Changing Filter On Dyson Vacuum Cleaner
How To Change Filter On Dyson Vacuum Cleaner? Likely, you regularly use a vacuum for cleaning the carpets in your home, such as a Dyson. However, have you ever considered how to clean and change the filter on a Dyson vacuum cleaner? If you own a Dyson vacuum, we will show you how to get a deep clean which, in turn, will ensure a better cleaning job on your carpet.
The Dyson Vacuum Cleaner – How To Change The Filter
The process of cleaning a Dyson vacuum is relatively straightforward when you know what to do. We recommend following the guide every one or two months. Those who vacuum or deep clean regularly may need to follow it more frequently.
Step 1. Unplug Your Dyson Vacuum Cleaner
Make sure the Dyson is unplugged from the power outlet before you begin disassembling and cleaning it. It will ensure your safety. You are also less likely to get electrocuted.
Step 2. Empty The Dust Canister And Scrub It
As all Dyson vacuums are bagless, you should begin with the dust canister. After all your cleaning, it will likely be half full. Start by emptying the dust and dirt.
Typically, dust canisters are underneath cyclones. Near the base is a red “bin release” button. Press it to release the dust canister from the vacuum.
Press the dust canister release button to release the base and empty debris into the trash. Then shake it vigorously to remove any remaining dirt.
Clean the interior of the dust canister with a damp cloth or a microfibre. It makes it easy to capture dust and dirt particles, holding them tight. They do not have to smear back onto the dust canister.
You may want to use a compressed air device if dirt sticks in the cyclones. You do not need to use any damaging liquids but still get maximum suction by blasting debris away. It is crucial to dry out the dust canister because moist conditions lead to mould growth.
Step 3. Remove And Wash The Dyson Vacuum Filters
Filters trap dust, pollen, bacteria, and dirt particles in the air. Over time, it becomes necessary to clean out the Dyson filters. Lift the purple colour Dyson filter located near the cyclone and remove it for cleaning.
Dyson upright vacuums can come with more than one filter and are at the back of the machine or the “ball.”
Run your filter underwater from the faucet. You can gently squeeze the water out and repeat this process until the water runs clear.
You should fully dry the vacuum filter for around 24 hours before inserting it back into it. Dyson manuals recommend washing the filter every three months. You may need to vacuum more frequently if you use your vacuum often and on heavily soiled floors.
Step 4. Restore The Brush Bar’s Straightness
Brush bars collect hair, debris, and dirt from your floors and carpets. Depending on the model, you may need to remove the soleplate to clean the brush bar. In various models, you need a flathead screwdriver to remove the screws. Other models will be unscrew able with a coin. Then remove the brush.
Manually clearing brush is another option. Then cut out any hair stuck around it with the scissors. Microfiber cloths are for cleaning the brush bar compartment. Be sure that the brush is dry before reinstalling it and fixing the soleplate to the head.
Step 5. Unclog A Dyson Vacuum Hose
A clogged hose will harm suction power over time. When you clean your Dyson, disconnect the hose. It sometimes comes with a button for detaching it from the wand. Check the hose visually to see if there is any debris inside. Alternatively, you can use a mop handle to push the hose through.
Put 1 cup of vinegar in your kitchen sink and fill it with warm water. Let your hose immerse in the mixture. Afterwards, you can flush it out with water from a faucet. Your hose may be easier to handle if you hold it in a U shape. Allow it to dry for about 24 hours before reconnecting it to your vacuum.
Step 6. Wipe Down The Dyson Vacuum Cleaner
Be sure to clean the outer parts of your Dyson vacuum. You will only need a damp microfiber cloth to avoid oversaturating the machine. Clean the wheels and soleplate of your vacuum by sanitizing them with a solution of vinegar and water. Let the vacuum fully dry before using it again.
Conclusion
A monthly Dyson cleaning is a must. You’ll be able to use your vacuum longer by doing this. Before you begin, always unplug your vacuum. Clean the dust canister and microfiber cloth before moving onto the filters. Now you can clear the brush bar of tangles. Remember to clean the hose as well. Once everything is dry, you can re-use your vacuum.
