Lumiharjat

Lumiharja is a Finnish term referring to a type of brush designed for clearing snow from surfaces, most commonly vehicles. Its primary function is to remove frost and light snow accumulation from windows, mirrors, and bodywork of cars, trucks, and other vehicles. A typical lumiharja consists of a long handle for reach and a brush head made of bristles, often made of plastic or synthetic materials. Some models may also incorporate a squeegee on the opposite side of the brush head, allowing for the removal of water or slush after the snow has been cleared.

The design of a lumiharja prioritizes effectiveness in cold weather conditions. The bristles are generally stiff enough to dislodge snow without scratching the vehicle's paint or glass. The extended handle is crucial for reaching across the entire windshield and roof of larger vehicles. Lumiharjat are a common accessory in regions that experience winter weather and are essential tools for maintaining visibility and safe driving conditions. They are typically stored in a vehicle's trunk or backseat during the winter months for convenient access. Variations in size, handle length, and brush head design exist to cater to different user preferences and vehicle types.
