Caring for your floors

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.
