is there an easier way to take the fur out of the bristles besides using your fingers/hands?

I just pull it right out. You can wear dishwashing gloves if you don't want your hands to touch the fur, but it slides out in a second.

I suppose you could use another brush or a comb, but removing it by hand seems the easiest method to me.

I've either use my hands or run water over it when I've had that problem. It just hasn't been much of a problem for me...yet!

Just pull it out. Make sure that u removed all tapes that the brush might have been secured with.

The best way I found is with a vacuum that has a hose attachment and use the soft brush attachment and that should do a pretty good job.

hi. I found a great solutions for "unwinding" hair (people and dogs) around the brush and around the wheels of the vaccuum. Go and get a sewing product called a "seam ripper". The concept is almost like a letter opener. Inexpensive. Better than unwinding the hair by hand or with a scissor. Let me know how you do with it.

Just pull the fur off with your fingers and put in the trash (or compost pile). If you need to, rinse it out with soap and water. Very low tech and works wonders.

If I can't pull it out with my fingers (be careful, very sharp) I take a brush and use.

Yes, you can remove the brush. You need to use something in the shape of a quarter, and loosenthe end that holds the brush. It does take a little energy to loosen though. I also use a small pair of scissors to cut through the long hairs, and then remove with my hands. I also have a little tool that can take the lint and other items out, kind of like a comb. Then you put the brush back into the holder and tighten. Remember to look in the bottom of the sweeper to be sure that nothing is lodged inside, which will prevent the machine from working, when this happens. I do not have any pets, so I hope this helps.

Its really easy, just use a hairdryer strong tooth Floss which will take a while. You can also use pliers

Yes, it's tricky. I tried a toothbrush with little success. Then I found at the drugstore a small, rather stiff brush similar to a fingernail brush, and this did the trick. We have three of the Brotform bowls to clean at the same time, so easy cleaning is a priority. I hope you enjoy yours as much as we have ours.

the best way to clean it is maybe a lent brush if you have animals or a shampooer with attachments.

Yes, interestingly, the easiest way seems to be using warm/hot warm with dishwasher powder because it seems you may not even need to do any scrubbing at all. It seems to just take it all right off in most cases. If it doesn't get all of it out, a non-abrasive sponge tends to get the rest out for me. I haven't even had to leave it overnight or anything. It's a 2-5 min process for me.

I have not changed any of the bristles on my brush but I don't think it should be that hard at all I've done it with other brushes before it is a very simple task. I do like the brush I'm very happy with it, is very easy to clean. Definitely a good purchase.

The attachment the brush is in can be removed, but I can't find a way to remove the brush itself.

I too have no trouble just cleaning the bristles by hand. The bristles are so short it really shouldn't be a problem, then wash after.

I just run my hands over the bristles quickly and lightly or use a vacuum hose. Don't wash it. You don't want the ends of the bristles to tangle or knot.

I tried to remove the grill of my small three-speed fan. There are two screws that can only be turned with a special screwdriver (9 or 10 dollars) I have cat hair stuck to the oiled parts of the motor. I will give the pressurized water method of cleaning a try. Trying to pluck it out with long craft tweezers hasn't worked for me.

Yes, there is a magnet underneath that can easily be taken out and shavings brushed off.Hope that helps.Chico0414
