Note:  Always follow the instructions that come with your vacuum cleaner, this blog post is merely a guide.  Pictured and used in this post and in my home is the Dyson Cinetic Big Ball Animal+Allergy vacuum cleaner.  I love it and wholeheartedly recommend it!  The cinetic technology eliminates the need to replace filters, so that makes it much easier to clean and maintain.

Cleaning a vacuum cleaner seems more complicated than it actually is.  A couple tools and 15 minutes and you’ll have a clean and like new vacuum cleaner.  Try this simple step-by-step and you’ll most likely notice that your vacuum works better and runs more smoothly.  Do this little routine monthly and you’ll be extending the life of your vacuum cleaner.

HERE’S WHAT YOU NEED:

• garbage bag
• old scissors or seam ripper
• cotton pads
• rubbing alcohol
• water source (I use the utility sink in the mud room)
• cleaning cloth or paper towels

Step 1:  Empty the canister in a garbage bag or remove and dispose of vacuum cleaner bag – I recommend doing this outside or in your garage – the weather was not cooperating with me so these pictures were captured in my kitchen.
