    Electrolux Canada Floor Polisher 2101 - How to Lubricate ?

    After about an hour it started to slow down so I shut it off -- couldn't turn the brushes by hand. I disassembled and repacked the three capped reservoirs with 3-in-1. The spiral/helical drive gear from the motor looked real rusty so I shot it with WD40. Reassembled and tried it. It seems...

    Electrolux 2101 Polisher - Info?

    A brush fits into the socket 4 different ways. Try turning it 1/4 turn and see if it sticks in better, or rearrange the 3 brushes. You might want to clean up the top of the brushes where the connectors are, and spray a light coat of clear plastidip over the connectors to build them back up.

    Paste Wax Application to Linoleum

    Applying paste wax on hands and knees is a tough job. I hate it. I saw these snap-on wax pads that Singer once made (see photos) to have their polishing machine apply paste wax. Just spoon paste wax into these pads, zip them up, snap them on and it's supposed to magically, evenly apply wax to...

    Wierd vintage Hoover turbo brush? Any history

    I believe that is a clothes brush for removing lint and fuzz. Sorry, don't know even what decade it's from, but the brush style looks like a clothes brush.

    Electrolux Turbotool Rug Washer & Floor Polisher Manual

    Thanks for posting the bit about the floor polisher. It talks about liquid wax and I only have paste wax. However, I found another member's post of a manual for the original turbotool (the metal one) here on vacuumland. It suggests placing dime-sized dots of wax a foot apart and then using...

    I have both the tan stiff floor brush and ring, and the black nylon bristle rug brush for my 1965 (?) Electrolux Turbotool but I don't have the manual. I found one for the rug washer but it doesn't have any instructions for the floor polishing part. I've found a couple of pictures on the...
