Brush Roll Maintenance Tips Every Robot Vacuum Owner Should Know

🧹 Is Your Robot Vacuum Losing Power?

Have you noticed your robot vacuum isn’t cleaning as well as it used to?It might not be broken — it might just be dirty.

One of the most common reasons for reduced cleaning performance is a neglected brush roll. This essential component comes into direct contact with floors and picks up hair, dust, and debris. Over time, it can become tangled, worn out, or clogged — all of which affect your robot's performance.

🧩 Why Brush Rolls Need Attention

• Hair tangles easily, especially in homes with pets or long hair

• Dust builds up, especially when mixed with moisture or oil from floors

• Brush bristles wear out after long-term use, becoming less effective

• Loose or incorrect installation can reduce suction and lead to noise

🔧 How to Take Care of Your Brush Roll

✅ Clean it weekly

• Remove the brush roll and use a small brush or cleaning tool to remove pet hair, string, or threads

• Wipe away dust and debris from the brush and the housing

• Pet owners should consider cleaning every 3–5 days

✅ Replace it every 6 months

• If the bristles look bent, frayed, or shorter than before, it’s time for a new one

• In high-shedding homes, a replacement every 3–4 months is better

✅ Avoid using it on wet floors

• Don’t run the robot right after mopping — moisture can damage the brush

• Let floors dry completely to prevent mold, odor, or bristle damage

✅ Make sure it's properly installed

• Follow the arrows or guides on the robot to click the brush into place

• An improperly seated brush can cause noise or stop spinning altogether

Replacing the roller brush helps the robot work more efficiently.
