My Dyson Vacuum Cleaner DC17 Allergy model pulls out a lot of carpet fiber. Will it ruin my carpet eventually?

vacuum cleaner
jr asked:


I bought a Dyson DC17 vacuum cleaner (Allergy model) and each time I use it on my wall to wall carpet, it pulls out a lot of carpet fiber. There is no height adjustment feature and I am afraid it will eat up my carpet eventually. I have a nice expensive carpet and I am afraid this vac cleaner will ruin it.
Any advise?

Is there any way to get rid of vacuum cleaner smells?

vacuum cleaner
Jooooo asked:


Recently, our vacuum cleaner has started producing a really musty smell every time we use it (quite reminiscent of dog, despite the fact we don’t have one).

Are there any ways of getting rid of the smell from the hoover itself? We’ve tried changing the bag and I’m not fond of air freshners - if you ask me, they smell worse than the hoover!
Wow, thanks everyone - some really useful tips! I shall definitely be trying out a few of these things.

Cheers!

How can you find where there is a leak in a vacuum cleaner hose?

eternal_goof asked:


I’m trying to fix my Eureka vacuum cleaner (model number 4495a-1). It is a bagless vacuum and nothing that I vucuum up makes it to the cannister. All of the debris sits in the part of the hose that runs from the brush area through the base of the vacuum. Hope this makes sense. Anyone know what might be wrong?? Could it be a leak in the hose?

jenzee asked:


Help! I parked my vacuum cleaner in my bathroom for a few minutes and the rubber bottom left this greasy looking mark that won’t go away with simply washing or scrubbing the area with a soft cloth. Any ideas?

Can you vacuum your dog’s coat with a vacuum cleaner to get rid of fleas?

Alexis B asked:


My dog has fleas despite the fact that I treat him with flea medication, give him garlic pills, and regularly vacuum the house to break the flea cycle. Can I vacuum his coat with a vacuum cleaner? Did anybody try that on their dogs? Will the fleas be gone? Would vacuuming the dog’s coat hurt him?
