How to Remove Coke Stains From Carpet.

If your Shark has a HEPA filter, this may come in two sections: a pre-HEPA foam filter and the HEPA filter itself.These can both be rinsed in cold water..

Don’t panic if you’ve lost your Shark vacuum’s manual.Search on Google for “Model Name + user manual” to find a digital version..Step 3: Rinse the Washable Filters.

Start by tapping off any excess dust and dirt into a bin bag.Then gently rinse the pre-motor filters with cold water, before repeating with the post-motor filter.. You won’t be able to remove all the staining and you shouldn’t scrub the filter – the goal is to get rid of dirt and other debris that could block airflow.

Discolouring is completely normal for a vacuum filter.. Be extra careful when cleaning felt filters, as these are delicate.

You should never use soap when cleaning any of a Shark vacuum’s filters, as this could affect the filtration..Some vacuum cleaners tend to scatter larger debris across hard floors.

If this happens, you could be spreading smaller shards around the home..This is less likely on carpets, as the carpet fibres should stop the shards from being scattered, but it’s still a possibility.. For these reasons, avoid using your vacuum’s primary floorhead for cleaning glass if it has a rotating brush bar.

Instead, use a hose or wand attachment without a brush roll.. Higher Power Settings Are More Dangerous.The faster a shard of glass is moving inside the vacuum, the more likely it is to cause internal damage.. To minimise the risk, it’s a good idea to use your vacuum’s lowest power setting for the first pass, just in case you accidentally suck up a large shard.
