Vacuum Cleaner Maintenance & Bags Guide – Illawarra, South Coast & Southern Highlands

Regular vacuum maintenance keeps your machine performing at its best and extends its life – whether you are using Pacvac, Nilfisk, Karcher, Numatic Henry or another brand. RapidClean Illawarra (Rapid Supplies online) stocks vacuum cleaners, bags, filters and spare parts for commercial and domestic users across the Illawarra, South Coast and Southern Highlands.

Why vacuum maintenance matters

• Maintains strong suction for better cleaning results.
• Reduces motor strain and helps avoid breakdowns.
• Improves dust control and indoor air quality.
• Helps you comply with cleaning standards in commercial environments.

Basic vacuum maintenance checklist

1. Change the bag regularly: do not wait until the bag is overfull – replace it when it is around two-thirds full.
2. Clean or replace filters: check pre-motor and exhaust filters regularly and replace according to manufacturer recommendations.
3. Check hoses and wands: clear blockages and inspect for cracks or splits.
4. Inspect power cords and plugs: take damaged cords out of service and have them tested and tagged.
5. Look after floor tools: clear hair and string from brushes and rollers.
6. Store correctly: keep vacuums dry and out of high-traffic areas where they can be damaged.
