Can You Wash a Vacuum Cleaner Bag: The Secret to Cleanliness That Few Know
Despite the fact that many modern vacuum cleaner models use a plastic container as a dust collector, so-called “bag vacuum cleaners” are not going to give up their positions.
These devices use disposable and reusable bags to collect waste.
Disposable bags are made of paper or synthetic material and are thrown away once they are full.
Reusable bags can be used for many years until they rip or their closure breaks.
After cleaning, it is recommended to shake out such bags, and in case of heavy contamination, some housewives wash them, despite the fact that manufacturers do not recommend this method of cleaning.
If you decide to follow the experienced housewives and wash a vacuum cleaner bag, remember: regardless of the material it is made of, only hand washing is allowed.
To wash a vacuum cleaner bag, fill a basin with 5-6 liters of water at a temperature no higher than +30 degrees, then dilute the detergent in it and place the bag there.
Let the bag soak for an hour, then hand wash it, drain the dirty water and rinse the bag in clean cool water.
Then let the water drain from the product, blot the bag with a towel and dry it without using a hot battery or hair dryer, as this may damage it.
