Why Filter Maintenance Is So Important?
Of all the parts in a vacuum cleaner, the filter is probably one of the most crucial parts.
Filters are responsible to ensure that the dirt picked up from the floor doesn’t end up flowing back out into open air.
Thus, the filter is indispensable in keeping the living and working environment free from any dusts or wastes.
The filter remains ignored by most unless the cleaning functionality of the vacuum filters is affected.
Continuous ignorance may also cause the vacuum to stop performing altogether.
The dust accumulated in the filter may interfere with the operation of the motor.
Over time the motor may die, and motor replacement is expensive.
Things to Know Before Cleaning A Filter
There are several kinds of filters about which one needs to know before going for the cleaning process.
They are foam filters, cartridge type filters, and high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filter.
To know the kind of filter being used in a vacuum cleaner, one should always go through the operating manual which is provided at the time of purchase.
Once the kind of filter used is known, we can carry forward to the cleaning process.
Steps Involved in Cleaning
Canister vacuum cleaners without bags make use of foam filters which catches the dust and debris. Foam filters can be cleaned using water and we must do is to submerge the foam filter in water. Squeezing the foam helps in removing the dirt. After cleaning the filter must be dried thoroughly before using it in the vacuum cleaner for major industrial purposes. High pressure jets and cleaning chemicals are used to set the main task in motion, for the industrial cleaners. that is the reason why they are also used in offices, schools and hospitals.
Dish filters and cartridge filters are generally found in handheld vacuum cleaners as well as in heavy-duty cleaning equipment. Cartridge cylinders are made of cylindrical paper material that is disposable. The debris which is caught up between the cylindrical pleats can be loosened up easily by tapping the cartridge gently. HEPA filters are made of tightly wound fibres, which when cleaned tend to whither off thus, making the filter less effective. HEPA filters must be utilized as much as possible until it needs to be replaced.
How Often Should the Filter Be Cleaned?
Vacuum filters for all types of industrial use and commercial use need to be cleaned at least once per week in case of heavy operating cycle, but generally, it is advised to clean the filters every month. A faster rate of accumulation of dust means the method of cleaning might not be suited for the filter material and one should try some other cleaning methods. Proper sales and servicing are always required.
Regularly cleaning the filters can considerably improve the life of the vacuum cleaner and can save us from burning a big hole in our wallets.
