3 Things You Can Do to Extend Your Vacuum’s Service Life

Clean the Filters

One of the easiest ways to extend the life of your vacuum is by routinely cleaning its filters. Depending on how often you use your vacuum, the filters should be cleaned with water and air dried about every other week. Some vacuums have more than one, so refer to the machine’s manual to determine if your vacuum has one or two.

Empty the Bin or Bag Frequently

Whether you have a vacuum with a bag or without one, it’s important to empty the container that holds the dust, dirt and other debris on a regular basis. While it may be tempting to wait until the bag or bin is full, vacuuming while the dust and debris container is at capacity will put strain on the motor and hinder your vacuum’s performance.

Unplug Properly

After you’ve finished vacuuming the house, you may yank on the cord to unplug it from the wall. Not only is this dangerous, but it can also damage the cord. In the future, unplug your vacuum properly after use by reaching for the plug to disconnect it from the outlet.
