Your bagless vacuum needs ample airflow to work properly. Because of this, it’s important to keep canisters and filters clean. In terms of routine maintenance, you’ll need to make sure your vacuum’s canister is emptied whenever it’s halfway full. You should also take the time to clean your vacuum regularly using the following instructions.

Steps to Cleaning a Vacuum:

Canister

Unplug the vacuum cleaner and remove the canister.

Wipe the inside of the canister with a dry microfiber cloth.

Wash the canister in the sink with warm soapy water.

Rinse away all soap suds.

Let the canister dry completely before replacing it.

Filter

Now you’ll move on to your filter: Check your manufacturer’s instructions to determine whether the filter is washable or needs to be replaced.

To wash a filter, you first need to remove it and tap it against a hard surface so that any dust is knocked out. Do this over a trash can.

Now rinse the filter under the sink tap using warm water. Don’t use soap or cleaners unless your manufacturer’s instructions specifically say to do so.

Let the filter dry overnight. Check to be certain it’s completely dry before replacing it.

Base Plate

Next, you’ll remove the base plate so that you can clean the beater bar.

Cut any threads or hair away taking care not to damage the bristles on the bar.

Use a grout brush to remove any debris from the beater bar.

Wipe down the base plate of the vacuum with a dry microfiber cloth.

Finally, you’ll wipe down the outside of the vacuum with the same microfiber cloth.
