Just a couple of the many tips that I have for vacuum cleaners.
So, what’s the clogger king?
HAIRPINS, BOBIPINS!
I service vacuum cleaners and the number one thing I find in the hoses of clogged vacuums are the hairpins that end up lodged sideways there because the spinning brushroller underneath the vacuum separates the pin and everything that follows must somehow travel around the pin. It’s usually a small piece of cardboard, or a matchbook cover.
REMEDY?
Get yourself a magnet and skim the floor first. You can also get a magnetic strip that goes across the front of the vacuum online at any vacuum cleaner parts supplier.
Now, for the filters.
Hepa’s CLOG! FAST! The vacuum cleaner manufactures know this and they screw you out of your money. PERIOD!
Hoover uses ELECTROSTATIC MEDIA to make their filters. So you know what they do. 99.97%…
SO DO THESE:
A TEN PACK OF 4" X 11" ELECTROSTATIC REGISTER VENT FILTERS- cut-STACK-glue
COST?
.79
where? Lowe’s in the furnace filter section.
Thank You!

Now as far as the long blond hair? If you get a carpet rake available at an online store called Hesco ( at hescoinc.c..) they happen to have a very nice carpet rake that has a cool "icee" blue 18" wide plastic front with several flexible metal tines and a wooden handle. I get their catalogs and this rake is on their "big savings type page" I think it is around -. These rakes work great to pick up hair and other small fuzzy build, especially from brand new carpet. In the end it will save your vacuum cleaner too.
While I’m here I’ll also mention the best ways to clean your carpet.

The BEST way to MAINTAIN a carpet is with a Kirby shampoo set-up on a Kirby vacuum cleaner. If it’s very dirty,I clean carpet for a living & use a big heavy SPIN-BONNET cleaner (looks like a buffer- BONNETS are "SLOWSPEED" machines, where as buffers are typically "HIGHSPEED".
For the BEST CLEAN always call a company that 1st Bonnets THEN Extracts
