Product Information

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.

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. Telescopic extendable tube: This handy feature extends the metal section of the hose to give you extra reach in larger rooms. 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 Many modern cylinder vacuum cleaners come with a host of fancy features. These can be useful, but don't fork out money for tech that you don't need or won’t use. Empty the vacuum cleaner’s dustbin canister or bag frequently and clean the vent covers of dust after each use. It’s also important to clean the brush head after each use. Other Maintenance And Cleaning Tips

Where To Find New Filters

If you want a lightweight cleaner that’s designed for use around your whole house, then we’d suggest going for a traditional cylinder vacuum – they tend to have ample dust capacity and there are no dwindling battery reserves to consider as you clean. While it’s recommended that you replace the filters annually, if you notice signs of wear and tear, it’s best to replace the filter immediately. Another sign your Hoover needs a new filter is a moldy smell. Where To Find New Filters 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 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

It’s recommended to clean the filters at least once a month. However, if you have pets or need to vacuum your home more frequently for other reasons, it’s worthwhile to clean the filters every two to three weeks instead. Before You Get StartedMix 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 It’s important to avoid washing the filters in a washing machine, and it’s never wise to dry parts in the tumble dryer, either. Unfortunately, both appliances can damage filters easily.

Variable power: This is useful if you need more power for deep-pile carpets or are conscious of energy usage.

The loss of suction won’t just make cleaning your home more frustrating, as dirty filters also make the appliance work harder, which can cause it to overheat and even burn out. As a result, you’ll need to buy a new hoover a lot sooner. How Often To Clean The Filters Range of tools: Most cylinders now count a crevice tool and upholstery brush among their additional attachments. If you have pets, look for a rotating brush to collect ground-in hair.

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. 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.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.
