How to change your vacuum cleaner filter bag?
Replacing your vacuum cleaner's filter bag is key to keeping suction strong. Different brands of vacuum cleaners (such as Dyson, Midea, Philips, etc.) may have slightly different designs, but the basic steps are similar. Here are the detailed instructions:
1. Preparation
• Power off: unplug the power plug first. If it is a cordless vacuum cleaner, remove the battery.
• Confirm the filter bag model: check the label or instructions on the old filter bag and buy the right model to avoid installing it incorrectly.
2. Remove the old filter bag
• Open the dust bin:
Most vacuum cleaners have a button or buckle on the side or top that can be opened by pressing it (for example, the red button on the Dyson V series).
Old barrel vacuum cleaners may need to unscrew or lift the top cover.
• Take out the old filter bag:
Disposable filter bags can be pulled out by simply grabbing the edge.
If there is a fixed buckle, press it first and then remove it, don't pull it hard.
3. Clean the dust bin (optional)
• Use a dry cloth or a small brush to sweep away any remaining dust in the bin.
• Note: Unless the instructions state that it can be washed with water, do not rinse it with water to prevent the circuit from getting wet.
4. Install the new filter bag
• Align the position:
The opening of the new filter bag should be aligned with the air inlet of the vacuum cleaner.
Make sure the filter bag is fully unfolded and not folded to the corners, otherwise it will affect the suction.
• Fix it well:
For the snap-on type, it is considered to be firmly installed when you hear a "click".
For the plug-in type, gently push it to the bottom without leaving any gaps.
• Close the lid tightly: The lid must be tightly closed, otherwise it will leak when vacuuming.
5. Test whether it is installed properly
• Plug in and turn on the machine, try to suck a few times, listen to whether the sound is normal and whether the suction power has recovered.
Notes
• How often should it be changed? Generally, families change it every 1-3 months. If there is a lot of dust, you can change it in advance.
• Bagless models: Some vacuum cleaners (such as some Dyson models) use washable filters, which can be removed regularly for cleaning and drying.
• Safety reminder: If you are allergic to dust, it is best to wear a mask when changing the filter bag.
Frequently Asked Questions
• Suction power has decreased? Maybe the filter bag is not installed properly, or the dust collection bin is not closed tightly. Check again.
• The lid cannot be closed? The filter bag may not be inserted properly, or there may be debris stuck. Clean it and try again.
• Can't buy a replacement filter bag? Go to the e-commerce platform and search for "vacuum cleaner model + dust filter bag", or buy a universal model (pay attention to whether the size matches).
