Before vacuuming your flooring, rugs, and carpets, check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions.
The brush bar on your machine can damage certain flooring. Some rug materials may fuzz if a rotating brush bar is used when vacuuming. If this happens, we recommend vacuuming without the motorized floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.
