Where did you get the vac from?

Hey Freddie, for brushes, just an idea. Mini wire wheels (dremel style) or jewelry cleaning brushes. Some examples below, maybe you could work with something on here even if you had to bend the bristles down or something :

My advise would be to go with a natural bristle as opposed to a hard wire, so you don't scratch your floors and get a kick in the *** from the Mrs.

Another few examples:

OR....for a homemade approach, you could make a styrene disc and cut the brush head off a small, round artists brush and glue that to the styrene disc. Then just trim the bristles down to size.

And for some inspiration, not that you need it, but some reference anyway:

Lastly, the brushes don't have to be horizontal. Sure you could have one horizontal on either side, or just one long vertical "spiral" brush across the bottom, or a combo of both, like this:
