How do I clean the vacuum cleaner with a standard dust bag?

Units with a traditional dust bag do not require frequent maintenance. In order for the technician to work properly, it is enough:

1. Regularly remove the garbage from the bag.
2. Periodically it is necessary to completely clean: wipe the casing, clean the hose, filters to avoid engine blockage, and also in order to prevent bacteria in the favorable warm environment of the appliance from spoiling our lives.

If you are using just such an assembly for cleaning, read the brief instructions for its maintenance provided by the manufacturer. Clean the vacuum cleaner and you can and according to the following scheme, proposed by our specialists.

Preparation of the device:

1. Clean the vacuum cleaner after disconnecting it from the mains.
2. Remove the hose.
3. Open the enclosure.
4. Remove all filters from the unit:
   • Dust bag bag.
   • Filter that protects the motor( located near the entrance to the engine compartment).
   • Final cleaning filter( at the outlet of the vacuum cleaner).
   • Additional filters( they are equipped with some models).

How to clean the vacuum cleaner filter:

1. Clean the dustbag chamber with a soft damp cloth. Especially carefully it is necessary to clean the vacuum cleaner in the corners of the chamber from the accumulation of dust.
2. Plug the vacuum cleaner into the mains and purge the engine compartment with a stream of air. Dust and dirt from the engine compartment will be removed more quickly, if during the purge you will tilt the unit from side to side. Also, as an option, you can adjust the power of the device, slightly covering and opening a hole for the hose.

Important! Purge the vacuum cleaner not in a residential building( entrance or on the street).In the engine compartment, the most powerful air vortex will blow out accumulated dust.

1. After purging, inspect the unit filters. If they are unusable or heavily soiled and worn, replace them with new ones.
2. Install the filters back into the vacuum cleaner. Filters must be necessarily dry, otherwise they will stop passing air and dust will adhere to them. Maybe even grow mold.

Features of cleaning different types of vacuum cleaners

If you decide to give preference to more advanced models of the vacuum cleaner, before you clean the vacuum cleaner, consider these recommendations.

Vacuum cleaner with dust collection container

Clean the container vacuum cleaner each time after cleaning. In some models, it is sufficient to extract and discard the debris accumulated in the interior of the plastic container, and then rinse the container with water.

Important! To clean the vacuum cleaner well, wash also the finer filter sponges and plates that are present in the system. This will help maximize the service life of the unit.

Vacuum cleaner with water filter

Innovative units - vacuum cleaners with aquafilter practically do not require care. The device of this type is produced by many world-famous companies. The principle of operation of this technique is that the intake air flows through the hose into a reservoir of water, large particles of dirt and dust settle in the water, and smaller ones are sent to the filter.

Important! The container in this type of vacuum cleaner is simply rinsed, and the filter is vacuumed or washed, then dried and replaced. So, if you gave preference to such a model, you not only made it much easier for yourself to clean up yourself, but also how to clean the vacuum cleaner.

Vacuum cleaner with separator

To date, separator vacuums are not produced by many companies, in particular, the company Pro-Aqua. Our compatriots choose products of this type, because these models harmoniously combine quality and cost:

1. Separator type vacuum cleaners practically do not need care, as in fact they do not have filters that need to be cleaned regularly and changed to new ones, so they do not have to be spentfor the purchase of components.
2. In addition, household units of this type in the course of their work not only eliminate pollution of any type, but also purify and humidify the air indoors.

Important! The operating principle of the vacuum cleaner with the separator is as follows: the intake air flows through the hose into the water tank, in which the working separator creates high pressure. Particles of dust and dirt in the cleaning process settle in the water, and to clean the vacuum cleaner, simply pour the water out of the container, after which the device is ready to work again.

Look after, love your faithful au pair so that for many, many years he was a faithful friend and ally in bringing order and cleanliness to the house without creating problems.
