							Using the Powerbrush
The Powerbrush is particularly suitable
for cleaning and restoring crushed
carpet pile of wall to wall carpeting and
floor coverings subject to hard wear,
especially in high traffic areas.
The Powerbrush can also be used on
smooth floor surfaces.

parquet floorbrush should be used to
clean delicate hard flooring and floor
surfaces susceptible to scratching.
Do not use the powerbrush on:
– Floors with a variable or uneven surface. The brush could come into
contact with the floor and cause
damage.
– High quality, hand knotted rugs, for example Berber or Persian rugs, as
well as extremely long piled area

of the threads being pulled out. Turn
the Powerbrush off to vacuum these
types of floor coverings and use only
