Vacuum cleaners are perfect for all homes regardless of size; without them you would be left to clean your floors using a sweeping brush. We know of course that this would be less effective - leaving the dust and dirt deeply ingrained inside your carpets and floors.
Over time even when the bags are changed you may still suffer from performance issues. With the possible loss of suction, there is a selection of quick tests and fixes which may increase the suction and operation of your vacuum.
Cause 1
One of the prime culprits which can reduce the overall suction and power to your cleaner could be due to a blockage. If there is a blockage within the extension wand or hose, air will struggle to pass. A selection of quick checks could help you identify the cause and get your cleaner unblocked and sucking again in no time.
For further information on removing blockages please see our helpful article and video:
Cause 2
When the bags have been changed and any blockages removed, you may find that the power of your vacuum may still be heavily reduced compared to its first cleaning job. Over time the filter will become blocked from all the dust collected.
The filters are designed to catch dust and pollen particles from the air flowing inside the vacuum.
If you’ve forgotten to check the filters, follow our tips below to clean out your filters and get your cleaner performing as it should.
Safety First! Please make sure that you have disconnected the appliance from the mains before beginning any repair.
If your filter isn’t washable or damaged you’ll need a replacement. See our extensive range of spare vacuum cleaner filters to help get your house spick and span.
