With the advent of vacuum cleaners in modern homes, cleaning has become much easier and faster. Now, to help housewives - lovers of rugs, carpets and all kinds of paths, manufacturers offer special appliances 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 speed. The ancestor of modern devices for a vacuum cleaner 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 raises the carpet pile and combes dust and wool from it. In mechanical devices, rotation was due to small wheels connected to the roller. When the brush rolled on the floor, the wheels spun and the bristles on the roll rotated. Now this work is performed by an air current or a special motor in the nozzle itself.
There are two types of turbo brushes:
- Mechanical Such a brush rotates the roller due to air flow during the operation of the vacuum cleaner.
- Electric. This nozzle has its own motor for rotating the brush. Therefore, its effectiveness does not depend on the power of the vacuum cleaner. The engine rotates the roller with bristles at a constant speed, working equally with powerful vacuum cleaners and outdated low-power models.
IMPORTANT! The more powerful the engine, the more efficient the roller is. 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 battery life as an independent cleaning equipment. Such brushes have their own dust bags, containers or aqua filters.
What is a turbo brush for?
To clean the carpet from the hair and coat of pets is a troublesome process. Every mistress of long-haired cats and dogs is familiar with the picture of a uniform felt layer on furniture and floor during molting. The wool gets stuck in the pile of carpets, in the upholstery of furniture, clogs in crevices and joints. It is almost impossible to clean it completely with an ordinary vacuum cleaner. You have to take a brush, a basin, tools designed for washing carpets and clean the wool by hand.
Turbo brush specially designed for cleaning fleecy surfaces. The rotating bristles, as it were, comb out the entire litter from the fibers of the carpets.
IMPORTANT! When working with this nozzle, there is no need to rush. It should be carried out slowly on the surface in order to remove wool and debris as much as possible. It is best to go through heavily contaminated 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 a nozzle separately.
When working with a turbo nozzle, the user receives:
- Fast and thorough cleaning on different surfaces.
- Save energy on manual cleaning of carpets from wool.
- Removing litter and dust even from hard-to-reach places - cracks between the boards, tile seams, stairs, etc. The whole secret is that you do not need a place to drive back and forth with a vacuum cleaner brush. Turbo brush rotates perfectly and cleans in one place.
- Prevention of blockages in the tube or bag of the vacuum cleaner. The spinning roller in the nozzle collects large debris (hair, threads, animal hair) that could clog the retracting holes.
Turbo brush care process
Like any other nozzle, the turbo brush needs regular maintenance and cleaning. If the device became worse performing its functions, then, probably, the rotating roller clogged with hair, wool, thread and other debris.
How to clean the nozzle yourself:
- 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.
- Remove the nozzle from the pipe of the vacuum cleaner and put it on the table.
- Unscrew the fixing bolts that are in the special grooves and hold together the two halves of the nozzle.
- Remove the upper part and thoroughly clean it from 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).
- In the lower part of the nozzle, it is necessary to remove the roller and clean it of hair, threads and other impurities wound around it or stuck in the bristles.
- Carefully put the roller in place, connect the clean, dry halves and fix with bolts.
ATTENTION! Before disassembling anything, you must find the instructions for the nozzle model and carefully read it. Otherwise, most likely, you have to go for a new turbo brush. In addition to bolts, many models also have special locks for reliable fixing. When you try to force open, they can break the plastic.
Regular maintenance of the turbo brush increases its efficiency and speeds up house cleaning. It is also worth visually checking the degree of contamination of the nozzle after each use.
How to choose a turbo brush
If there is no turbo nozzle in the vacuum cleaner kit, then it can be purchased at household appliance stores or ordered online. What parameters should I pay attention to:
- Hole diameter. The turbo brush must fit tightly onto the tube of the vacuum cleaner and not slip off during operation.
- Manufacturer. Today, turbo nozzles are produced by both domestic and foreign manufacturers. It is best if the brush brand and the brand of the vacuum cleaner are the same.
- Type of work. For low-power vacuum cleaners, nozzles with their engine are better suited.
