How to Fix Brushes on a Hoover SteamVac

The Hoover SteamVac is a two-tank carpet cleaning system; it keeps clean and dirty water separate and includes a built-in measuring cup for the cleaning solution. The power switch is located on the base to allow for easy operation with the touch of a foot, and the cleaner has a row of cleaning brushes to pull up dirt and debris and clean the carpet fibers. If the brushes stop working, you may be able to fix the brushes by conducting some troubleshooting steps.
