You should check your vacuum cleaner’s rotating floor brush and drive belt
regularly for wear or damage. You should also clean the brush and brush ends
of strings, hair, and carpet fibers. These can wrap around the brush and hamper
its ability to effectively clean your carpet. Also remove any debris that has
accumulated under the brush cover.
