Operating Instructions

These brushes are designed for efficient cleaning on various hard surfaces. Always test on an inconspicuous area first.

• Apply an appropriate cleaning solution to the surface to be cleaned.
• With the brush attached to your drill, gently press the brush onto the surface.
• Start the drill at a low speed and gradually increase as needed for effective scrubbing.
• Move the brush in a consistent pattern over the surface, allowing the bristles to agitate and lift dirt.

Maintenance

Proper maintenance will extend the life of your cleaning brushes:

• After each use, rinse the brushes thoroughly with clean water to remove any cleaning solution or debris.

• Store brushes in a dry place away from direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Inspect bristles regularly for wear and tear. Replace brushes if bristles become excessively worn or damaged.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using your Dirt Devil Hard Bristle Cleaning Brush Set, consider the following:

• Brush not spinning: Ensure the brush is securely tightened in the drill chuck. Check that the drill battery is charged or the power cord is connected.
• Ineffective cleaning: Verify you are using the correct cleaning solution for the surface. Increase drill speed if necessary, but avoid excessive force. The bristles may be worn and require replacement.
• Surface damage: Always test the brush on an inconspicuous area first. Ensure the hard bristles are appropriate for the surface material. Reduce pressure and speed if scratching occurs.
