2. Setup and Installation

Follow these steps to properly attach the hoogo Flipflop brush to your vacuum cleaner.

2. Attach the Brush: Firmly insert the vacuum cleaner hose into the connection port of the hoogo Flipflop brush. Ensure a secure fit to prevent loss of suction during operation.
3. Dyson Compatibility (Optional): If you own a Dyson V10, V11, or V15 model, you will need the hoogo AD 14 adapter (B0B5B9PVSG), which is sold separately. Attach the adapter to your Dyson vacuum, then connect the Flipflop brush to the adapter.

4. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your hoogo Flipflop brush, follow these simple maintenance guidelines:

• Bristle Cleaning: Periodically check the natural bristles for accumulated lint, hair, or debris. These can be easily wiped off by hand or vacuumed away with a smaller attachment.
• No Special Treatment: The natural bristles do not require any special cleaning agents or treatments. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the bristles.
• Storage: Store the brush in a clean, dry place when not in use.

5. Troubleshooting

This section addresses common issues you might encounter with your hoogo Flipflop brush.

5.1. Reduced Suction

• Check Connection: Ensure the brush is securely attached to the vacuum cleaner hose. A loose connection can lead to air leaks and reduced suction.
• Clear Obstructions: Inspect the bristles and the brush's air channels for any blockages (e.g., large debris, tangled hair) that might impede airflow.
• Vacuum Cleaner Issue: If the problem persists, check your vacuum cleaner's bag/canister, filters, and hose for any issues, as the problem might not be with the brush itself.

5.2. Brush Not Folding/Unfolding Properly

• Check for Obstructions: Ensure there is no debris or foreign objects caught in the folding mechanism that might prevent smooth operation.
• Manual Adjustment: Gently try to manually fold or unfold the brush to see if it moves freely. If it feels stiff, check for any visible damage.
