Although spring has passed, it certainly doesn't mean heavy-duty cleaning is over. In fact, summer usually means more guests and more activity, which, unfortunately, also means more cleaning. Since you'll likely be using your vacuum cleaner more often, it's important to keep it in good condition. For those with bagless vacuum cleaners, Kramer's Sew & Vac Center in Cincinnati, OH, has a few maintenance tips for you.

3 Tips for Maintaining Bagless Vacuum Cleaners

1. Empty It Often

Never wait until the canister is completely full to empty it out because there needs to be some room remaining for the dirt to move around. Thankfully, due to the design, it's easy to see when the bag is getting full, and there's usually a maximum fill line on the front of the vacuum cleaner, too.

2. Clean the Filters

Most bagless vacuum cleaners have at least one removable filter that can be cleaned or at least replaced. Depending on the size, fill the sink, a small basin, or the bathtub with warm water and a little bit of dish soap. Let it soak for a while, and then rinse until the water runs clear. Make sure everything is completely dry before putting it back into place.

3. Clear the Brush Roller

Tightly wound hair, thread, floss, or yarn makes it difficult for the brush roller to fully move through carpets and other dirty surfaces. To get rid of them, use scissors to cut them up; go slowly, snipping a little bit at a time until they either fall or can easily be pulled off.
