Cleaning Your Shark Rocket Vacuum Cleaner
If you choose not to clean your Shark Rocket vacuum cleaner on a regular basis chances are that there will be unpleasant, dirty odour. The cleaner will also sound weird like its grasping for air, and it will ultimately lose suction. When cleaning your vacuum, some of the things that shouldn’t be overlooked include the rotating brush, canister and filters.
1. Cleaning Rotating Brush
When cleaning the rotating brush, you should begin by unplugging the vacuum and lay it on the floor so that you can have a good look at the brush. It is advisable that you place a towel or bag underneath to collect any dirt or debris that you are about to release. The strings of hair tend to get wrapped around the brush, and it’s advisable that you a pair of scissors to cut whatever wound itself around the brush so that it’s easier to remove. You may be required to tug and pull, but it will ultimately come off.
2. Cleaning Canister
The suction on the Shark Rocket vacuum cleaner is incredible. You will be collecting a lot of hair, food, dust and dirt and although the canister is a good size, it always fills up fast. The more the air that circulates inside the canister, the better, so if you realize that your canister is half full you should empty it into the trash. Although you will be emptying the canister on a regular basis, you should do more than that at least once every month.
You should open both ends if your model has that feature then wash it with soap and water. If you have a large sink fill it with warm soapy water, then use a long-handled bottle to get into the crevices. The canister doesn’t have any electrical connections so you shouldn’t be worried about submerging it in water. Once it’s cleaned and rinsed, you should place it outdoors to air.
