Vacuum Cleaner Maintenance

The maintenance of the components of the vacuum cleaner is essential to prolong the life and efficiency of the device.

Disassembling and cleaning must be done without tension.

Each of vacuum cleaner parts is particular. The device manual can tell you exactly what to do.

Vacuum maintenance

The filters must be regularly maintained. Indeed, if too much dust is retained in the filter, it may clog and the performance of the device will feel.

The maintenance of vacuum filters with bag :

Sack vacuum cleaners contain a motor filter that prevents dust particles from reaching and damaging it.

This filter is not washable and must be changed every five bags.

Maintenance of bagless vacuum filters:

The air outlet filter must be serviced at least once a year.

Washable filters disassemble and wash with warm water and dry in the open air.

Non-washable filters must be replaced.

The motor filter is rarely replaced, at least once a year.

The dustbin filter should be cleaned when it is visibly dirty.

Namely: some devices are equipped with an automatic filter cleaning system. Before handling the filters, refer to the instructions for use. Washable HEPA filters are blue, non-washable HEPA filters are green.

Maintenance of vacuum bags

To maintain dust bags, simply change them or wash (if possible) regularly:

It is advisable to wash or change your bag to three-quarters full to maintain a constant power output.

Some compatible bags and universal bags can be reused. To avoid being invaded by a cloud of dust at the time of emptying, it is best to perform this operation on a balcony or garden.

Some vacuums are equipped with a filter fill indicator. This light is used to avoid opening the tank of the device unnecessarily and let particles of dust escape into the atmosphere.

Namely: a dust bag is never replaced by a plastic bag. Using a non-compatible bag can cause severe engine damage.

Maintenance of the dust collector filter of the vacuum cleaner

In a bagless vacuum cleaner, the dust collector filter should be emptied and cleaned every six months. It is important to completely empty the collector and take care to pour the dust in the trash bin. Allergy sufferers, in particular, are exposed during this operation.

Namely: the cyclone dust collector can be dismantled very easily, refer to the instructions of the vacuum cleaner.

Maintenance of the hose, brushes, and tube

The vacuum cleaner parts must be cleaned regularly to avoid any risk of clogging. Before cleaning the hose, brushes, tips, and tubing, remove the components from the power supply.

For component cleaning, refer to the manual of your device.
