Can you remove the clear plastic part on the bottom (where water is pulled in) to clean if the plastic part gets clogged or accumulates pet hair?

Yes you can. Every part that would or could get debris/dirt in it can be removed for cleaning. A very well thought out engineered design.

Push the large button on the outer rim and slide the 'tray' out and empty it. Then, 'flip' the yellow tabs on either side of the brush section. The framework lifts up, which allows both the filter and brush to be removed. When you clean the brush, don't forget to check the 'ends' for hair/fur that has gotten wrapped around them. The 'filter' can be cleaned by 'tapping' it against a trash can. Hope this helps!

Goo Gone works well and should not harm the plastic. Sometimes, scrubbing with a Scotch Brite sponge, dish soap, and hot water will remove it.

Can one remove the clear plastic piece that is over the blue "stem" part? Thanks :)

Yes, you can remove the brush. You need to use something in the shape of a quarter, and loosen the end that holds the brush. It does take a little energy to loosen though. I also use a small pair of scissors to cut through the long hairs, and then remove with my hands. I also have a little tool that can take the lint and other items out, kind of like a comb. Then you put the brush back into the holder and tighten. Remember to look in the bottom of the sweeper to be sure that nothing is lodged inside, which will prevent the machine from working, when this happens. I do not have any pets, so I hope this helps.

The hose to the pump could be clogged. If you have pets it could be their hair. Detach the hose, get a tweezer And clear what you can reach. Blow in the hosed, sometimes sediment gets in there too. Also clear the pump opening. clean with white vinegar & water. good luck!

I am not sure what part you wish to clean. It sounds like the smooth rollers. If you don't want to put it under the water tap, I suggest you open to the widest setting hold a wet sponge against the rollers and roll backwards. If you roll forward the sponge gets caught in the rollers. You can do the same with the cutters.

You probably could after removing metal filter. Make sure there are no metal screws in lid or handle

No. It's not really a clear plastic. It's more like a soft plastic. But it can still be cleaned if need be.

Yes, we have a lab that is in the pool all the time and the basket often has hair in it. The mesh is pretty fine, so you'll have to empty out the dog hair pretty often.

I thought about it but, you'll have to clean out the filter after you vacuum because it will be fill with hairs and it's kinda hard to get the hair off the foam filter because it sticks to it even if the direction tells you to wash it but it's no problem.

You will need to remove the nozzle section of the vacuum by pressing a button that is on the side. Once that you get the nozzle separated, then you can remove the plastic filter. I have had to clean mine a few times and there are times that dirt get stuck in the little holes, you will need to use a small screwdriver, or a small stick to get the dirt out.

Yes, that is exactly what I have done with mine, although it will clog-up from time to time with small debris.

By plastic part do you mean the straw? If so then yes the bottom of the straw that sits in the water can be removed and then put in when drinking. I have always left it in so that the straw was sitting in a bag or somewhere and get germs before it was put into the water and drank from. It should work either way. Hope that helps!

Yes you can just remove the little filter that's at the base of the feeder, it was getting clogged. Other than that it worked like a charm for plasti dip :)

I haven't tried it, since it cleans up easily. However, I also have the dish drainer which has parts made of the same type of plastic. I have washed those in the dishwasher with excellent results.
