• If there are signs of damage to the brush roll itself (e.g., broken or missing bristles), replacing it is the best solution.

7. Does this brush roll work on hard floors or just carpets?

• The brush roll is primarily designed for use on carpets. However, it may also be effective on hard floors when used in certain Oreck vacuum models that allow for brush roll adjustments (e.g., turning the brush roll off for hard floor use).
