Støvkam

Støvkam is a Danish term that literally translates to "dust comb." It refers to a comb-like device, often made of metal or stiff plastic, designed for efficiently cleaning dust and debris from narrow crevices, edges, and textured surfaces. These tools are particularly useful for tasks where a standard duster or cloth cannot reach or effectively dislodge accumulated particles.

The design of a støvkam typically features closely spaced, stiff bristles or tines. These tines are thin enough to fit into tight spaces, such as the gaps between keys on a keyboard, the seams of furniture, or the edges of electronic devices. The comb-like action allows the user to comb through the dust, lifting it and making it easier to collect with a vacuum cleaner, a brush, or by simply shaking the device outdoors.

Støvkam are employed in various domestic and professional cleaning contexts. They are popular among individuals who maintain sensitive electronic equipment, as they can carefully remove dust buildup without causing static discharge. Homeowners also find them useful for cleaning intricate decorative items, car interiors, and areas where dust tends to accumulate unnoticed. The simplicity and effectiveness of the støvkam make it a practical tool for detailed cleaning tasks.
