Kreppbürste Rubber suede brush Explanation: This is obviously not a direct translation of the term given; but it's what the average English-speaker would understand best, and it's not exactly wide of the mark, either. If you "google" for "suede brush" and also for "crepe brush", you'll find ten times as many of the former; on top of that, the majority of the latter appear to refer to cooking "...crepe, brush (with lemon juice)etc...". The site below is a typical "suede care" site. "Cleaning and care of Suede... Always clean suede before storing it for any length of time. Suede can be brushed with a soft rubber or bristle brush, or a wire suede brush. ..." aswas.tipking.com/com/Tips/publish/tip_24.shtml |
