From QVC to your laundry room.
Steve invented the Lint Extractor brush, sold it on QVC, and still makes it in the USA. One brush, one job: keep the lint moving out of your dryer.
The brush itself — stamped Lint Extractors, Made in USA.
The Lint Extractor Brush
- A long flexible shaft that reaches down behind your lint screen — where the screen alone cannot catch everything.
- The same design Steve invented and pitched on live national television.
- Stamped Lint Extractors · Made in USA on the handle.
- Cleaning behind the screen once a month is the habit that keeps the duct ahead of the lint.
Steve carries them on the truck. When he’s out at your place he’ll show you how to use it on your own dryer — and you can buy one on the spot.
“Cleaning once a month behind your lint screen is recommended.” — the original Lint Extractor instructions, thirty years ago. Still true.
The original — not the $4 knockoff.
There are more copies of Steve’s brush out there than he can count — $3.99, $5.99 lookalikes of the design he sold on QVC. The problem isn’t the flattery. It’s the bristles.
Cheap knockoffs anchor their bristles poorly, and bristles that pull loose or snap off stay in your duct. Stray wire and plastic can score the metal, work into the dryer itself, and give lint something to snag and pack around — which means a bargain brush can leave the run more dangerous than it found it.
Steve’s brush is the same made-in-the-USA build as the QVC days: a twisted-wire core, bristles that stay put, and his name stamped on the handle.
And an honest note about any brush, his included: it is for behind your lint screen — the monthly habit — not for forcing down the full duct run. That is how brushes end up broken off inside ducts, and retrieving them is a service call Steve makes more often than you would think.
An original idea. Still made with care.
Steve sold his brush on QVC and by mail order. These original ads and photos come from his own scrapbook:
