The Neato doesn't have brushes like many of the other brands. It has a simple beater bar and suction that it uses to clean. Ours cleans up pet hair on hardwood, carpet, and tile with no issues. All we do is empty the dust bin and brush off the filter when needed.

I have had the same problem no matter what type of brush I used, I swish mine in a little bleach, once in a while, keeps it clean through and through and stays in top condition. Just rinse it well.

Hi Mandy,We recommend rinsing the bristles with hot water to get any clumped up grease off. This should get your entire brush clean within just a few short minutes.Thanks,Michael "Medium Rare" O'Donnell

Hi! Is it all the brushes or just the large brush? My fan brush shedded a lot but I didn't have issues with any of the others. With the large brushes you can literally brush them with a hair brush to free the loose bristles and then shake them firmly a few times. If its ALL the brushes, you might have gotten a bad batch. I would suggest contacting Amazon or Shany to see about a replacement set or refund. Hope this helped!

I use facial cleanser with the brush. Also as you're using the brush manually move the brush in circles to get a deeper clean.

Well, I don't have these exact brushes but I'll tell you how I clean mine:1) remove all the paint with nail polish remover on a cotton ball2) rinse the brush under water (doing this makes it all soft; if you don't do this it'll dry stiff from the nail polish remover)

The best way to clean them is vacuuming them with a vacuum. When you can no longer get them somewhat clean it is time for a new one. The cleaner they are the more suction the vacuum will have.

I would ask the manufacturer about replacement brushes. I emailed with him about the brush when I bought it and found him very helpful.

Happy New Year. I've never had to buy any replacement brushes yet since Pretika has sent me replacement units with new brushes, so I have replacement brushes from the old units still. But I did look online and they seem to be available everywhere--online and brick and mortar stores ie. Bed Bath & Beyond. BTW, I received my free replacement charger today. Gotta love this company!

Hi Scott. I have done both methods. For these Brushes, I would use a regular mild soap with water. Dont waist your money on certain cleansers, the brushes arent that good of a quality to do that. Just make sure after you clean the brushes pinch the tip of them and lay them on a flat surface or they will fuzz up and become useless.

Thanks for tip! I will try that next time I clean it. I try to clean once a week but not alway faithful to that schedule, but I will try harder in the future.

I have searched the internet and found that replacement brushes are expensive. You might as well by a whole new tooth brush. It is cheaper than replacing the brushes.

You cannot remove the brushes, you can remove the cover and it exposes the brushes so you can clean them fairly well. I take off the clear plastic cover and clean it, you can wash it in warm water and dish detergent but be sure to dry it well before you put it back on. I use a microfiber cloth to clean the brushes and it comes with a little tool that cuts off anything that might have wound around the brushes. It does pick up pet hair well, I use it to pick up my cat's hair and he sheds LOTS of it. Hope this helps.

I haven't and I've had mine a year now. I cleanse the brushes with a brush spray after every use and deep clean mine twice a month with baby shampoo. Beware tho...all brushes will lose bristles if u saturate glue area. I never wet more than the bristles and air dry laying flat so no water gets into the glued area. Hope this helps

I have to press the reset button too. I also clean the brissels of the brushes. I found that this helps me not have to reset it as often. I still haven't figured out how to use the attached brush.

The manufacturer did not recommend how to clean. I used a home made brush cleaner I use from online. If you'd like to know more about the one I use go to www.bubblebabez.com

I actually bought the travel size cleaner tool. I matched the numbers for refill brushes, with the numbers on the card to order replacement brushe, that was inside the box when I bought it at BED,BATH & BEYOND, to the numbers that were listed under the brushes on Amazon and my matched.
