Step-by-Step Cleaning Instructions

1. Unplug the Vacuum

For safety, always unplug the Rainbow vacuum from the power outlet before starting any cleaning or maintenance.

2. Remove the Brushroll

Locate the brushroll release mechanism on your Rainbow vacuum and press it to detach the brushroll. Carefully lift it out of the vacuum.

3. Brush Away Loose Debris

Using a soft-bristled brush or toothbrush, gently brush away any loose hair, dust, or debris from the brushroll. This will help loosen any stubborn dirt or grime.

4. Create a Cleaning Solution

Mix a small amount of mild dish soap with warm water in a bowl. The solution should be soapy but not overly sudsy.

5. Soak the Brushroll (Optional)

If the brushroll is heavily soiled, you can soak it in the cleaning solution for 10-15 minutes. This will help loosen any stubborn dirt or grime.

6. Scrub the Brushroll

Dip the soft-bristled brush or toothbrush into the cleaning solution and gently scrub the brushroll, paying attention to the bristles and any crevices. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or sponges, as they can damage the brushroll.

7. Rinse the Brushroll

Thoroughly rinse the brushroll with clean water to remove any soap residue. You can use a vacuum cleaner hose attachment with a gentle suction setting to speed up the rinsing process.

8. Dry the Brushroll

Allow the brushroll to air dry completely before reinstalling it into the vacuum. You can place it on a towel or use a hair dryer on a low heat setting.

Additional Cleaning Tips
