Product Information

If you have a large house that needs regular cleaning, a vacuum with a long battery life is essential. If you live in a flat or smaller space, battery life isn’t so important. Most cordless vacuums last up to 20 minutes, while more advanced (and expensive) models may last up to 60 minutes on a single charge. Extra Accessories While most hoovers have two filters, these parts can be made from various materials, depending on the appliance model. So it’s essential to know how to clean the type of filter material. Washable Filter This article was updated in November to add a new Hoover to our list of recommendations. We also ensured that all prices are up-to-date. For almost everyone, vacuum cleaners are one of the most-used appliances in a home. These helpful machines make cleaning up crumbs, dust, and other messes from floors, upholstery, and other surfaces easy.

Mix a solution of two drops of dishwashing liquid or other all-purpose cleaner and two cups of hot water. In a bowl of this cleaning solution, submerge the foam and gently squeeze the filter to wash it. Always leave the filter in a warm place to air dry for at least 24 hours. If you don’t let filters dry properly, mold can grow within the part, which can be a health concern. Non-Washable Filter Foam filters can be cylindrical or flat round sponges in different sizes, depending on the hoover model. These filters are easy to clean but do require a longer drying time. Cleaning a HEPA filter is as simple. First, brush any excess dust and dirt from the component. You can then tap the filter gently against a handrail to loosen more dust and debris. Once you have removed most of the dust and debris, rinse the part under cold water. Keeping Your Vacuum Cleaner Filters Cleaner For Longer Cylinders tend to be better at cleaning stairs and reaching under and around furniture too, thanks to their long, flexible hoses. Designs are either bagged or bagless and often come with a good selection of tools, but some can be bulkier and more awkward to store than other, more compact, vacuum cleaners. How to choose a cylinder vacuum cleaner

Non-Washable Filter

A washable filter can be rinsed in cold water; there is usually no need for a cleaning solution. But if the filter is significantly dirty, a light cleaning solution can be used to loosen stubborn dirt.

To clean a hoover filter, you’ll usually remove the dustbin canister or bag before removing the filter. After emptying the canister, you can clean the filter by wiping or brushing away the dirt or rinsing it with cold water.Accessory storage: This varies from model to model; some allow you to store the accessories within the main body of the vacuum while others clip on or may need to be stored separately. If foam filters start smelling slightly stale after a few washes, freshen them up with a spritz of essential oil and consider leaving the part in sunlight for a bit to dry out more. HEPA Filter A high-efficiency particulate air or HEPA filter traps about 99% of particles larger than 0.3 microns. These filters are made of synthetic fibers, and they are pretty easy to wash.

Telescopic extendable tube: This handy feature extends the metal section of the hose to give you extra reach in larger rooms. However, all types of filters have a slightly different cleaning process, so read on to find out what you need to know to care for your hoover. The Importance Of Clean Filters

The Importance Of Clean Filters

Cylinder vacuums are made up of two parts: the main body, which you pull behind you as you work, and the suction head, which is connected via a hose. They are usually lightweight and, unlike cordless or robot models, you don't need to worry about recharging them as they run on mains power. There are two filters in Hoover vacuums; the vacuum filter or pre-motor filter and the exhaust or post-motor filter. Cleaning the filters can be a slightly different process, depending on the machine’s make and model number. To wash a non-washable filter, you won’t need any water at all. Instead, gently remove debris by hand and then use a soft-bristle brush to remove excess dust and debris. Lastly, you’ll also want to use a cloth to clean leftover dirt particles. To help, the Good Housekeeping Institute has rigorously tested models from all the major brands – Shark to Numatic to Miele – to find which cylinder vacuum cleaners are best for all needs and budgets.
