If your Henry Quick floor tool is clogged with dust or hair, a simple clean can make it look and perform like new again. In this guide, I’ll show you how to remove the brush bar, clean it safely, and refit everything without damaging the electrics inside.
What You’ll Need
-
Scissors (for cutting away hair)
-
Wet wipes or multi-purpose wipes
-
Paper towel or microfibre cloth
-
Optional: warm soapy water & toothbrush (for very dirty brush bars)
Step 1: Remove the Brush Bar
-
Press the release button to drop the end cap.
-
Pull the cap off.
-
The brush bar may slide out with it. If not, turn the tool over and pull the brush bar out separately.
Step 2: Clean the Brush Bar
-
If there’s hair wrapped around it, use scissors to cut along the bar while pulling hair away.
-
For light dirt, simply wipe the bar down.
-
For heavy dirt, soak in warm soapy water and scrub with a toothbrush. ⚠️ Leave to dry for 24 hours before refitting.
Step 3: Clean the Floor Tool Housing
⚠️ Important: The Henry Quick floor tool contains a motor and a circuit board. Do not spray water or cleaning chemicals directly onto it.
-
Use wet wipes or multi-purpose wipes to clean the plastic housing (inside and out).
-
Dry any moisture with paper towel or a microfibre cloth.
Step 4: Refit the Brush Bar
-
Insert the brush bar back into the housing (cog end first).
-
Push it into place.
-
Refit the end cap and slide it back until it clicks securely.
Your Henry Quick floor head is now clean and ready to use again.
