My vacuum cleaner spits out dust, what should I do?
Have you ever wondered why your vacuum seems to have a vendetta against cleanliness? You diligently vacuum your floors, only to find a trail of dust particles left behind. It’s like your hoover is playing a cruel game of hide-and- seek with dirt. In this article, we’ll delve into the reasons behind this vexing issue and provide practical solutions. Whether you’re a seasoned vacuum user or a novice, we’ve got you covered. Let’s roll up our sleeves and tackle this dust-spitting dilemma!
WHAT’S THE PROBLEM?
WARNING
Before you do anything to your appliance, make sure you disconnect it from the power supply.
There is a risk of electric shock.
The dust bag is full
If your vacuum cleaner spits out dust, it's likely that the dust bag is full and needs to be changed. Don’t hesitate to empty it more regularly than you think is needed. Your bag can fill up very quickly depending on how often you use the device and the materials it sucks up. In addition, this will also prevent the development of bad odors! We also recommend using some drops of essential oil on the bag while hoovering to create a pleasant smell. So, start by checking the bag or the tank is not full. If this is the case, replace the bag or empty the tank. If not, proceed to the next step.

The brush or nozzle is clogged
Is the brush, nozzle or hose clogged? The brush roller and nozzle are in direct contact with the dust on your floor. It’s important to examine them and keep them clean after each use. If you discover a blockage, such as a ball of hair, remove it. If you can’t, replace the brush. As for the hose, this is the flexible plastic tube that connects the rigid hose to the body of the vacuum cleaner. If a clog is in the tube try to dislodge it with an unfolded metal hanger or broom handle.

A cut hose or improperly interlocking tube fitting
By dint of handling your vacuum cleaner, it is possible that the tube or hose connections will wear out! This causes them to split or puncture, which can cause air leakage. Visually check that the vacuum cleaner tube or hose is not split or cut, so that air is escaping when its on, and that it is also properly positioned at both connective ends. If you find a gap leaking air, then replacing the damaged element will solve the dust leakage problem.
