Abstract: A brush for general surface cleaning comprises a casing rotatably housing a bladed impeller (8) with which a nozzle (9) is tangentially associated for the entry of the wash water, which then flows towards a cleaning member comprising at least one slide block (3) positioned to close the lower aperture of the casing and lowerly provided with a mass of bristles (31), and linked to the impeller shaft (7) in such a manner as to be subjected to reciprocating rectilinear movement transversely to said shaft (7).
