Welcome to the club!
Does this machine have a disposible paper bag/liner, or is it a dump out fabric bag? Either way, more than likely, the problem is the bag itself. Evidently Your bag is letting very fine dust blow out, and alot of it is settling on the vac itself. Yes, the Sanitaires are excellent suction and carpet beaters,,but how well does it filter? How much dust and dirt is being blown out the exhaust? Have you taken the bag off and washed it, changed the bag, ect ? Most vacuums need at least 4 plys of paper, or a Hepa type fabric or paper in order to catch pratically ALL of the dust that the vac picks up. (Water is another filter used in vacuums such as the Rexair Rainbow) If you have just a one ply fabric and/or paper liner, alot of the dust and dirt is blowing right out the exhaust and back into the room, settling back on the carpet, and the vac itself. Anyway, i dont know if Hepa type bags are avalible to fit your machine, but i would check if they are. If you were to Get at least 4 ply of some kind of Hepa filtering paper bags on the back (exhaust) end of the vacuum, it will help alot. |
