Unlike most cordless vacuums, which have a canister near the handle, the Gtech compacts dust and dirt into a container in the floorhead..

Many Shark vacuum cleaners have an automatic shut-off system to protect the motor against overheating.When the vacuum detects overheating, the suction motor will switch off and the brush roll indicator light will flash red.. Here’s how to solve this issue:.

Turn off and unplug the vacuum (if you’re using a corded model)..Empty the Shark dust cup.Check all the inlets and outlets for any blockages that might have caused the vacuum to overheat.

Clumps of hair are a common culprit!.Check the filters for clogging and clean/replace them if necessary (make sure they are fully dry before putting the filters back inside the vacuum).

Allow the vacuum to cool for around an hour before using it again.. To prevent overheating, avoid overfilling your vacuum cleaner and don’t use it for long periods of time without allowing time for cooling.

It’s also important to clean your Shark’s filters at least once per month to avoid clogging..Wipe areas with mould or prone to moulding using a rag soaked in a solution of bleach and water in a 1:8 ratio..

Similarly, rust underneath the kitchen sink should also be taken care of.Apply a thick coat of baking soda paste on the rust spots.

Leave it for 30 minutes and scrub it with a nylon brush.. Susanita De Diego –.Complete Real Estate.
