How to avoid static electricity when vacuuming mats

Materials used on carpets and mats, such as childcare centre mats or noise prevention mats between floors, can generate static electricity, and vacuuming on these surfaces may produce a form of static shock. Check our steps below to keep yourself informed about static electricity so you can avoid being shocked when using your Samsung vacuum cleaner:

The soft brush should be used on flat surfaces like wood, marble and non-carpet surfaces. The turbo brush is recommended for use on carpets.

If you want to use the soft brush on carpet, to reduce or eliminate the static, use it for a short time on non-carpet, then clean it by shaking off excess residue or wiping with a damp towel before using it on carpet.

Once the static has dissipated, you can move the vacuum back to the original surface to continue cleaning.

It can also help to use a water humidifier to maintain RH between 50~60% in the home. Dryer environments create higher potential for static buildup.
