Do you have any questions about how to extend the life of your vacuum cleaner?
A repaired bag is also much more likely to split as it fills up.. Numatic do sell re-usable bags though.These have a zip to allow you to empty the bag before re-using it.

They can also be washed on a gentle cycle, which is important to prevent dirt accumulation..While a re-usable bag does save money and reduce waste, it also allows allergens to escape during the emptying process.For this reason, we don’t recommend them for people with allergies.. Summary.

A Henry vacuum will function without a bag, but doing so isn’t recommended..The bag provides filtration, which maintains air quality, protects the motor, stops the secondary filter from becoming clogged, and maintains the vacuum’s performance.

Numatic also advise that the Henry should be used with a bag..
In short, if you want your Henry to provide maximum suction and last a long time, you should always use a bag!Does your vacuum cleaner make the whole house smell of dog?How to Maintain Your Shark’s Brushrolls.
While many Shark vacuums have the company’s anti-hair wrap system, string or hair can still occasionally get caught around the bristle brush..If you can remove the bristle brush on your Shark vacuum, then take it out before using scissors to snip away any caught hair.
If you can’t remove the brush, then you can just take off the floorhead cover to cut away the hair while the brush is in position.. It’s also worth noting that some Shark vacuums, including the NV801UK, come with a hair removal tool.This is usually found in a small compartment in the floorhead.
