Empty / Replace the Dust Bags Regularly

One of the easiest and quickest ways to maintain your vacuum cleaner is to empty your dust bags regularly. You may also replace your old bag with a new bag. Most people think that bags should be emptied/replaced when it got full. However, to keep your machine work at its best is to remove the dust when it gets 2/3 full not when it is completely packed with dirt. Dust particles require space in the bag to enter and if the incoming particles don't find space in bags they will not work efficiently.
One more thing you must keep in mind is to make sure that your bag is not fully packed. One sign which indicates that your bag is full is if you cleaned the debris from an area and you see the debris again present there. This happens when no room for dust particles and it escaped out other signs is when the vacuum cleaner does not work efficiently in sucking debris.
                     
                                                             

Make Sure the Bag is Properly Attached 

The next step involves maintenance make sure you have attached the dust bag back to the vacuum properly. As there are a lot of models with different techniques and brands in the market. It may difficult to remove or attach the bag in a place especially for those who are going to use machines for the first time.
The method of attaching the bag may different model to model. There are some hooks, clips, and holders to attach them firmly in place. If the bag is attached loosely the dust could not enter the dust bag instead of filling the inner machine of vacuum which will adversely affect the working of the machinery and result in the malfunctioning. It becomes impossible to clean the machine efficiently.
Make sure that you are buying the bag of the model you have because every model has a different type of bag thus it becomes very difficult to adjust it.

Empty Bagless Model

Although here we emphasize on the cleaning of the bag containing model but now a little notice on how to clean the debris and dust from the bag fewer models.
Many bag fewer machines have a marker indicating when to empty the receptacle. But this would be convenient to empty the bag even if it nit reached this marker. Don’t let the dust and debris settle within the unit. And depending on the type of bagless unit you have, you may even want to rinse out the receptacle with water to ensure all of the dust has been removed.
Obviously if you have emptied your bag now you'll want to clean your filters. You can simply knock the filter to dislodge any attach debris or some tiny particles. Then you can take your finger, or any other object that isn’t sharp, and remove dust from in between the slats of the filter. 

Clean the Brush Roll

This step is very important in maintenance occasionally you'll want to check out the brush roll of your vacuum cleaner. Over time different things get wrapped around the brush roll and it may cause clogging of the roll. These things usually involve hair, feathers and threads.
Now the point is how to remove this debris. There are two ways to remove the rolls either by simply clean while it is in place or by removing it. It's upon you if you feel easy in removing roll. Although both methods are easy by doing the second one you'll able to give it a deeper clean.
The roll may differ from model too model, most have roll attached by plates. For this type you'll replace the plate and then by sliding the rollout. Now gently pull off the objects wrapped around the roll.

                                                          

                                                               

Check the Belts

After checking the roll you have to look at the belts. Belts hold the roll and keep it in place. If the belt gets loose, stretched, etc with time. This will cause the roll to slide out of pace and may get damaged.
Generally you have to look for your belt timely and replace it every six months. However it depends on the frequency of which you use your vacuum. If you use every single day then it gets necessary to replace it after a few months and if you use once a week or once a month then it won't be essential to replace it. The life of a belt also depends on for which purpose of cleaning you are doing.
If you do replace the belt you can do so by removing the roll and then sliding the belt off and then sliding the new belt on. It is very easy to do manual.

                                                                    

Clean the Filter & Hoses
