1. Turn off the vacuum and unplug it from the socket

Before you touch any internal part of the vacuum you need to always make sure you’re not operating on it while it’s on, or even charging.

Therefore, the first step should be to turn the vacuum off and it’s not charging its batteries.

First, remove the cover using a screwdriver and unscrewing the multiple screws you can find on your model, then use a pair of scissors to cut through the hair/debris piling there, but make sure you’re cutting through the groove to not damage the brush roll. Then, check the tube for more dirt or debris before reinstalling the cover, putting the screws back on, and get your vacuum going.

Shark rocket pro cordless vacuums are blessed with a user-friendly design that allows you to clean the brush roll easier than other models, in less than 5 minutes tops.

This is how every step should be carried out

1. Remove the vacuum head’s cover

It goes without saying that you should attend to the shark rocket pro cordless vacuum brush roll when it’s not ON or connected to any kind of electricity.

Then, remove the vacuum head’s cover, as we explained in depth in this guide.

2. Cut through the accumulating debris

Hair and debris are found in plenty inside the brush roll, therefore, you’ll need to remove whatever you can by hand, then use a pair of scissors to cut through the tangled parts with caution.

The larger the piling debris, the more you’ll need to cut through it with force.

3. Check the tube for more dirt or debris

If you haven’t maintained your vacuum in a long time, you’ll find dirt or debris stuck inside the tube connecting the head to the rest of the vacuum.

Using your finger while wearing gloves, check the tube if there’s dirt in there, and remove it accordingly afterward.

4. Clean the cover if needed

If you’ve noticed that the cover is pretty dirty, run some hot water over it while you’re at it, then leave it to dry for a couple of hours.

Some would advise using a clean cloth to dry it faster, but always take your time with drying, unless you’re in a huge rush.

5. Reinstall everything back

Since you’ve only removed the head cover, reinstall it properly, then use the screwdriver to put the screws back in their respective place until you hear a clicking sound.

Make sure to install everything back after you’ve fully dried the head’s cover.
