Keep Your Vacuum Cleaner Performing Properly


The Experts

The manufacturer's recommendations are the best guide for proper upkeep so be sure to keep the manual that comes along with the vacuum cleaner handy. There are certain procedures unique to particular makes and models so careful attention to the owner's manual is the best starting point. In addition, it is wise to make use of any on-line services or telephone help provided by the manufacturer.

The Filters

The function of the filter in a vacuum cleaner is crucial to the overall performance of the vacuum cleaner itself. The vacuum will quickly lose suction when filters become clogged. Take care to clean the filters often, possibly even every time you vacuum, but at least as often as the owner's manual suggests. Filters will most definitely need to be cleaned following the cleanup of something that is especially prone to clogging a filter. Very fine particles from things like flour, baby powder, etc. have the potential to do this. Most filters are not designed to last indefinitely so don't ignore the guidelines listed in your manual for when to change the filters.
