How do you clean a vacuum brush?

A dirty multi-surface brush, parquet brush, or turbo brush prevents your vacuum from working well. It takes up less dirt and the suction power reduces. At the same time, it raises the energy consumption. Check the vacuum brushes regularly for built-up dirt. We'll explain how to remove the dirt in this article.

Get started

Check tube vacuum

How you clean a vacuum brush differs per brush. Make sure you clean every brush thoroughly by following the tips in this article:

  • Clean multi-surface brush
  • Clean parquet brush
  • Clean turbo brush
  • Clean small brush
  • Clean soft brush
  • Replace vacuum brush

Clean multi-surface brush

Miele multi-surface brush

Multi-surface brushes take up dirt via the airflow through the slit. Make sure nothing blocks the slit underneath the vacuum attachment. If you find dirt, remove it by hand. With a multi-surface brush, you can slide out the bristles of the brush with a push of a button. Also do this when you clean it, so you can also remove stuck hairs and dust from there. You can simply pluck it from the bristles by hand.

Clean parquet brush

You can clean a parquet brush in a similar way as the multi-surface brush. First, check the hole on underneath the suction brush. Does dust block the suction brush? Remove it by hand. You can simply pluck built-up dust from the bristles by hand.

Clean turbo brush

Philips turbo brush

Turbo brushes have a rolling brush. This can collect hair and dirt. Use scissors to cut it loose. This way, you can remove it very easily. Do this gently, so you don't damage the brush or hurt yourself. You can often remove the brush from the vacuum attachment by opening a hatch on the side. This way, it's even easier to remove the dirt.

Clean small brush

Upholstery tool vacuums dust

You can use small vacuum brushes to dust off furniture. They often have bristles that collect a lot of dust. This dust builds up. It's best to remove it with the vacuum. Take the attachment from the vacuum tube and clean it with the vacuum. You can also pluck the dust from the brush by hand, of course.

Clean soft brush roll

Wash Dyson brush

The soft brush roll is a parquet brush for stick vacuums. It discolors when you use it for a while, because it rotates across the floor at a high speed. Luckily, you can wash this brush. Open the hatch on the side of the floor attachment and remove the brush. You can simply rinse it under the faucet. In the meantime, you clear away all dirt and lint with your hand. Is the brush roll clean? Leave it out to dry for at least 24 hours before you put it back in its place.

Replace vacuum brush

The main brush often lasts as long as the vacuum itself. But it can still happen that you need to replace a brush due to wear or damage. Most vacuum brushes are universal. You can easily replace them. If you have a canister vacuum, check the diameter of the vacuum tube. You can find it in the manual. This way, you can be sure the new brush fits. Do you have a stick vacuum? You almost always need a specific brush.
