Does anyone have an easy solution to cleaning the 2 brushes on the Sebo Duo? as they tend to get clogged up mainly from wool carpet fibres.

[Paul Simpson]

Use the vacuum hose from your extractor at the end of the job to suck away the fluff/crud, with a wire brush if necessary to loose the fluff.

[CraigHaycock]

done that one already still doesnt get enough out for when you have nice white carpets to clean, I have thought about getting a flame torch to burn of once dried.

I attach my extension cable from my Sebo BS36 and take 10 mins to clean all the crud out.
a pain, but it needs to be done.

Lie it down over a dustbin, turn it on and use an old fork in the bristles - it comes oiut in clumps and is a very satisfying way to do it. Dont worry about damaging the bristles.

we did a black top in a pub recently and the roller on our bs46 was THICK with greasy black top on the end of every bristle - had to soak and then steam pressure wash the roller - always glass etc in pub carpets but have to say prob miss out the vaccing next time it was like pushing through honey trying to vac that

As suggested, we just use a fork and turn the rollers with your hand 

But that's a job for the junior after every job 

[CraigHaycock]

anyone tried burning the wool off once dried?

[Phil @ Extreme Clean]

Burn off are you for real and melt the brushes just turn on and collect with a fork easy.

[CraigHaycock]

just a thought, as wool and hair singe and does not burn on, therefore small bursts of flames would not harm the brushes, but should cause the fibres to disintegrate.

Yes sometimes going to a light carpet the sebo can leave some marks starting off, mostly just loose fibers, nothing that won't come up as you clean.  After a pub/restaurant if they are bad, greasy, i'll take them out and soak and scrub them and clear any build up around the spindle.

I get a Polish guy to do mine. He does a fantastic job and they are like new when he has finshed. Only charges a pound. Hoping to knock him down a bit though when the Romanians arrive.

Jim Neal might be along soon I know he oves this question.

[CraigHaycock]

Thanks, fork has worked well.

[pro-fresh]

I used to turn it upside down, turn the machine on and use a big screw driver to go along the brush as if you were using a chisel on a wood lathe.

[jim mca]

I do the same as pro fresh but with a wire brush don't use it much as its a pain
