How To Clean Filters On Shark Anti Hair Wrap? DIY Methods

Using its Anti Hair Wrap Technology, Shark’s bristle brush-roll actively separates and removes hair while you clean. To keep hair from becoming tangled up in the brush roll, it has a special bristle guard and comb.

Applying these guidelines will allow you to get the most out of your anti hair wrap floorhead. Before doing any repairs, make sure to turn off your hoover.

Also, be sure to clean your cleaner often so it can effectively clean both hard floors and carpets. Maintaining your hoover includes emptying the dust canister on a regular basis, cleaning the filters and inspecting the floor head, wands and hoses for any signs of obstruction.

How Come The Brush-Roll Appears To Have Hair On It?

If you observe a few stray hairs circling the brush-roll while you’re cleaning hard floors in carpet or low pile mode, just keep going. The comb and suction will remove the hair wrap and send it to dust cup. When vacuuming, if you encounter any hard or pointy objects, or if you hear a change in noise, it’s important to check for obstructions or things stuck in the brush-roll.

How Do You Clean The Front Brush Roll That Is Soft?

A hoover with DuoClean and Anti Hair Wrap features two brush-rolls in the floorhead: one for softer trash pickup and one for harder floor dusting. This soft brush-roll may require regular cleaning with regular use.

How to remove the brush-roll differs from model to model, so be sure to consult your manual for specific instructions. To clean the brush-roll, tap off any loose dirt, wipe it down with a dry towel, and unclog the teeth that are behind it if any debris becomes stuck. If necessary, wash it by hand with water alone. Allow it to air dry for a minimum of 24 hours before re-insertion.

Why The Brush-Roll Indicator Light Is Red?

The motorised brush-rolls are operational and functioning properly if the vacuum’s brush-roll indicator light remains solid green when the vacuum is turned on. Turn off your hoover and clear the blockages if they are solid red; this indicates that there is an obstruction in the brush-roll and/or soft-roll area. The motorised floorhead is overheating if the LED is flashing red; to prevent it from overheating, switch off the vacuum and let it cool down.

Methods For Maintaining A Dust-Free Shark Vacuum:

Instead of sending dirt and dust flying through the air, a vacuum’s filter collects them from hard floors and carpets and puts them in a dust canister. Consistent cleaning of filters is essential to keep them from becoming clogged with fine dust and dirt particles that could otherwise reach the engine.

Filters are available in two varieties for Shark cordless vacuums. The pre-motor filter is the first one, and its location just before the motor is self-explanatory. This is made up of a single felt filter and one foam filter. Additionally, there is a plastic component known as the post-motor filter that is positioned between the filters and the dust canister.

Removing the dust canister from a Shark upright or cordless vacuum allows you to reach the felt and foam filters located at the top of the canister. Next, take off the post-motor filter, which is located in the main unit of your Shark cordless vacuum. To remove the filter, just hold it down and drag it downward.

Under the dust canister is where you’ll find the filter housing on Shark upright vacuums. To access the filter, turn the vacuum upside down and press the filter-release button to detach the housing. To get rid of it, pull the filter forward.

Both filter types are washable; simply remove them from the system, wash them in warm water, and let them dry naturally before replacing them. You should never use soap in the vacuum, as it might clog the filter. Also, remember to always return them to their original positions before turning on the vacuum. Otherwise, the suction won’t be strong enough to clean your floors.

Once a month for the pre-motor filter and once a year for the post-motor filter is Shark’s recommended cleaning interval. The hoover may need to be cleaned more often, though, if it gets a lot of use.

Cleaning And Emptying The Dust Container Of A Shark Vacuum:

Shark cordless and upright vacuums each have a lid-release button that makes emptying the dust canister a breeze. Just press the button, and the hinged cover will fall off, allowing you to dispose of the contents in the trash. To do this with cordless versions, you must first remove the wand. First, click the release button on top of the main unit to remove the dust canister from upright corded models.

You can clean the dust canister of your Shark cordless vacuum by rinsing it with warm water. Let it air dry for at least 24 hours after finishing by placing it on its side with the lid open.

Now that the dust canister is out, it’s a good idea to examine the vacuum’s hose, floor head, and wand for any obstructions. Turn off your hoover, whatever kind it is. The next step is to take the hose or wand off and look down at it; If you notice any debris, poke it out with a bamboo skewer before continuing.

An example of this is the Shark Anti Hair Wrap Cordless Stick Vacuum Cleaner with Reflexology, one of many Shark vacuums that include anti-tangle technology to prevent hair from getting tangled up in the floor head’s brush roller. A pair of tweezers can be used to delicately remove debris that has become trapped around the brush roller if your Shark model does not come with such technology.

If your hoover includes gentle brush rollers, you can clean them by hand in warm water if they get really dirty. Be careful to let the rollers air dry entirely before re-inserting them into the floor head; according to Shark, this should take about 24 hours.
