Caring for your floors

dyson-UP32-Ball-Animal-Upright-Vacuum-Cleaner-fig-10

Check that the underside of the cleaner head or tool is clean and free from any objects that may cause damage.
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 motorised floor tool and consulting with your flooring manufacturer.

Using your Motorbar™ cleaner head

Your cleaner head has a motor-driven brush bar with suction control.
Check the manufacturer’s recommended cleaning instructions for your flooring type.
Slide the suction control to suit your floor type. Select the right cleaning mode for the right task.
Position the slider to the left for use on deep- to medium-pile carpets, delicate flooring and rugs.
Position the slider in the center for low-pile carpets and large debris.
Position the slider to the right for hard floors and ground-in dirt.
