maximum fill line<\/strong>\u00a0for the bin, but it’s best not to let dirt or debris get close to this line in the first place.<\/p>\nIf it does start to get full, you’ll notice that the vacuum’s suction power might have reduced. In fact, if you notice that the vacuum has become blocked, first switch it off and unplug it at the electrical socket. You can then tease any blockages in the vacuum tube using tweezers or a small, thin stick. Undo the hose and examine the entrance to the vacuum to inspect for further debris or dust that could be clogged inside.<\/p>\n
Sometimes, you might not be able to reach or see in the hose, even when using tools. For these occasions, we recommend using a\u00a0compressed air can<\/strong>. These are typically used to clean parts of a computer that you can’t access but still require a clean. You can use a can of compressed air to reach those nooks and crannies that are a little more tricky to clean.<\/p>\nPro-Tip<\/em>: Make sure the hose is dry before you begin this process.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\nCleaning the Filters<\/h3>\n
To clean your machine, you’ll need to remove the filter and wash it with warm soapy water. Begin by removing the filter from the vacuum, and tap it against a hard surface to remove any stubborn dust and debris that might be clinging to the filter. You don’t need cloth during this step.<\/p>\n
Fortunately, many vacuum cleaner filters are washable, so you can easily clean the filter and remove dust using just warm water. Check the manual for tips on how to clean the filter before diving straight in. But, in most cases, you’ll need to soak the filter in\u00a0warm water<\/strong>\u00a0and then leave it to air dry before you place it back into the vacuum.<\/p>\nBrush Heads Look Worn<\/h3>\n
Regularly using your vacuum cleaner is bound to lead to worn brush heads that are filled with hair and threads. If your vacuum’s brush heads become jammed,\u00a0cut<\/strong>\u00a0any threads that you can visibly see with scissors. This is a better action than pulling the hair because doing so can lead to debris getting more trapped in the vacuum’s brush heads. But be careful that you don’t cut the bristles.<\/p>\nFortunately, some vacuums have brush heads that feature indents where you can guide the scissors without cutting the bristles. Once you’ve done this step and the brush head doesn’t have any electrical elements, clean the brush head in the water to rinse any stuck-on dust and remaining hair. Ensure that it is thoroughly dry before you add it back to your vacuum cleaner.<\/p>\n

Remove the dust bin after each cleaning session. Most vacuums will come with a\u00a0maximum fill line<\/strong>\u00a0for the bin, but it’s best not to let dirt or debris get close to this line in the first place.<\/p>\n
