What is a turbo brush for a vacuum cleaner

With the advent of vacuum cleaners in modern homes, cleaning has become much easier and faster. Now, to help housewives who love rugs, carpets and all kinds of paths, manufacturers offer special devices for quick and high-quality cleaning.

What is a turbo brush for a vacuum cleaner?

The prefix “turbo” in the name indicates the rotational properties of the brush and its operating speed. The ancestor of modern vacuum cleaner devices can be considered a mechanical device for cleaning carpets, which was used by housewives in Soviet times.

The work is based on the rotation of a special round brush-brush, which lifts the carpet pile and combs out dust and wool from it. In mechanical devices, rotation occurred due to small wheels connected to a roller. When the brush was rolled across the floor, the wheels spun and the bristles on the roller rotated. Now this work is performed by a current of air or a special motor in the nozzle itself.

There are two types of turbo brushes:

• Mechanical. This brush rotates the roller due to the air flow when the vacuum cleaner is operating.
• Electric. This nozzle has its own motor for rotating the brush. Therefore, the efficiency of its operation does not depend on the power of the vacuum cleaner.The motor rotates the bristle roller at a constant speed, working equally well with both powerful vacuum cleaners and outdated low-power models.

IMPORTANT! The more powerful the engine, the more efficiently the roller works. The best option would be to equip the Cyclone series vacuum cleaners with it.

Today the choice of turbo brushes is huge. There are models for autonomous operation as independent cleaning equipment. These brushes have their own dust collection bags, containers or water filters.

Why do you need a turbo brush?

Cleaning the carpet from hair and pet fur is a troublesome process. Every owner of long-haired cats and dogs is familiar with the picture of a uniform felt layer on furniture and the floor during the molting period. Wool gets stuck in the pile of carpets, in furniture upholstery, and in cracks and joints. It is almost impossible to clean it completely with a regular vacuum cleaner. You have to take a brush, a basin, and products intended for washing carpets and clean the wool manually.

The turbo brush is specially designed for cleaning fluffy surfaces. The rotating bristles seem to comb out all the dirt from the carpet fibers.

IMPORTANT! There is no need to rush when working with this attachment. It should be carried over the surface slowly to remove as much hair and debris as possible. It is best to walk over heavily soiled areas several times to clean them completely.

Modern models of vacuum cleaners, as a rule, are already equipped with a turbo brush, but if the model is outdated, you can buy such an attachment separately.

When working with a turbo nozzle, the user receives:

1. Quick and thorough cleaning on different surfaces.
2. Saves effort on manual cleaning of carpets from wool.
3. Removing debris and dust even from hard-to-reach places - cracks between boards, tile seams, stair steps, etc.The whole secret is that you don’t need space to move the vacuum cleaner brush back and forth. The turbo brush rotates perfectly and cleans in one place.
4. Prevention of blockages in the tube or bag of the vacuum cleaner. The rotating roller in the nozzle collects large debris (hair, threads, animal fur) that could clog the intake holes.

Turbo brush care process

Like any other attachment, the turbo brush needs regular care and cleaning. If the device begins to perform its functions worse, then the rotating roller is probably clogged with hair, wool, threads and other debris.

How to clean the nozzle yourself:

1. You need to arm yourself with a screwdriver and sit on a flat surface - you can use a table covered with unnecessary rags or newspapers.
2. Remove the nozzle from the vacuum cleaner pipe and place it on the table.
3. Unscrew the fastening bolts that are located in special grooves and hold the two halves of the nozzle together.
4. Remove the top part and thoroughly clean it of dust. If the turbo brush is mechanical, then it can be rinsed in warm water with powder (if there is no prohibition in the instructions).
5. At the bottom of the nozzle, you need to remove the roller and clean it of hair, threads and other contaminants wrapped around it or stuck in the bristles.
6. Carefully place the roller in place, connect the clean, dry halves and secure with bolts.

ATTENTION! Before disassembling anything, you need to find the instructions for the nozzle model and read it carefully. Otherwise, you will most likely have to go get a new turbo brush. In addition to bolts, many models also have special locks for secure fixation. If you try to open them by force, you can break the plastic.

Regular maintenance of your turbobrush increases its efficiency and speeds up cleaning your home. It is also worth visually checking the degree of contamination of the nozzle after each use.

How to choose a turbo brush

If the vacuum cleaner does not come with a turbo attachment, it can be purchased at hardware stores or ordered online. What parameters you need to pay attention to:

1. Hole diameter. The turbo brush should fit tightly onto the vacuum cleaner tube and not slip off during operation.
2. Manufacturer. Today, turbochargers are produced by both domestic and foreign manufacturers. It is best if the brand of the brush and the brand of the vacuum cleaner are the same.
3. Kind of work. For low-power vacuum cleaners, attachments with their own motor are better suited.
4. Material. Most turbo brushes are made of durable plastic.
5. Availability of guarantee. When purchasing a nozzle in a store, ask for a warranty card for the product.

Purchasing a turbo brush will help restore order and cleanliness in the house, saving time and effort for housewives.
