It seemed like my Dyson DC24 was ripping the nap out of the carpet, so I tried an experiment. I got another brush roll and took out the plastic bristles and rebristled it with horsehair. I'm no longer getting huge wads of fuzz from my oriental rugs. It's no longer ripping the nap out, also the motor in the nozzle sounds like it's under less strain.
The brush roll with the red bristles is the original The brush roll with the black and chestnut bristles is the horsehair

Is horsehair stiff enough to effectively clean thicker/wall to wall carpets? I could see on more delicate materials, but not as much on modern day carpets. But perhaps the shortness of the horsehair bristles still do the job compared to the nylon ones. |
