In addition to checking bags and filters, operators should inspect vacuum parts on a regular basis. Check brushes to ensure they’re not wearing down. Also check the brush roll for objects like string or hair. Belts themselves should be inspected once a week. Plugs and cords are often overlooked, which can lead to safety hazards. Moisture can cause dirt and dust to cling to the side of the hose, resulting in clogs and reducing suction. Most of your damage comes from trying to suck up things that shouldn’t be sucked up. Most odours are caused by mold and bacteria that grow inside a filter bag that is full of dust and debris. The best way to control odours is to change bags frequently, especially if you vacuum anything moist, like food. You also need to clean or replace the filters regularly.
