Avoid Allergies and Asthma

• You can take a few steps to avoid aggravating any asthma or allergy problems you might have. For example, when cleaning picture frames and mantels, attach a soft dusting brush to your Dyson vacuum cleaner to remove dust without circulating it into the air. Use vacuums that are certified asthma and allergy friendly on rugs and carpets. Keep bathrooms and kitchen windows open for ventilation when you can to lower humidity and reduce mold growth. Air other rooms too, but keep them closed during the hay fever season to avoid inflaming allergies.
  
  

Turn Off Brush

• Turn the brush off on your Dyson upright vacuum when you want to protect a surface. Dyson vacuum cleaners come with a button that allows you to easily turn off the brush, which won't negatively affect the suction power on the vacuum. It's best to turn it off when vacuuming hardwood floors or harder rugs to avoid leaving scratch marks or pulling out threads. You might also turn it off when vacuuming ceramic or laminate floors to avoid wear on the floor.
  
  

Buy Reconditioned Vacuums

• Purchase a refurbished or reconditioned Dyson vacuum from a reputable dealer, as you may get an unlimited six-month warranty and a 10-year motor warranty along with the drop in price, which may be between 25 and 35 percent. You can find reconditioned vacuums on Dyson's site or other sites such as Amazon.
  
  

Keep It Maintained

• Keep your Dyson vacuum well-conditioned for a long life. Change the filter when it gets dirty and perform other maintenance the owner's manual calls for. Check the brush bar if the vacuum isn't working properly as it might be clogged. Look for a damaged power cable if the vacuum cleaner keeps cutting out. Get your motor checked out if you smell burning. Check the exterior of the vacuum regularly to make sure everything is working properly.
