Is your hoover not working well any more? Do you feel your carpet dull and without life even after vacuuming? Think before you spend another £100 buying a new hoover!
Most of the times we do not manage to vacuum the carpet properly, leaving behind dirt and soil particles that will damage the carpet on the long run. How do you know if you are vacuuming your carpet properly?
Hoover on different directions. This will maximise removal of particles and dust.
Change the bag regularly. A full bag will prevent the vacuum to work well. Your hoover will need good airflow, so change the bag when is half full to avoid any problems.
Check filters and clean your vacuum. Dirty filters will not let the vacuum take all the dirt. Clean your vacuum regularly.
I agree, maintaining the vacuum properly will definitely increase its life-span.
