One of my most popular articles to date has been how to clean a Dyson Filter, and after follow up from readers the one that I was missing seemed to be how to clean the Dyson cyclone.
Truth be told though it was less frequently a question of how to clean it, but more a question of is it safe to clean a Dyson Cyclone.
The answer is yes. You can feel relieved to know that there are no mechanical parts in the canister or cyclone that will or could be damaged from a routine cleaning. In fact a routine cleaning of your Dyson cyclone and canister is a good way to ensure that your vacuum cleaner will continue to run at its optimum level.
The process of cleaning the Dyson cyclone is very similar to emptying the bin of contaminants. With just a few steps and a few hours to let everything dry completely you will have your Dyson running and looking like new.
What you need:
Water
A mild detergent (dish washing soap is fine)
What to do:
- Unplug your vacuum.
- Press the canister release button.
- Empty any contaminants into a waste receptacle.
- Remove the cyclone component.
- Rinse the cyclone and canister in water.
- Allow time for parts to dry.
Always unplug your Dyson upright vacuum cleaner from the wall before removing any parts, especially when the use of water will be involved.
The canister release button is located directly on top of the canister. It is generally positioned for easy release with your thumb on top of the Dyson ergonomic handle.
Separate the canister and cyclone components by pressing the release button on the side of the container.
Warm or cold water should not matter. Clean with a soft cloth or sponge until the water exiting the cyclone is clean and clear.
Be completely sure all components of the Dyson are completely dry before reassembling your vacuum cleaner.
