Every use

• Clean hair, fluff, string and other accumulated debris off the brush rollers.
• Check hoses for obstructions like lego bricks, buttons, hair clips and small toys.

Monthly

• For bagless vacuum cleaners, empty the dust canister.
• Brush the accumulated dust off any washable filters (do this outside) and wash them in a bucket of water.
• Wipe down exterior surfaces with a soft damp cloth.
• Replace the bag (for bagged models) when it's two-thirds full. Leaving it until it's completely full will affect the suction and your machine won't perform as well.

Annually

• Replace filters.
• Replace any frayed hoses and worn accessories.
