When I was young, my mom had a clothes brush which had metal bristles. She
loved it. Maybe it worked better at removing hair, etc. I don't even know if
you can get those anymore.

I don't think they cared. Animals were always in the house. Ever heard of a
3Dog Night? That meant the dogs slept on the bed to help heat the bed. So
they wouldn't have worried about the air, would be my guess. With servants
to do such mundaine ork, maybe they did the tiddying up of
velvets and woolens.
