Here’s a step-by-step guide to freshening up the bin and removing dried dirt.. 1.
Allow the hose to completely dry..Step 4: Clean the Dust Canister or Replace the Bag.
The dust bin of bagless vacuum cleaners often becomes coated with dust and grime.It’s important to clean it to prevent bad odours or bacterial growth.. To clean the canister, fully detach it from the vacuum, empty it, then use a dry microfibre cloth to remove any loose dirt.Wash the canister in water with washing up liquid, before thoroughly rinsing it with cold water.. As always, make sure the bin is completely dry before you reattach it!.
This step is much easier if you have a bagged vacuum, as you’ll just need to replace the old bag with a new one.It’s still a good idea to wipe down the compartment holding the bag though..
Never use a bagged vacuum without a bag, unless the manual says this is fine.
The bag acts as the primary filter in a bagged vacuum.Slide Out The Filter.
With the dust cup open, use the tab pictured above to slide the filter housing forward.You should then be able to remove the housing from the vacuum.. Once the housing has been removed, use the metal handle to pull out the filter.. As you can see from the image above, the HEPA filter should now be completely removed from both the filter housing and the vacuum.. 3.
Tap Off Dirt and Debris.If the filter only has a light covering of dirt and dust, you may be able to clean it by tapping it over a bin.. We recommend tapping off the filter into an outdoor bin to avoid dust and other allergens escaping into the home.
