the seat belts ended up pretty.

Where I started, we had a nylon brush in the packing room for cleaning containers that was labeled as the "brush of shame".

Then went to a different DZ and the rigger called the rig brush the "brush of quiet dignity".

It's all about perspective.

not too stiff, or it will raise a fuzzy surface (not that I would know from personal experience)
