How to clean,unblock Shark anti hair wrap vacuum cleaner,step by step

To clean a Shark Anti Hair Wrap vacuum, follow these steps:
1. Unplug the vacuum: Before starting the cleaning process, ensure that the vacuum is unplugged from the power source to avoid any accidents.
2. Empty the dust cup: Locate the dust cup on the vacuum cleaner. Press the release button or lever to remove it from the main body of the vacuum. Take it to a trash bin and empty its contents. If necessary, use a brush or your hand to remove any stubborn debris stuck inside the dust cup.
3. Clean the filters: Shark Anti Hair Wrap vacuums typically have two types of filters: foam filters and HEPA filters. Remove both filters from their designated compartments. Rinse the foam filter under running water until it runs clear, then squeeze out excess water and let it air dry completely before reinstalling it. The HEPA filter should not be washed; instead, tap it gently against a trash bin to remove any trapped dirt or debris. Make sure both filters are completely dry before reinserting them into their respective compartments.
4. Remove hair from the brush roll: The Anti Hair Wrap feature in Shark vacuums helps prevent hair from tangling around the brush roll, but some hair may still accumulate over time. Flip the vacuum cleaner over and locate the brush roll cover. Use a coin or screwdriver to remove the cover and access the brush roll. Carefully cut away any hair or fibers wrapped around the brush roll using scissors or a seam ripper. Be cautious not to damage the bristles or belt while removing the hair.
5. Inspect and clean the brush roll: After removing the hair, visually inspect the brush roll for any remaining debris or blockages. Use a pair of tweezers or a toothbrush to gently remove any dirt or debris stuck between the bristles. If necessary, rinse the brush roll with water and let it dry completely before reinstalling it.
6. Clean the hose and attachments: Detach the hose from the vacuum cleaner and inspect it for any clogs or blockages. Use a long, flexible brush or a straightened wire hanger to remove any debris stuck inside the hose. Rinse the hose with water if needed and let it dry thoroughly. Additionally, clean any attachments or accessories that came with the vacuum using a damp cloth or by rinsing them under water.
7. Reassemble the vacuum: Once all the components are clean and dry, reassemble the vacuum by following the reverse order of disassembly. Make sure all parts are securely attached and properly aligned.
8. Maintenance tips: To keep your Shark Anti Hair Wrap vacuum in optimal condition, consider these maintenance tips:
- Regularly empty the dust cup to prevent it from overflowing.
- Clean the filters at least once a month or as recommended by the manufacturer.
- Check and remove any hair or debris from the brush roll after each use.
- Inspect and clean the hose periodically to ensure proper suction.
- Store the vacuum in a clean and dry area when not in use.

    Hi,something I never covered in my video 3 points is if yellow flexible strips on the main roller becomes damage or cut that area of the comb will not work and you get a large build up of hair, also there is a yellow plastic comb just under the main roller if that’s as anything trapped on it that area of the comb stops working. And last your small soft roller at the front might not been turning remove and check the end were the small metal pin sticks out look at we’re it joins the plastic you get a build up hair round the shaft also check other end for hair,this can slow or stop it turning. Hope this helps SJ

    Although vacuum cleaner and the short form vacuum are neutral names, in some countries (UK, Ireland, USA) hoover is used instead as a genericized trademark, and as a verb. The name comes from the Hoover Company, one of the first and more influential companies in the development of the device. It’s just the brand most common when I was growing up just always called them hoovers always will.
