How to Clean ChomChom Roller: Maintenance Guide

The ChomChom Roller is designed to be reusable and requires minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning keeps the brush system working effectively and extends the life of the roller.

Emptying the Chamber

The most frequent maintenance task is emptying the waste chamber.

Step 1: Open the Chamber

Press the release button or handle catch (location varies by model). The chamber will pop open, revealing the collected pet hair.

Step 2: Remove Hair

Pull out the clump of collected hair and discard it in the trash. Most of the hair comes out in one piece.

Step 3: Close the Chamber

Snap the chamber closed until you hear or feel it click into place.

How often: Empty the chamber when it is about 3/4 full. A full chamber reduces effectiveness.

Cleaning the Brush

The brush does not require frequent cleaning, but occasional maintenance improves performance.

When to Clean

• When you notice reduced hair pickup
• When hair is stuck in the brush bristles
• Every 2-3 months with regular use

How to Clean the Brush

Step 1: Open the chamber and remove any loose hair.

Step 2: Use your fingers or a dry cloth to pull out any hair tangled in the brush bristles. Do not use water or cleaning solutions on the brush.

Step 3: If hair is deeply embedded, use a comb or tweezers to gently remove it from the bristles.

Step 4: Close the chamber and test the roller on a small area to ensure it is working properly.

Cleaning the Exterior

The plastic exterior can be wiped down with a damp cloth if it gets dirty. Do not submerge the roller in water or use harsh chemicals.

Step 1: Wipe with Damp Cloth

Use a slightly damp cloth to wipe the exterior plastic surfaces. Remove any dust, dirt, or pet hair stuck to the outside.

Step 2: Dry Completely

Wipe dry with a clean towel. Make sure no water gets inside the chamber or brush mechanism.

What NOT to Do

• Do not wash the roller in water. The brush mechanism is not waterproof.
• Do not use cleaning sprays or chemicals. They can damage the plastic and brush.
• Do not put it in the dishwasher. Heat and water will damage the roller.
• Do not pull or bend the brush bristles. This can reduce effectiveness.

Troubleshooting

Roller not picking up hair: Empty the chamber, clean the brush, and make sure you are using short back-and-forth strokes.

Chamber won't close: Make sure all hair is removed from the edges and that nothing is blocking the latch.

Brush feels stiff: Remove any tangled hair from the bristles. The brush should move freely when you roll it.

How Long Does It Last?

With proper maintenance, the ChomChom Roller can last for years. The brush does not wear out quickly, and there are no parts to replace. Empty the chamber regularly and clean the brush as needed to keep it working effectively.
