Simple step-by-step recipes on how to clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner inside and out

Thanks to the cyclone type of operation of Dyson vacuum cleaners, the device is capable of collecting not only noticeable debris and dust, but also bacteria.

After cleaning, the air in the room becomes clean, since all contaminants are deposited in a special container. But even such a high-tech device still requires care and cleaning.

How to disassemble and clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner

To clean the Dyson vacuum cleaner, you need to make sure that the device is not energized. All Dyson devices have elements that require cleaning:

• removable container for collecting garbage;
• several types of nozzles;
• cyclone;

Additionally, some models are equipped with:

• corrugated hoses;
• telescopic or solid tubes;
• filters before and/or after the engine.

How to clean hair and fur from attachments

In order to clean the vacuum cleaner brush, it is disassembled and the roller (or rollers) of the nozzle are released. Use scissors and tweezers to remove long hair and fur. All other debris from the roller and nozzle is swept away with a brush, then the parts are wiped with a napkin.

Using the TangleFree mini turbo brush allows you to efficiently remove animal hair and hair, while the cleaning process of the nozzle does not require the use of scissors. Debris is easily swept away with a brush. For high-quality and quick cleaning of the mini turbo brush, you can use the crevice nozzle.

Cleaning the filter

If you need to clean a vacuum cleaner with a cyclone mechanism, you need to determine which filter it is equipped with. The package may include:

• washable pre-engine filters;
• washable microfilter located after the engine;
• HEPA fine filters.

Washable filters, after removal, are cleaned under running cold water, with gentle tapping to speed up the cleaning process. After washing, the filter should be carefully squeezed out and left to dry completely for 1-2 days.

When washing and drying filters, the following must not be used:

• hot water;
• any chemical dishwashing detergents;
• dishwashers;
• washing machines;
• hair dryers;
• microwave ovens.

Exposure to high temperatures and aggressive substances can compromise the integrity of the structure and lead to premature failure of parts.

Hepa filters are maintenance-free, cannot be cleaned, and must be replaced at the end of their service life. The design of these filters allows you to retain microparticles that go through all the preliminary stages of purification.

With proper use and regular cleaning of washable filters, the service life of HEPA filters is approximately 7 years.

What's included in the dyson v11 absolute pro

The Dyson V11 Absolute Pro kit is huge.
There are a dozen attachments and accessories for all occasions and situations; you don’t need to buy anything in addition. As I unpacked the small but massive vacuum cleaner box, my wife and I were constantly surprised: just when we thought we were done, there was another attachment, another accessory. It is impossible to fit it all in a second time from memory, the contents are so carefully placed.

I suggest you play the game. Try to find the entire contents of the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro box in the photo below.

If you count less than 13 items, try again.

The purpose of some attachments may seem duplicative, but in fact they perform different functions and are useful in different tasks.

1. Adapter for cleaning high and hard-to-reach places. It opens at any angle up to 180 degrees, allowing you to clean places where you would normally be unable to reach on your own. For example, you can use it to vacuum behind a cabinet or remove accumulated dust behind containers placed on the balcony.

2. A brush with stiff bristles. Good for car cleaning, dusting perforated and uneven surfaces, including heaters and wicker chairs.

3. Crevice nozzle. Essential tool for tight spaces between cabinets and in gaps at the headboard of a sofa. One of our most used for thorough cleaning.

4. Dock station for vertical installation of the vacuum cleaner. It is screwed to the wall using a special adapter, or attached to a strong double-sided tape. Allows you to charge the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro in an upright position by mechanically clipping it to the charger.

5. Combination nozzle. Can be used in two positions: with extended bristles and without them.

6. Main pipe. Not required, but most often used in conjunction with floor attachments.

It is not telescopic, which in other cases would be disappointing, but not when any attachment in the vacuum cleaner is replaced in literally two seconds.

7. Nozzle with a soft roller. The soft, two-tone bristles lift up small particles and dust, including stuck-on dust, from the floor, leaving surfaces cleaner than standard floor attachments on other vacuum cleaners.

It has its own mini motor with torque, which is powered by the vacuum cleaner battery.

8. Charger. Similar in size to the MacBook Pro adapter, made of plastic.

The cable length is about two meters, which is enough for convenient placement of the vacuum cleaner even without a docking station.

9. Mini electric brush. Suitable for hard-pile surfaces, upholstered thresholds and sofas.

The motor inside spins the brush, knocking out stubborn dust from the upholstery. It is most convenient to use it without a tube, with a direct connection to the vacuum cleaner.

10. High torque nozzle. Ideal for carpets with any length of pile, as it is adjusted mechanically using a switch at the front. It has several strips with brushes of different lengths and hardness, which not only clean out dust, but also unfasten stuck and previously detached pieces of lint.

The physical switch has three positions corresponding to the thickness and length of the carpet pile.

11. Brush with soft bristles. It is small and well suited for peripherals, for example, a laptop keyboard or the insides of a computer system unit.

12. Crevice nozzle with extension. It opens to almost twice its length, allowing you to reach the vacuum cleaner anywhere, especially in combination with the rotating nozzle and the main tube.

13. Miniature bristled crevice tool with extension. They didn't find it in the box right away. The purpose should already be clear.

This entire huge set more than covers any needs of the owner and outshines the equipment of our previous cordless vacuum cleaner, the Dyson V8. The ones we use most are the carpet, hard floor and crevice nozzle with extension, as well as the small combination nozzle. Together they cover 98% of typical home cleaning scenarios.

How to increase the efficiency level of a home appliance

A device selected taking into account operating conditions will work effectively. Dyson produces 2 types of devices:

Cordless vacuum cleaners can be selected to clean home spaces of any size. A set of accessories allows you to vacuum any type of coating:

• hard;
• carpet;
• delicate, including parquet;
• carpet

This device is suitable for pet owners, especially long-haired ones. The quality of purification of the air entering the cyclone allows people suffering from allergies to lead a normal life.

Compact dimensions allow you to use the device in a car.

Cylindrical ones are not intended for cleaning delicate surfaces, and they are inconvenient for vacuuming cars.

In order for a household device to work efficiently, a number of rules must be followed:

1. Choose the right vacuum cleaner from the proposed model range, taking into account all the tasks that need to be solved with the help of the device.
2. Use recommended attachments to clean the surface.
3. If there is a suction power switching system, adjust it depending on the type of cleaning to be done.
4. If you need to provide clean air for a child or a person suffering from allergies, then with low suction power, Hepa filters are more effective.
5. Do not allow moisture to get inside the device. Dry all washable parts thoroughly.
6. Do not allow household appliances to be near an open fire or heating device.
7. To ensure safety, do not use a vacuum cleaner on wet surfaces.

Manufacturability in details

Power and equipment are not everything. The coolest thing about my allergies is that Dyson vacuum cleaners have recommendations from the British Foundation for People with Allergic Diseases, the Institute of Immunology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Moscow Research Institute of Pediatrics and Pediatric Surgery of Rosmedtekhnologii. You guessed correctly - about the benefits of using vacuum cleaners of this brand to combat allergies. Just a week later the effect began to be felt: the eternal runny nose disappeared.

They apply to the compact Dyson V8 in the same way as to the V6. 15 tiny cyclones separate the air in the can from the collected dust using a patented 2 Tier Radial™ design and force it through a filter system. It purifies the air no worse than a specialized device. No smell of dust, no noise. (According to marketers, the vacuum cleaner filters particles down to 0.3 microns - and I am inclined to believe them).

Reading reviews of the previous generation of portable Dysons, I was afraid that the new vacuum cleaner would squeal like Sarah Jane Ferridge or Marika Schonberg. But no. The company's engineers did a tremendous job.

I did not hear any high-frequency howls during testing and subsequent operation. The sound is similar to the quiet rumble of an old Cadillac - impressive, bassy and very quiet compared to all vacuum cleaners I know. Very nice. You close your eyes and it’s like you’re driving a muscle car. This effect was achieved through a sophisticated system of soundproofing elements.

Even the cabin of a passenger plane would be envious of this. There is a special casing for the entire engine compartment. There is a filter at the outlet of the garbage disposal. And even in front of the air release valve there is its own filter!

How often can you wash a household appliance?

Cleaning a Dyson vacuum cleaner depends on the frequency of use of the device and the type of debris being removed. After treating surfaces where flour or other small debris has been spilled, the filters must be washed immediately.

The waste container is emptied when it is filled to the Max level. But it should be borne in mind that the remains of wool and household waste are a favorable environment for the proliferation of microorganisms. If the vacuum cleaner will not be used for a long time, it should be washed thoroughly.

Recommendations for proper cleaning of the vacuum cleaner

A person washing a Dyson vacuum cleaner should follow the following algorithm:

1. De-energize the device by disconnecting it from the power source.
2. Remove the nozzle and, having disconnected the roller, clean the brush from the vacuum cleaner. Then wipe it with a damp cloth.
3. Inspect and wipe the hose or tube, remove blockages.
4. Empty the contents of the cylinder into a trash bag.
5. Remove the container of the Dyson vacuum cleaner, rinse with cold running water and, after wiping with a napkin, leave to dry.
6. Remove the filters and, after washing them under running cold water, place them to dry.
7. Inspect the gaskets and carefully rinse the cyclone with running water without immersing it in water.
8. Dry the parts for 48 hours. The occurrence of an unpleasant odor can be directly related to increased humidity of filters and internal parts.
9. After inspecting all components for damage, reassemble the device in proper order.

Sometimes the question arises why the Dyson vacuum cleaner does not suck up debris. The cause may be a blockage in the cyclone; this is most often accompanied by heating of the device and its shutdown.

In this case, you should carry out extraordinary cleaning of the device. The Dyson mechanism is different in that the suction power does not depend on the level of debris in the container and is constant throughout the cleaning process.

If your Dyson vacuum cleaner runs jerkily, the reason may be that debris has gotten into the restrictor valve hinge. Simply disconnect the hose and manually remove the blockage.

Cleaning

Compared to the previous model, the V11 container has been enlarged by 40%, allowing for less frequent emptying. With the help of a convenient mechanism, you can remove waste from the vacuum cleaner directly into the waste basket as hygienically as possible during downtime.

To empty the dust bin, you need to move the red handle all the way down, then the lid will swing right over the trash can. The dust collector cup can be completely removed and wiped.

The vacuum cleaner itself informs you about the need to clean the filters by displaying a corresponding notification on the display. Then the filters can be removed and simply washed with cold water. The manufacturer recommends performing this procedure at least once a month

It is important to completely dry the filter before the next use: to do this, place the washed filter in a dry place with good ventilation for 24 hours and check it before installing it in the vacuum cleaner.

How often can you clean a household appliance?

The device is equipped with a dust container, which should be emptied every three cleanings, even if it is not yet full. If, after using the device once, a lot of debris has accumulated in the dust collector, be sure to shake it out.

Wired and wireless models are equipped with two preliminary and final cleaning filters: the first product must be washed at least 1-2 times a month.

Fine filters, depending on the material they are made of, can be:

• Reusable - made of fluoroplastic fibers filled with activated carbon. Such devices can be washed as they become dusty.
• Disposable - made of paper, fiberglass with antimicrobial impregnation. You cannot blow air or place the filter in water to remove dirt - the product will be deformed and lose its properties. If dust accumulates in the device, it should be replaced with a new one.

IMPORTANT! Disassemble the device and remove dust from its internal surfaces at least once every six months. If you often use a vacuum cleaner, carry out this procedure once every three months.

Motor and output filter processing

After removing the dust collector, begin processing the filter, which is located immediately behind it or below it (depending on the model of the vacuum cleaner). It protects the engine from dust flying from a container or bag. To remove it, you need to pull the housing. The engine filter is made of foam rubber or pressed synthetic fiber.

Cyclone vacuum cleaners have 2 additional filters. The part under the dust collector consists of a sponge and a hard plastic mesh. In front of him there is only foam rubber.

Only the foam layer needs regular cleaning. They do it like this:

• The sponge is removed from the plastic body. The fishing line with a ring passing through it is cut (if any).
• The filter is washed with warm water and then further cleaned with soap. You cannot twist or wring out the foam too much.
• After rinsing and drying, the foam part is returned to its place.

The plastic mesh is wiped as needed. If it is heavily soiled, remove it and wash it in a bowl of powder. The pressed filter is only blown out and shaken out.

After a year, and with frequent cleaning even earlier, the engine filter is replaced with a new one. The main indicator of wear of the upper protective layer is the instantaneous heating of the device after being plugged into the network.

Like dust bags, fine filters are reusable and disposable. The latter, made of paper, become unusable after several cleanings. Caring for reusable equipment parts depends on the material from which they are made. So:

How I found my ideal hair growth product

Hello dear! I want to share with you my solution to the sensitive problem of hair loss . The problems are very serious, at least for me. I would never have thought that this misfortune would touch me, especially at the age of 29 (read more...)

Outlet filters made of foam rubber , which stand in the way of air exiting the vacuum cleaner, are washed and dried, as is the motor protection.

If you add fabric softener to the water during the last rinse, the vacuum cleaner will additionally freshen the air during cleaning.

A HEPA filter made of fluoroplastic requires a special approach:

1. First, the protection element is placed accordion-side down and slightly knocked out.
2. Then, without changing the position, lower it into a warm soapy solution and leave it there for 20 minutes. For minor stains, simply rinse with water.
3. Using vigorous up and down movements, the filter is washed in detergent and then rinsed in the same way. You cannot rub the accordion with a brush.
4. The clean part is placed on a cloth to dry. Please note that it takes a long time due to the presence of several layers in the filter.

HEPA filters are changed and cleaned no more than once a year. Foam rubber elements - after each cleaning.

How to wash the outside and inside after cleaning?

The algorithm for cleaning cyclone devices is similar to cleaning other vacuum cleaners:

• disconnect the device from the power supply;
• disassemble the vacuum cleaner after studying its operating instructions;
• wash all removable elements;
• remove the rear engine cover, remove dust from the engine;
• assemble the device, turn it on and check its operation.

IMPORTANT! It is strictly unacceptable to wash the parts of the vacuum cleaner with hot water and hard sponges. It is also prohibited to use preparations containing acids or alkalis to remove contaminants. Abrasive products can damage plastic components of household appliances.

Cleaning the attachments from hair and fur

The brushes of the vacuum cleaner can work due to the force of the sucked air (the quality of cleaning with the nozzle in this case depends on the power of the cyclone device) or from an electric drive that rotates the roller in autonomous mode.

Preface

I love good technology, but I buy it very carefully. The market is full of premium devices that do not meet their own quality standards

Huge press attention is focused on smartphones and computers, which are examined almost under a microscope and criticize every detail. Household appliances rarely receive the same scrupulous attention

I honestly admit: my wife and I bought our first cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner very carefully, having read dozens of reviews and interviewed friends who had dealt with Dyson before. Having found out everything about its capabilities, we finally decided

This happened more than two years ago, and to this day we only clean the apartment with him alone.

While I was personally pleased with the V8, there were a few inconveniences that remained, including the not-so-long runtime. The battery is still alive after 3 years, but this does not change the situation: cleaning was initially possible only for 25-30 minutes at minimum power. Often we had to hurry.

Therefore, the 60 minutes of operation of the Dyson V11 Absolute Pro on a single charge, as well as several other useful improvements already in the first days of testing, made the new model a complete upgrade over the previous one. I was also delighted with the kit itself.

Recommendations

The internal surfaces of a household appliance are also susceptible to contamination over time, so clean them every six months using a dry soft cloth or a disinfectant wipe.

In case of significant accumulations of dust in the device, wash the surfaces with a neutral detergent (soap solution), then wipe the treated areas dry and leave the device to dry disassembled for two days.

Also regularly wipe the outer sides of the case and the handle with a dry cloth , and wash it with a mild detergent every six months or a year (depending on the intensity of the formation of dirt).

ATTENTION! Before the cleaning procedure, soak a cloth in the product and wring it out so that a large amount of moisture does not get into the device, which can lead to oxidation of the conductive contacts and damage to the device.

How to increase the efficiency level of the device?

1. If the suction properties of the vacuum cleaner deteriorate, check how full the dust container is and remove debris from it. Also, the need to clean the container is indicated by a change in the noise emitted by the device during operation.
2. During the cleaning process, take short breaks in the operation of the device to prevent possible overheating of the engine (the equipment should operate continuously for no more than 2 hours).
3. Do not put pressure on the tube and the brush attachment, pressing it to the floor: this will limit the access of air into the vacuum cleaner and the motor may overheat.

When using a vacuum cleaner, strictly follow the operating rules of the device specified by the manufacturer in the instructions.

If your device is not equipped with a dynamic load sensor system that automatically adjusts the engine speed, set the required power mode to clean different types of surfaces (smooth floors, carpets, rugs).

Useful video

This video will show you how to disassemble and clean a Dyson vacuum cleaner:

Any instrument requires care to remain functional. When using a Dyson vacuum cleaner to clean your home, you should know how to clean the device from the collected dirt. The internal labyrinths and cavities are gradually clogged with a thin suspension, and the suction power decreases. Systematic care of the device will extend its service life.

Cleaning a Dyson vacuum cleaner

In the process of collecting garbage and separating it from the air at high speed, solid particles are electrified by friction. Dust settles on internal surfaces and is difficult to remove. How to clean the inside of a Dyson vacuum cleaner after cleaning? When routinely removing accumulated debris from the bowl, the manufacturer advises leaving a thin layer of adhered dust until general cleaning. No housewife will tolerate her instrument having sticky hairs or being covered with a layer of gray dust on the outside. That's right, wipe the tool after each use.
