Tips
- Empty your Dyson vacuum any time it reaches the max fill line on the side of the canister. If you continue using your vacuum while it’s full, it may not have enough suction to effectively clean your home.Thanks
- Hold the garbage bag tightly to the sides of the Dyson canister to help prevent dust and dirt from floating out.Thanks
