I am seeking help/info on good quality vacuum bags for my Air-Way Sani-Clean. The machine has been a real work horse and I dread the idea of replacing it, however, finding quality vacuum bags keeps leading me to a dead end. I never had issue with the original Air-Way bags but once discovered, I much preferred the higher quality, I believe they were polypropylene bags that were more standard issue for the Vita-Vac and later, the Air-Tec.

At this point the only thing I am able to find is bottom of the barrel, single ply paper bags. Does anyone know of a reliable source to purchase better bags? Perhaps someone has a stash they are willing to sell or is anyone aware of a vac shop/dealer that might have a supply of old stock that I might be able to purchase.

Help, info or leads are greatly appreciated.

I either use Air-Tec Hepa cloth disposable bags in all my Air-Way cleaners, OR I make my own. It's easy. Just remove the plastic top to any newer (last 20 years) Air-Way bag, and keep it. Cut a cloth HEPA disposable bag (like a Simplicity type F bag) right below the cardboard collar. Insert into Air-Way. Flare bag ends over machine opening and insert plastic bag top. Fold ends of cloth disposable bag back over the plastic bag top and replace bag door. You've made your own HEPA bag.

Air-Tec sells their hepa cloth disposable bags in packs of eight, and those are the recommended ones. Making your own comes in a close second.
