The soft brush is for multipurpose use, ideal for mesh and canvas, and the stiff brush is for thoroughly cleaning tough surfaces like textured rubber or shoe soles. The soft sponge is for delicate materials like PVC, leather, and suede. It also has a water-resistant head that protects the device during use. 

The sneaker cleaner is light, cordless and therefore portable, making it a handy item to have in your laundry or when travelling.
