 an internal surface; and   an external surface, wherein each of the plurality of bristles are located on both the interior surface of the body and the exterior surface of the body.   
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein no holes are located on the exterior surface of the body. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein no bristles are located on the exterior surface of the body. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein a width of each of the plurality of holes is between one centimeter and a hundred centimeters. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 an extension arm configured to connect to the vacuum hose connector, wherein the extension arm is also configured to connect to the vacuum hose.   
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of holes are circular in shape. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the body has an oval shape. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the body has a rectangular shape. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the body has a U-shape. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the interior surface of the body has an L-shape. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body is made from molded plastic or molded metal. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body has an internal space proximate to the interior surface that is configured to allow a ceiling fan blade to pass through the internal space. 
     
     
         17 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the body and the plurality of bristles are configured to be washed with water without damaging the body or the plurality of bristles. 
     
     
         18 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the plurality of holes includes at least three rows of openings located along the interior surface of the body, and wherein the plurality of bristles includes at least three rows of bristles located along the interior surface of the body. 
     
     
         19 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 a fan;   a battery; and   a switch, wherein the fan is configured to be powered by the battery when the switch is in a first position, and wherein the fan is configured to not be power by the battery when the switch is in a second position, and wherein the fan is configured to cause air to flow from the internal air flow chamber out through the vacuum hose connector.   
     
     
         20 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the switch is an electro-mechanical switch, a transistor switch, or a processing circuit configured to preform a power switching operation.
