How to Replace the Brush for My Bissell Deep Cleaner

Bissell deep carpet cleaners offer several features, including a heater to warm up the water and cleaning solution, hose and attachments for use on upholstery and stairs, a 12-amp motor, 25-foot-long cord, and a set of cleaning brushes. If the brushes on the Bissell become damaged or stop working, it may be necessary to remove the brush from the unit and replace it. Replacement brushes are available through Bissell. Always turn off and unplug the unit before performing any maintenance tasks.
