Operating Instructions

Maintenance
Regular maintenance extends the life of your brush and ensures consistent cleaning performance.
- Daily Cleaning: After each use, remove the brush from the machine and rinse it thoroughly with clean water to remove dirt, debris, and cleaning solution residue.
- Inspect Bristles: Regularly inspect the nylon bristles for wear, damage, or embedded debris. Remove any tangled strings, hair, or other foreign objects.
- Storage: Store the brush in a clean, dry area, preferably hanging or standing on its end to allow bristles to dry evenly and prevent deformation. Avoid storing it flat on its bristles.
- Replacement: Replace the brush when bristles show significant wear, are splayed, or no longer provide effective cleaning. The lifespan of the brush depends on usage frequency, floor type, and cleaning solutions used.
