Einleitung

If your iRobot Roomba 4100 does not clean as effectively as when it was new, the brush underneath the machine may be clogged.

This guide will take you through the steps to remove, clean, and re-assemble key components of your iRobot Roomba 4100 in order to unclog the brushes with detailed steps and visual representation.

There are no tools needed for this project.

Roomba’s brushes need to be cleaned regularly, especially if the space it is cleaning is shared with furry animals.
