"Air-Way 88" cleaning Hello! You can take the whole base and scrub it down with Mr Clean, Simple Green or Pine Sol. Dry it out and it will smell clean when you use it. Use HOT water. Soft Scrub will work well also. Whatever it takes!! | ||

Thanks Tania & Andy.. Also, can this motor be replaced with a newer non-Air-Way installed motor? I understand that the original motors were easily ruined by non-genuine Air-Way vacuum cleaner bags. Was that an internal chamber design or motor design result? | ||

Hello Tania!
A big help, as always! Garry, washing out the motor fans should do the trick. They were not so much ruined, but no Bypass vacuum motor was made to handle havi g dust run through it. The Air-Way wood cellulose bag was superior at the time, so paper bags are no match in filtration. Using the Simplicity HEPA bag will work even better. Make sure to remove the cord and switch, and all parts when you wash the machine. Best, Andy | ||
