Dyson’s detangling system is aimed at pet owners, but we think it’s a useful feature for people with long hair too.

There is usually a separate small button, but check your manual if you’re not sure how to do it.. Once the clear bin is separated, clean it with a microfibre cloth that’s slightly damp.You don’t want to soak the interior of the canister, but some moisture makes it easier to remove caked on grime.

Make sure it’s allowed to fully dry before reattaching it to the vacuum..The cyclones also need to be cleaned, but you shouldn’t use water for this.Instead, wipe away dust, dirt, and pet dander with a dry microfibre cloth..

: Dyson recommends not using any air fresheners or detergents to clean the bin.These could be sucked into the motor or other parts of the vacuum, causing potential damage.

You also shouldn’t immerse the cyclone in water or run it under a tap.. 3.

Clean the Filters.This type of suction loss will increase gradually as the clogging gets worse..

If you can’t work out what’s causing your vacuum’s suction loss, take the time to check the vacuum hose, wand, tube leading into the dust canister, and anywhere else where there might be a hidden blockage.You may need a torch and a pair of tweezers to remove the debris..

Sometimes blockages are deep inside the hose.If this is the case, detach the hose from the vacuum, hold it straight, and shine a torch through it.
