Mum reveals easy cleaning method that could save your vacuum from malfunctioning
- Replies 7
When it comes to household appliances, there's nothing more frustrating than when they malfunction.
This was the case for Kait, a mum who thought her vacuum cleaner was on its last legs when it began to switch on and off while making an unusual pulsing noise.
However, she discovered a simple cleaning method that not only fixed the issue but also extended the life of her vacuum.
Kait initially believed that her Dyson was broken and even considered purchasing a battery replacement.
However, she soon realised that the pulsing sound was an indication that the vacuum's filter was clogged, blocking the airflow.
'If your vacuum sounds like this... the solution might be as simple as cleaning the filter,' Kait said.
Over time, microscopic particles can accumulate in the filter, reducing the vacuum's performance, and according to Dyson, users are advised to wash the filter at least once a month to help maintain the suction power.
Kait's revelation led her to share her experience and the simple cleaning method she used to fix her vacuum.
'The story of how I fixed my beloved vacuum simply by cleaning it,' she said.
In her video, Kait demonstrated how she washed the filter and thoroughly cleaned the vacuum's bin to remove all dust.
She told her followers: 'Learn from my mistakes and never waste money on replacement parts until giving your 'broken' object a deep clean first.'
After allowing all the parts to dry overnight, she reassembled them, and her Dyson was as good as new.
Kait's video has become popular, with over 2.7 million views and many viewers confessing they thought their vacuum was broken after noticing the unusual pulsing.

'We were about to throw our Dyson out! Cleaned the top filter, and boom, works like new,' one viewer commented.
While another added: 'This is so helpful. My Dyson has been doing this a lot lately! Thank you for sharing!'
'I had the same problem. I don’t know why, but I decided to wash that filter and it worked fine. Been doing it ever since,' a third revealed.
Kait's story highlights the importance of regular maintenance for household appliances. Vacuum cleaners, like any other machine, require regular care to function optimally.
The filter is a crucial component of a vacuum cleaner. It traps dust and allergens, preventing them from being released back into the air. Over time, these particles can build up, causing the filter to become clogged and the vacuum to lose suction power.
In addition to cleaning the filter, it's also important to regularly empty the dust bin or change the bag, depending on your vacuum model. A full bin or bag can also reduce suction power and cause the vacuum to work harder, potentially shortening its lifespan.
Furthermore, regularly check the vacuum's brush roll and remove any hair or debris wrapped around it. A tangled brush roll can strain the vacuum's motor and cause it to overheat.
Regular maintenance can extend the life of your vacuum cleaner and save you from unnecessary expenses. So, before you consider throwing out your 'broken' vacuum, try giving it a thorough clean first.
