Vacuums
Did You Know…
You can help prevent your belt from breaking?
Cut off hair and other debris that becomes wrapped around your vacuum’s brush roll on a regular basis to prevent the brush from being seized and the belt from breaking.

You can unclog your vacuum if you lose suction?
Try removing clogs in the upper or lower hoses with a rounded broomstick.

Your filters need to be changed regularly?
Many vacuums have more than one filter that needs to be cleaned and/or replaced on a regular basis to keep the vacuum running great. Check your vacuum’s user guide for more information.

Steam Mops
Did You Know…
You can help your Steam Mop™ filter last longer?
Empty the water out of the tank after each use, and you’ll prevent leaking and extend the life of your filter.

Hard Floor Cleaners
Did You Know…
You can help prevent problems with your hard floor cleaner’s sprayer?
Wash the cap and insert on the clean water tank with warm water and soft-bristled brush to prevent build-up and help keep your sprayer in good working condition.

Sweepers

Static build-up can cause your sweeper to stop picking up debris? Use your laundry dryer to warm an anti-static dryer sheet for 5 minutes and then wipe your sweeper’s brushes with it to stop this from happening.
