Question:

Are rotating brushes bad for hardwood floors?

I read some where that vacuum cleaners with a rotating brush can scratch hardwood floor. Is this true?

Answer:

kindof
yes....yes it is!!! that is why you use a dust mop on hardwood floors for cleaning!!!
there is a chance but vacume cleaner brusher are usally soft. i would opt for a swifty from johnson johnson.
the rotating brush wont scratch the floor, as in gouges, but the finish that protects the wood will eventually dull because of the slight abrasion of the brush.
