You should clean the vacuum by wiping both the vacuum body and its attachments with a slightly damp cloth. Always turn the vacuum off when you are cleaning it. Never attempt to wash the vacuum under running water, or use any detergents or other cleaning solutions, as they may damage the vacuum battery and other components.   When cleaning the brush, make sure to carefully remove any entangled hairs or threads, and only use a dry lint-free cloth. Be sure to fully empty the dust collector of any accumulated dust, dirt, and other debris before using the vacuum again. When cleaning the filter, lightly tap on the filter basket and holder over a trash bin. You can also gently brush any debris out the filter basket, holder, and lid, or wipe them with a damp cloth.
