Sustainable thinking with a Design to Value approach

You should always switch off and unplug a vacuum cleaner before any maintenance tasks.

Instead, empty bags when they are approximately 75% full, or bagless canisters when they hit the “Max” line..Remove any small objects from the floor before you start vacuuming.

Aside from making it more difficult to clean your floors, small items could clog your vacuum or even damage an internal component.Get rid of Lego blocks, rubber bands, large cereal pieces, and anything else that could cause an issue for your vac..Vacuum (at least) once per week.

A thorough vacuuming each week can maintain dust, dirt, and other debris at manageable levels.Ideally, you should vacuum carpets twice a week though..

Vacuum before your floors look like they need it!.

The longer dirt sits on your carpets and hard floors, the more time there is for it to become caked in.. Make sure your vacuum is cleaned and unblocked.Replace worn or torn filters.

Check the wand for clumps (if your vacuum has one).Clean the dust canister if you have a bagless vacuum cleaner.

Empty the vacuum before it’s completely full.The longer you run your vacuum, the more chance there is of it overheating.
