How to Clean a Dyson Sweeper
Dyson vacuum cleaners are unique because they use a technology called cyclonic suction to remove dust and dirt from carpeting and other surfaces. If your Dyson vacuum cleaner becomes blocked or too dirty, the machine may overheat. A fail-safe built into the vacuum cleaner will shut the vacuum off if it becomes too hot to operate safely. If your Dyson vacuum turns itself off, allow the machine to cool before you attempt to clean it. Does this Spark an idea?

Rinse the filter and its case in cold water until the water runs clear. Do not use any soap or detergent to clean the filter or case.

Use a soft cloth or a soft-bristled brush to remove dust and dirt from the shroud at the bottom of the cyclone. A brush will help to remove dirt from crevices and holes in the cyclone. If you have dust allergies, put a plastic bag around the bottom of the cyclone and brush the dust into the bag.

Tips & Warnings
Check your filter regularly. Wash it at least every six months.
Empty the dirt collection bin each time you use your Dyson vacuum cleaner. If the collection bin fills to the "MAX" line before you have finished vacuuming, empty it to ensure the vacuum continues to operate properly.
