Keeping your vacuum bin clean

Now that you've fitted your new vacuum bin, cleaning it regularly will help to keep your Dyson handheld vacuum cleaner running well, smelling fresh and help prevent it from developing a fault.

As the bin is where dirt and dust is collected, it is of course going to get dirty and clogged itself over time. Be sure to regularly empty your bin and clean it as necessary. To clean, all you need to do is wipe it with a damp cloth. Do not use detergents, polishes or air fresheners on your vacuum bin or place it in the dishwasher as this can cause damage. Ensure the bin is completely dry before refitting it to your vacuum.
