At the moment I manually turn the brushes and pull out all the debris by hand, but still on the next clean wet fluff ends up on the carpet 

I was thinking of standing it in a centimetre of hot water and running it - see if I could 'flush it out' a bit.

Just wondered what everyone else does?

i remove the brushes and use a wire dog grooming brush to extract as much of the fibres as possible i also sometimes run it on the pavement after i have put it back together provided it is dry and the brushes also dry and this does also remove a lot of the loose fibres left on the brushes but find you still get some fibres that will be left on the carpet on the next job

Don't run it in water, at best you'll knack the bearings, at worst you blow yourself up. Think you were only joking.

Use an old long pronged fork.

I did do a search but it turned up so many unrelated Sebo Duo posts that I asked the question. I hope this didn't waste too much of your valuable time.

(turn it over and use your extraction machine )

[Colin Day]

Jim's right... Turn it over and while it's running, and extract the fluff that way with your machine...

Old fork,jammed gently into the brushes while it's running,same principle as a lathe.Then towel with it running to clean them

Its ok vacuuming the debris out every now and again but once a week take the brushes out and clean and santise them.

We just steam them and around the holding unit.

I just use a wire brush on them whilst running the machine . I do this at the end of every day

... or if you're a LM only cleaner, just run a bonnet over it - works just as well after all

The brushes on my Host reliant get absolutely filthy after a while.  I have to clean them because if i dont and i use it to agitate on a white carpet i get lots of little black water marks on it, luckily the brushes on the Host  reliant do not have any moving parts that can be damaged by water, at least i cant see any, so i give them a soak in a bucket with detergent in and they come up like new, dont know how i would manage if i could not remove the dirt that builds up at the base of the brushes.

I clean  mine after i have used it the same way as jim posted and thats use the vac hose on it and try and rotate the brushes as i vac it..

[wynne jones]

I used the fork idea like Mark said, but now I have a rotary.
