Why Is Your Dreame Vacuum Leaving Streaks on the Floor ?

A Dreame vacuum is designed to make cleaning simple, but sometimes you might notice it leaves streaks or marks on the floor. Let’s break down the most common causes and how to easily fix the issue.

Common Causes:

1. Dirty Wheels or Brushes

When wheels or brushes collect dust, hair, or grease, they can leave marks on floors—especially on light-colored or shiny surfaces.

2. Full or Dirty Dust Bin

An overfilled or improperly cleaned dust bin can leak debris, leaving trails or streaks behind.

3. Clogged Filter

A dirty filter reduces suction power, leaving dust behind that can later be dragged across the floor by the brush or wheels.

4. Worn or Damaged Brush

An old or deformed brush can scuff floors or leave black streaks.

How to Fix It:

  • Clean the wheels, main brush, and sensors weekly.

  • Always empty the dust bin after each cleaning session.

  • Clean or replace filters every 2 to 4 weeks.

  • Replace the brush as soon as it shows signs of wear or deformation.
