  1. Baking soda. Baking soda should not be used for vacuuming because it can clog the filter. This will reduce the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner and may even damage the motor.
  2. Glass fragments. The fragments can easily damage the structure, even if the model does not have a bag.
  3. Plant debris and soil. This type of debris also clogs the vacuum cleaner.
  4. Cosmetics. Another type of garbage that can clog up your device.
  5. Ash from the fireplace. It can be dangerous for a vacuum cleaner that does not have the necessary filter.
