التسريح بالفرشاة
Explanation:
The word "brush" has no original Arabic equivalent, as a noun or as a verb. Several noun forms, however, have acquired an almost standard status in Modern Arabic. The word قرشاة is one of them.

To my knowledge, no verb form for "brush" has taken hold yet. Therefore, I suggest a composite form:

التسريح بالفرشاة

التنظيف بالفرشاة


Explanation:
but why is it categorized under Tech/Engineering?

التنظيف بالفرشاة أدى إلى إزالة بقايا الصابون عندما تم غسل الشعر بالصابون

sounds like brushing here is not about "combing" تسريح أو تمشيط بالمشط but is rather about using a brush to remove the residue
