MULTIPURPOSE NOZZLE (D) The multipurpose nozzle is recommended for cleaning upholstery surfaces such as the joints of sofas, armchairs, mattresses, car upholstery, etc. TURBO BRUSH (E) (mod. AS500) The turbo brush uses a turbine system which operates on suction power only, without electricity. The turbo brush increases the effectiveness and efficiency of suction on soft furnishings such as carpets and fitted carpeting since it combines suction with a mechanical action to remove dust and dirt (organic and inorganic) and fibres (hair, etc. ). By using the turbo-brush on carpets you can refresh the fibres thanks to the action of the roller, which separates them so that the cleaner can reach right down into the carpets.
