For routine cleaning, use just the plain vacuum nozzle.
This is especially important for fringes; try not to run an upright vacuum or a power brush attachment over fringes.
- The brush shreds the fringes and causes rapid wear.
- Frequently fringes get caught and chewed up by the rotating mechanism of the brush.
- Vacuuming in the direction of the pile will help to prevent additional dirt and dust from settling farther into the pile.
- Vacuuming against the direction of the pile or sideways will brush and lift the pile.
