The ceiling in one room is the sprayed-on cottage cheese type. Would this work or would a stiffer brush be better? Or a different shape brush?

I should....I use it to dust the stone wall above my fireplace. Works great!

This brush is soft enough to get dust and cob webs off, but whether or not it will work on your situtationI don't know. The brush is easy to use and can easily be cleaned.

It should work ok. The bristles are plastic so they wont get caught in anything.

I use my cobweb brush to sweep autumn leaves off my gutter guards. These guards are made of very fine Foudrinier wire stainless steel screen. The guards are very tough and smooth. Sprayed-on ceilings are rough, and the fibers of the cobweb brush would, in my judgment, out, e.g. fray and begin to break, after a short period of use on such a ceiling.

I have a 2nd house where my kids live while going to College. It also has that same ceiling. I use this brush there with no problems. It is not so stiff it cracks the plaster.

I have very low ceilings with a heavely shaded yard. I painted my ceiling a gloss white, latex paint to make it brighter in the house. I used a 4" roller, because it was easier to roll around the pattern. I used gloss paint so I can use a sponge mop and clean the ceiling. I love the ceiling and how much easier it is to take care of. Eventually, we will do all the rooms!

Hey Madeline, This would be more like a smoothing brush for thick hair. You may want to consider one of the cushioned wood-bristle brushes.

The brush is fairly stiff, like any standard scrub brush you find in the store. I've used it on laminate doors as well as my tub and it works fine. I just use it on a lower speed when I use it on weaker materials. The bit is standard and should fit nearly any drill.

yeah, but not 100% without some care and help with priming. i sprayed some heavy ceiling paint but it took as long as using a roller.... so if that's all you are considering using the machine for, i might pass. it is really designed for "regular" paints

If you're patient and leave the stuff alone, paint and varnish comes off in sheets. It'll bubble out of bevels and carved areas. I'd also stay away from a wire brush, simply because the wood becomes soft from moisture. If you leave it on long enough, you only need a plastic scraper to squeegie the stuff off, and a toothpick maybe to pick it out of the harder to reach areas. I love this tuff. I'm stripping 3 cabinet doors, a drawer, and one entire cabinet as we speak, in my master bedroom, in front of the TV. Love it.

Is feels solid in the amount of time it takes to put down the sprayer and touch the foam. My bet is that it will work. Check their website to see videos. I think they have one about strategies for spraying a ceiling.

I installed this ceiling medallion with Power Grab by Loctite it instantly grabs and holds, also it drys clear so if any gets around the edge you will never notice it. It's been a year and it's still up and looking great. Good luck!

I like a bit of a stiffer brush for grout. This would probably do an ok job, it may not hold up as well as a brush with stiffer bristles might. Happy scouring!

I think it's better if you do for the floor. Every wood floor and finish is different but the brushes might scratch the finish.

The small stiff brush works great on baseboards. It knocks off the crud. The long brush woukd do blinds if they are closed. The rotating brush was terrific on ceiling fans! FYI, the stiff brush works great on my Golden Retriever.

The best bet would be to ask a hairdresser, Jamie, but I'm thinking a short curly hairstyle would be best served with a thinner brush and a straight style with a thicker one. Hope that helps.

I used this product on a flat ceiling but , as with all the units I've installed, I do a simple , cheap add on that may work for you..... Use some PVC fittings ( I used a coupling and cap on the ceiling end of the pole. This may work for you with a liittle trial and error to figure out whether 1/2 " or3/4 " fittings would work best in your application. I used this product with success and happy with it..... I would buy again.

I just painted a bathroom ceiling with it. Be careful that you do not tilt the sprayer more than 45°, as the manual warns, or paint might enter the fan mechanism and ruin the sprayer. Provide yourself with lots of lighting. Spraying white on white, I had a hard time maintaining consistent overlap, as it can be difficult to see where the paint is going.

My experience to date is that the Swifter does a great job with ceiling fans (I use the long handled, extendable one). My recommendation is to dust frequently so that dust doesn't build up for more than a week.

I used liquid nails. It comes "pre-pasted", but the included adhesive is weak, and normal wallpaper paste is not suitable for keeping this stuck to a ceiling.

If you are using it in your house, find a suitable ceiling joist. I used a ny-glide swing hanger (found on amazon) then the rotational device and heavy duty caribiner.
