How to Change a Bag on a Vacuum Cleaner?

f your vacuum cleaner isn't picking up dirt very well, you might be able to improve its performance simply by changing the bag. The process must be done carefully to reduce the chance of making a mess and to ensure that the vacuum cleaner continues to operate efficiently. If you want to learn how to change a bag on a vacuum cleaner, follow these tips.

Unplug the vacuum cleaner. You don't want to accidentally turn the appliance on while you're replacing the bag. If you do, you'll be spreading dirt you've already vacuumed up. You'll have to vacuum up the mess, and you'll still have to replace the bag.

Examine the bag while it's attached to the vacuum cleaner. If the bag is more than half full or is bulging at its base, it's probably time to replace it. Newer units may have an indicator light that illuminates when the bag is full. A full bag tends to recirculate old dirt inside the system, making it harder to pick up debris inside your carpet. The position of the bag depends largely on the type of vacuum cleaner.

• Upright vacuum cleaners: Most uprights carry the bag inside a zipped pouch that is attached to the appliance's handle. Unzip the pouch to access the bag.
• Canister vacuum cleaners and shop vacs: The bag in each of these models is usually inside the plastic body of the appliance, which is separated from the hose and powerhead attachment. Release latch along the front or back edge of the vacuum cleaner to open the unit and access. With some shop vacs, you might have to remove the hose from the base before opening the appliance.
  
  

  Remove the full bag. Once you have the unit opened, you can replace the bag.

  • Most models will have a spring holding the top of the bag in place inside the unit. Guide the spring upward until the top of the bag is free.
  • Hold the top of the bag and gently pull it off the vacuum line. Be careful to hold the bag along its cardboard top, where the hole for the vacuum line goes in. Otherwise, its contents can easily spill.
  • Gently pull the bag out of its plastic housing. Release the latch that holds the bag in place and lift the bag straight out.
  • Put the old bag in the garbage.
    
    

    Put in a new vacuum cleaner bag.

    • Slide the new bag into the plastic housing. Make sure the bag is sitting in the proper position, with the top in line with the vacuum line. Adjust the bottom of the bag in the housing so dirt can collect properly.
    • Lock the bag in place by depressing the latch.
    • On units with a spring bag holder, place the top of the bag around the vacuum line and guide the spring downward. Make sure the spring is at least 1/2 inch (1.27 cm) from the top of the bag, holding it firmly in place.
    • On many canister vacuum cleaners and shop vacs, simply close the unit when you've replaced the bag. Reattach the hose. The hose will have a male end that goes into the bag securely.
      
      TIPS

• Most new vacuum cleaners have filters that help trap fine particles. Consider replacing your vacuum cleaner filter periodically.
• Under normal conditions, you should change a bag about once a month. If you have children and pets, like dogs and cats, you might have to change your vacuum cleaner bag more frequently.
• Consider buying a bin vacuum. With these types, the dirt collects in a plastic receptacle instead of a bag. Bin vacuum cleaners tend to cost more, but you won't have to buy new bags every few months. Emptying them also is much easier.
• Make sure you match your vacuum cleaner bags to your model. Bags are given a letter designation based on the size and type (upright, canister, hand-held, etc.) of appliance.
