Operating Instructions
The BISSELL Refresh Manual Sweeper is designed for effortless cleaning. Simply push the sweeper across the desired surface. The 7-brush system works to pick up dirt, crumbs, hair, and other debris on both forward and return motions.
- For Carpets and Area Rugs: Push the sweeper in a back-and-forth motion over the carpeted area. The brushes are designed to agitate and lift debris from carpet fibers.
- For Hard Floors: Use the same back-and-forth motion on sealed hard floors. The rubber corner brushes help capture debris along edges and in corners.
- Quick Spills: For small, localized messes, the sweeper provides a fast and convenient solution without needing to plug in a vacuum.

Cleaning the Brushes
Periodically check the brushes for tangled hair or debris. Use scissors to carefully cut away any wrapped hair from the brush rolls. Ensure all brushes spin freely for effective cleaning.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your BISSELL Refresh Manual Sweeper, refer to the common problems and solutions below:
- Sweeper not picking up debris: Check if the dirt bins are full and empty them if necessary. Inspect the brushes for any obstructions or excessive tangles and clean them as described in the Maintenance section.
- Brush roll detaches: If a brush roll comes loose, ensure it is properly reinserted. For the main brush roll, align the ends with their respective slots and push firmly until secured. Some users have noted that the handle connection point can also help secure the brush roll by pushing it back into the body.
- Handle feels loose: Ensure all handle sections are tightly screwed together and that the handle is securely attached to the sweeper base.
