Eternal vacuum cleaner, or the rules of care for household appliances

Of course, there is no eternal technology, but it is in the power of every person to extend its service life. One of the most useful and at the same time most often other failing devices is a vacuum cleaner. And the reason for breakdowns, as a rule, is one - incorrect operation of the device. Therefore, below will be described how to clean the vacuum cleaner after cleaning and thus avoid its rapid breakdown.

Kinds

Before considering the methods of cleaning a vacuum cleaner, you need to know a little about existing forms. All vacuum cleaners can be divided into the following types - ordinary bag, container (bagless), with aqua filter, washing and mops. Stand apart robots vacuum cleanerswhich do not quite relate to the topic, but they also have something to clean.

Depending on the type of vacuum cleaner, how it can be washed varies.but in general, the scheme is the same.

The most important element in the device, which directly affects its operation and service life is filter. No matter what kind of vacuum cleaner, the filter will be there. As a rule, there are even two of them. The first is at the entrance to the motor and protects it from dirty air, in fact, it is called the motor. The second filter is at the outlet of the vacuum cleaner and its task is to stop the microparticles, which could still avoid the container or bag, as well as the motor filter.

Proper care of a regular vacuum cleaner

After each cleaning in the apartment, you need to take care of the main assistant in this matter and clean it yourself. For bag and container vacuum cleaner the scheme is approximately the same:

1. The bag or the container needs to be cleared of garbage, the container as necessary to wipe. You should not wash it, otherwise you will have to wait a long time until it is completely dry.
2. A disposable bag is immediately recyclable, and a reusable bag should be periodically washed or at least shaken out. It is worth remembering that it is made of an air-conducting material and picks up dust, but when it is filled or if it is not washed and changed for a long time, it will cease passing air, which will affect the power of pulling and, accordingly, the quality of cleaning.
3. The next stage of cleaning is washing filters. The first is the motor filter, which protects the motor from clogging. It is essentially a sponge, so it can be washed. Of course, everything depends on the frequency of use of the vacuum cleaner, but as it becomes clogged, thorough cleaning of the filter should be carried out. Otherwise, the dust will become clogged in the motor, it will warm up, which will inevitably lead to the fact that the motor simply burns out, and such damage is not subject to repair. Depending on the use, but at least every six months, the filter should be completely changed.
4. After that you can go to output filter. In most modern vacuum cleaners it is called a fine filter, and it has the name HEPA. There are several types - HEPA 11, 12, 13 and 14. The last two can be washed, the previous two cannot be moistened. It can be cleaned with a brush, some people blow it with a hairdryer in a cold dryer. After washing, the filter should be determined in a dark place and allowed to dry on its own. Sun, hot battery and other methods of drying are strictly contraindicated. Such filters should also be periodically changed, but since the intensity of their use is much lower, this can be done no more than once a year.

The fine filter is responsible for the purity of the air leaving the device and if it is clogged, the air will be the same, which means that the whole point of cleaning is lost.

Vacuum cleaners and models with aqua filter

The general scheme of cleaning is not very different from the care of previous types of vacuum cleaners, but there is a slight difference, which occurs due to the design features. At washing vacuum cleaners and models with an aqua filter in a container there is waterthrough which the dirty air passes, therefore after each cleaning it must be poured out, and the container itself should be thoroughly washed. After all, the remnants of dirty water can stink, which is also not too good for technology.

In the washing vacuum cleaners, after each cleaning, clean water should be passed through the hose in order to also remove dirt from it. In general, these types of devices require more care, but the cleaning efficiency with their help increases significantly.

Turbo brush cleaning

Do not forget that the vacuum cleaner consists not only of the body and hose. The main element that actually collects garbage is brush. Many do not give it a serious meaning and believe that care for her is not needed, but in reality everything looks completely different.

From a regular brush, periodically remove hair, wool or threads that are wound on a pile when collecting garbage. If you do not do this, the brush will simply stop raking up debris from carpets, and it is difficult to lift the same threads only with the force of the inhaled hair.

More complex and time consuming cleaning turbo brushes. This is a very useful nozzle, indispensable for pet owners. It is in all models of vacuum cleaners, it can also be purchased separately. In robots vacuum cleaners and vacuum mops, only such a brush is worth it.

The work of the turbo brush is that during the cleaning inside it a roller rotates, on which bristles are spirally applied. Due to its rotation, winding of hair, threads and wool occurs, as well as their subsequent dispatch into a bag or container. Without care, the roller is completely clogged with hair, and the air stops penetrating the tube, after which the roller itself refuses to work.

Each turbo brush with two sides has special pivot levers that allow you to disassemble the brush and pull the roller. After that, you just need to remove all the garbage from it and re-assemble the device.
