Dust Bag
Dust bags play a very important role in the efficiency of a vacuum cleaner. The purpose of the dust bag is to trap dirt. But at the same time the bag fabric must be porous enough to allow air to pass through. If the bag fabric becomes clogged, no air can pass through the cleaner and no cleaning can take place regardless of how powerful the unit is. To keep the cleaner operating at maximum efficiency, empty the dust bag frequently. Some fine particles can restrict airflow very quickly and will decrease performance even before the bag appears to be full. For that reason, when vacuuming carpet fresheners or cleaners, powder, plaster dust, or similar fine substances, the bag may need to be emptied more often.
How To Empty Dust Bag
