Care and Maintenance:

Being able to clean and maintain your vacuum cleaner is imperative to making full use of the investment, especially if your vacuum cleaner is expensive. In order to have your vacuum cleaner last as long as possible, you’d want to clean it every so often, at least once every month or two. If your vacuum cleaner is bagged, make sure to check the bag and replace it regularly. A vacuum with a full bag will not clean as efficiently and may also result in overflow, releasing dust particles back into the air. It is a good rule of thumb to replace the bag when it becomes around 2/3 full. If your vacuum has a canister, the same rule applies.

When cleaning the brush roll, which should be done every couple cleans, use scissors to cut the fibers tangled in the hairs. A seam ripper is another good tool to clean out thinner fibers, such as human or pet hair. Furthermore, if you find vacuuming more difficult or less smooth, you may want to lubricate the brush roll ball bearings. This can be done by removing the brush roll and oiling the bearings with your fingers. You may also need to replace the bearings themselves or even the entire brush roll.

As many vacuum cleaners today now contain filters, you’d want to replace them regularly in order to keep from releasing dust and dirt back into the air. You can either clean it out with water or shake them out. If needed, certain types of filters can be replaced. Cleaning the hose of a vacuum cleaner is simple and does not need to be done often. To do this, you can use a broomstick or coat hanger to clean out any obstructions or debris out of the vacuum.

Wrapping it Up:

A pet hair vacuum cleaner is an essential part of a household, especially for anyone with a pet. Choosing the right vacuum cleaner is important to be able to clean your home thoroughly and efficiently. Each type of vacuum, from an upright to a stick to handheld to a canister, have their strengths and weaknesses.

A canister vacuum is powerful, quiet, and versatile to use. However, people may prefer not to drag the canister unit behind them while cleaning. An upright vacuum has a familiar design, but may not be as powerful or versatile. A stick vacuum is portable and lightweight but has a smaller carrying capacity. Finally, a handheld vacuum is small, lightweight, and easy to use, but cannot clean a large area. When buying a pet hair vacuum, you must look for one that suits your needs. A larger household may need a larger, more powerful vacuum with a larger canister or bag while a household with more corners or hard-to-reach edges may need more attachments or a longer wand. In the end, choosing the right vacuum cleaner comes down to your own needs.
