...When repairing/restoring a new vac, or do you use an air compressor to blow out the debris?
Personally, I prefer to use an air compressor on a windy day outside and blow all of the debris and contamination away. If you use a vacuum, then you have to deal with the accumulated debris at a later time, and who knows where its been! |

I have a cheap bagless central vac which I have a 30' hose on it outside in the garage which I use to clean out other vacuums. This is convent because I only have to empty it probably 2 a year so I don't really worry about. The times I use an air compressor is when there is dirt and dust stuck in crevices where a vacuum can't get to and nor I can wash it.

I vacuum my vacuums. I use either the Filter Queen, or Rainbow when doing so. More so the Rainbow as it is easy to just dump and flush the sludge when I'm done, and don't have to worry about critters escaping into my home.

I've only vacuumed one vacuum cleaner. My Kirby G5 had a FILTHY outer bag when I got it and I vacuumed it with my Electrolux 1205 but it never got all that clean and it was damaged besides, so I eventually gave up and replaced it, sending the G5 down the path to becoming a FrankenKirby.
My Filter Queen was so filthy when I got it that I scrubbed the lower bucket with a toilet brush and PineSol. Hey, ya gotta do what ya gotta do... |

I've vacuumed my vacuum, never washed my daily driver washer because it never needed it. I have washed other washers before before bringing them into the house or giving to my sister. |
