Now it is impossible to imagine how the housewives would cope with cleaning without a vacuum cleaner. Meanwhile, the household assistant also needs care: sometimes you need to wash the vacuum cleaner under water, replace garbage bags and update filters. In doing so, be careful when washing the appliance.
Is it possible to wash the vacuum cleaner under water
Vacuum cleaner cleaning depends on the type of construction. There are various systems for garbage collection: aquafilters, disposable and reusable garbage bags, ordinary containers.
It is necessary to wash the vacuum cleaner with an aquafilter, otherwise in a couple of days after cleaning the appliance will begin to exude an unpleasant odor.
For other designs, washing the internal parts is not necessary. It is enough for them to replace the bag, remove debris and wipe the parts with a damp cloth.
How to wash a vacuum cleaner
Watering the device from a hose, of course, is not worth it - water will get inside and cause a short circuit.
Instruction:
- First, unplug the device.
- Disassemble it into components and remove garbage from the bag / container.
- Remove all filter systems.
- Rinse while holding under running water. Filters must be washed periodically from dust in order for the motor to work efficiently. If the elements become clogged, the vacuum cleaner will quickly heat up and exude a dusty smell, and then suddenly fail.

To prevent dust from the device again appearing in the apartment, clean it on the landing, in the yard or, in extreme cases, in the bathtub. And so that the dust does not fly away, place the part in a bulk bag and tighten it with an elastic band or fist. If you have a vertical vacuum cleaner complete with a manual one, they clean each other perfectly - use this technique.
The external surfaces of the device can be wiped with a damp cloth. By the way, it is not necessary to use detergents: just remove all the dust and wipe the item dry. Under running water, you can safely rinse the hose and brushes.
Important
Collect and turn on the vacuum cleaner only after all its parts have completely dried, especially filters to protect the motor!
Cleaning the vacuum cleaner will not take more than 5-10 minutes, just try to carry it out after each cleaning, so that the appliance does not clog too much.
