#3 Likewise with the Vacuum

Yep, you would be surprised just how many people forget to clean their vacuums regularly, or change the filter! If your vacuum isn’t able to pick up as much dirt as it did when you first bought it, you should look into the filter. Moreover, if you don’t empty the vacuum after you use it, not only will the suction power decrease but it will also blow dirt and dust right back into the carpet through the bent.

The solution here is easy: empty the vacuum immediately after it becomes full and make sure you wipe down all the attachments with a damp cloth after you unplugged it! It serves a double function as you will also make sure your vacuum lasts longer.
