🧹 How to Use the SEBO Canister Floor Brush

A practical guide to getting the best performance from SEBO’s dual‑bristle hard‑floor tool

The standard SEBO canister floor brush is one of the most underrated tools SEBO makes — simple at first glance, but brilliantly engineered. With two rows of soft bristles and wheels at both ends, it’s designed to dust hard floors gently while also giving you the ability to pick up larger debris by pivoting the tool.

This guide walks you through how the brush works, when to use each mode, and how to get the best results on your floors.

This image gives a clear look at the overall design: the dual bristle rows, the wide cleaning path, and the wheel placement that makes the tool glide smoothly across hard floors.

🧽 What Makes This Floor Brush Special

1. Dual Rows of Soft Bristles

• Front row: Loosens and sweeps fine dust.
• Back row: Captures remaining particles and polishes the floor on the pull stroke.
• Safe for hardwood, tile, laminate, vinyl, and stone.

2. Pivoting Wheel Design

The wheels on both ends allow you to tilt the tool so you can raise or lower the front bristle row depending on what you’re cleaning.

3. Wide Cleaning Path

Covers more floor in fewer passes — ideal for kitchens, hallways, and open living spaces.

🧹 Everyday Dusting Mode

Use both rows of bristles on the floor.

This is the default position and perfect for:

• Dust
• Fine dirt
• Sand
• Everyday debris

How to Use It

• Keep the tool flat on the floor.
• Push forward to loosen dust with the front bristles.
• Pull back to collect everything with the rear bristles.
• The wheels help the tool glide smoothly without scratching.

🐾 Large Debris Mode

Tilt the tool back slightly so the front bristles lift off the floor.

This creates a small opening that allows larger debris to enter the suction path.

Perfect for:

• Pet hair tumbleweeds
• Cat litter
• Kibble
• Dry leaves
• Larger crumbs

How to Use It

• Gently pivot the tool back onto the rear wheels.
• The front bristles lift up, creating a gap.
• Move forward slowly to let debris enter the suction channel.
• Return to flat mode for final dusting.

🧼 Tips for Best Performance

• Use slow, controlled strokes when picking up larger debris.
• Clean the bristles regularly — hair and threads can wrap around them.
• Check the wheels for buildup that might affect smooth movement.
• Pair with SEBO’s parquet tool if you want even softer bristles for ultra‑delicate floors.

✔️ Final Thoughts

The SEBO canister floor brush is a perfect example of SEBO’s thoughtful engineering — simple, durable, and incredibly effective. Once you get used to switching between dusting mode and large debris mode, it becomes one of the most efficient hard‑floor tools you’ll ever use.
