We also liked how easy it is to empty the Shark – especially as this is a process you’ll follow almost every time you use the vacuum cleaner..

Use cold water rather than hot.. Never use cleaning products or detergents.. Never put the brush bars in a washing machine.. Don’t rub the brush bars too vigorously..Step 3: Allow Both Brush Bars To Dry.

It’s essential that both brush bars are completely dry before you refit them into the machine.. Any moisture left on the brush bars could get sucked into the vacuum, leading to serious damage to the motor.A damp brush bar will also attract dirt and may be the perfect environment for mould..The best way to dry the brush bars is to leave them standing upright for at least 24 hours.

Even after this time, double-check that they are completely dry..Step 4: Refit The Brush Bars.

Once the brush bars are completely dry, you can re-insert them into the cleaner head.. Start by placing the smaller brush bar back into position.

You’ll need to put the round end into position first, then push the other end (gently) until you hear a click.. To refit the larger brush bar, attach the end cap and slide it back into position.Understand the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive.

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment.(WEEE) directive has applied to European countries since 2007.

It provides rules for how retailers and manufacturers should approach disposing of old products.While the WEEE doesn’t apply to individuals, the rules it provides make it easier to recycle your old vacuum cleaner..
