To clean a Dyson stick vacuum, follow these key steps to maintain optimal performance:
- Unplug the vacuum before cleaning.
- Empty the dust bin when it reaches the max line by pressing the release button, then clean the bin with a damp lint-free cloth and let it dry completely.
- Remove and wash the vacuum filter monthly by rinsing under warm water until clear, then leave it to dry fully for at least 24 hours before reinserting.
- Clean the brush bar by removing any hair, fiber, and debris; some brush bars can be washed with cold water and dried thoroughly before reassembly.
- Wipe the exterior with a damp cloth.
- Ensure all parts are dry before putting the vacuum back together.
Avoid washing parts not recommended for washing, like the cyclone or motor components, and do not use detergents or submerge the bin. Use only genuine Dyson parts for replacements if needed. This routine cleaning helps maintain suction and extends the life of the vacuum.
