Turk's head brush

A Turk's head brush is a type of cleaning brush where the bristles are arranged covering the end of the stem as a half-sphere, so that the end of the stem does not come into direct contact with the surface being cleaned, especially when cleaning the inside of a cylindrical object.

A larger type, mounted on a long stem and used for removing cobwebs, is called a "Turk's head broom".

[1] Turk's head brushes and brooms are used for domestic purposes,[2] for cleaning artillery,[3] for pharmaceutical use,[4] for sweeping chimneys,[5] and for other purposes.

Some types of toilet bowl brushes with this design are referred to by resellers by the name "Turk's head toilet bowl brush".

[6][7][8] In response, Newell Rubbermaid, the recipient of TALDF's complaint, stated that the company itself does not use this name in any of its product advertising.
