How To Change A Vacuum Bag

Anybody who has owned a traditional vacuum cleaner knows the frustration of bags for vacuum cleaners getting filled from dirt, dust, and other filth. If you have never changed one before, you may not know exactly what to do. Here are some steps on how to correctly change one to avoid any confusion.

1. The first thing you will want to do is to lay out some old newspaper to cover the floor in the event dirt accidentally spills out. This can be especially necessary for the event that bags are overfilled or if the machine itself is an older model.

2. 
   The next step will be to access the chamber of the vacuum. This can be done by either unzipping the fabric bag that the vacuum bag is enclosed in or by removing the hose from the top plastic receptacle. Take caution to not spill the contents of the vacuum cleaner bags everywhere. If you accidentally do so, this is the reason you have laid down newspaper on the floor.
3. 
   The next step in the procedure of changing vacuum cleaner bags is to remove the bag from the vacuum in a very gentle fashion. This will aid in the process of not spilling the dirt everywhere. Take extra care to not poke your fingers through the bags for vacuum cleaners.

4. Once you get vacuum bags out of the vacuum safely, you can just shake it over the nearest garbage can. This will ensure that the dirt is disposed of in a proper fashion. If you are curious about which kind of bags to use, you can always get vacuum bags at any "big box" mass merchandiser. They will almost always have the best prices but they may not have the expertise on the product.
