A vacuum cleaner is a useful and practical device that makes cleaning your home easier. However, not all dirt can be removed with it.
Some types of debris can damage your vacuum cleaner or reduce its effectiveness. Today, you'll learn which 5 types of debris you shouldn't vacuum and why.
Hair
Hair is one of the most common types of debris we find on our floors or carpets.
However, you should not vacuum them, as they can get wrapped around the brush or turbine of the vacuum cleaner and block their operation.
In addition, hair can clog the filter or dust bag and worsen the air quality in the room. It is better to collect hair with your hands or a broom, and clean the carpet with a wet brush.
Glass
Glass is another type of debris that can break your vacuum cleaner. If you break a glass or plate, don't rush to vacuum up the shards.
The vacuum cleaner may be damaged due to foreign objects getting stuck in the hose, dust container or causing damage to the brush or motor.
It is better to sweep up the shards with a broom and dustpan, and remove small glass particles with wide tape.
Ash
Ash is another type of debris that should not be vacuumed. Ash particles are very small, so it can penetrate into the vacuum cleaner and damage its parts.
It is better to remove the ash with a dustpan or a metal brush, and also wait until it cools completely if it is hot.
Sticky objects
Sticky objects such as glue, tape or chewing gum are also not suitable for the vacuum cleaner. They can stick to the brush or turbine of the vacuum cleaner and make it difficult for them to rotate.
In addition, they can clog the filter or dust bag and reduce suction power.
Small items
Small objects such as coins, paper clips, pins or other small items can also damage the vacuum cleaner.
They can get stuck in the hose or dust container, and damage the brush or motor of the vacuum cleaner, and they can puncture the dust bag. It is better to pick up small objects using your hands or a magnet.
