Feather Roller Care
Ostrich feathers contain millions of tiny hairs on each of their threads. These hairs are what
grabs on to the dirt and removes it from the surface. The feather hairs can be lost through
wear, sharp edges and aging. The roller is no longer effective and should be replaced when
no more hairs can be seen at the feathers tips.
CAUTION!
When replacing feather roller, care must be taken to ensure that the feathers are not damaged
or contaminated.
