Here are some steps on how to clean a Dyson filter
1 Take off the filter from the Dyson vacuum.
2 If you have a washable filter, simply clean it by hand with warm water and a small amount of soap. Rinse well and allow to dry completely before using it again.
3 Wash your non-washable filter as above or replace it if needed.
how to clean the rest of the Dyson vacuum cleaner
1 Make sure all parts are unplugged and disconnected from the vacuum cleaner’s body. Use the hose end-cap wrench to loosen any stuck parts that prevent the removal of components such as the brush roll.
2 Vacuum the whole vacuum cleaner with the hose attachment to remove loose dirt and debris. Pay particular attention to crevices, handle areas, and any other hard-to-reach spots.
3 Layout towels on a flat surface for drying off your Dyson parts once they are clean.
4 If you have a masticating Dyson, separate the masticating bin from its lid. Use warm water mixed with a small amount of dish soap to soak both pieces for about half an hour before using a nylon scrubbing pad or toothbrush to gently wash away any grime or stuck particles Rinse well and allow them to dry completely before re-attaching.
5 Gently clean the bin lid using warm water and a small amount of soap, again paying attention to crevices and other hard-to-reach spots. Rinse well and allow it to dry completely before re-attaching it.
6 Use your fingers or q-tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) to clean out any optical parts such as lenses. Wipe with a clean cloth after cleaning. Do not use harsh chemicals or solvents on any plastic components of your vacuum cleaner, including the masticating bin lid or its gaskets/O rings, which will damage the parts.
7 Wash any other removable or washable components in warm water and a small amount of dish soap. Allow them to air dry thoroughly before re-attaching to the vacuum cleaner.
8 Use compressed air or an air compressor to remove dirt from crevices, cracks, and other hard-to-reach spots on your Dyson vacuum cleaner before replacing any components you removed in step 2 or 3. Use q-tips dipped in isopropyl alcohol (rubbing alcohol) sparingly; too much liquid can damage sensitive internal parts of your Dyson vacuum cleaner, such as optical lenses and mechanisms that open/close brush rolls.
Conclusion on how to clean a Dyson filter
Your Dyson vacuums your home, but it may get filthy as well. It’s time for cleaning if your Dyson is underperforming or just looks dirty. Fortunately, cleaning a Dyson isn’t difficult if you follow these steps:
Step 1: Unplug the Dysons power cord from the outlet and turn the machine over so that the bottom plate is facing up. You can lay a cloth below so as not to scratch any surfaces with screws protruding from the bottom.
Step 2: Use a small flathead screwdriver to remove all of the screws on the bottom plate- this will expose all of the internal parts.
Step 3: Next, use a water and dish soap solution to wipe all of the parts. You can avoid getting liquid into any areas where it shouldn’t be with this method. Be sure not to miss all of the crevices so your Dyson is clean everywhere.
Step 4: Leave out overnight to dry fully- this may take up to 24 hours depending on humidity levels in your area. Once drained, you can replace screws and finish by screwing everything back together tightly as well as plugging the power cord back into place. Your Dyson should be as good as new! If you want an even deeper clean, try taking apart the Dyson cylinder for additional cleaning.
Tips & Warnings
– Use the process outlined above to clean all parts of your Dyson. Areas you should be particularly concerned with are where suction is initiated (filters, tubes) because this is where it will get the dirtiest first. If these areas still look dirty or clogged after you complete the other steps in this article, try removing and washing them separately.
– Be sure that you dry all parts before reassembling so there’s no rusting inside your Dyson.
– It may be best to avoid taking apart your Dyson if this is the first time doing so since it isn’t easy putting it back together.
– Be careful not to puncture any hoses if you stick a brush inside them because you’ll need to replace them.
– If any screws are stuck, try putting some oil on the threads before putting them back in place. This should help loosen them up so they’re easier to remove and clean later.
– Use an anti-bacterial cleaner for especially dirty Dysons that may have picked up dirt or germs from various surfaces around your home! Just be sure not to use too much of this cleaning product as it can damage the Dyson motor over time.
