Vacuum Maintenance: Keeping Your Vacuum Efficient
Your vacuum cleaner is one of the most important cleaning tools in your home. When it's working well, it removes dirt, dust, and allergens, improving your home's air quality. But a poorly maintained vacuum loses suction, pushes dirt around, and can even release dust back into the air. A few minutes of simple maintenance can keep your vacuum running at peak performance.
🗑️ Tip 1: Empty the Bag or Canister Frequently
This is the single most important maintenance task.
A vacuum's suction power drops significantly as the bag or canister fills up. For best performance, empty the canister after every use, and replace the bag when it is no more than two-thirds full. Don't wait until it's completely stuffed.
🧼 Tip 2: Clean or Replace the Filters
Your vacuum has filters that trap fine dust and prevent it from being exhausted back into the room. Clogged filters are a primary cause of lost suction and overheating.
✂️ Tip 3: Clear the Beater Bar / Brush Roll
Hair, string, and carpet fibers inevitably get wrapped around the vacuum's brush roll, preventing it from spinning freely and effectively agitating the carpet.
ホース Tip 4: Check for Clogs
If you have good filters and an empty canister but still have low suction, you probably have a clog. Check the hose and any other airways for blockages and clear them with a broom handle or a straightened coat hanger.
