2. Soil, dry leaves

Though thorough, your home may still have dirt: when you break a potted plant, the children put on shoes after playing in the garden . If the soil falls on the floor, take a broom and wipe it off, When the soil is in the carpets, you need to use a small brush to clean them little by little.

In addition, the petals and leaves of fallen indoor bonsai can also get inside the engine, clogging the straws or filters. If these types of debris stay in the machine for a long time, it will moisturize and damage different parts of the device.

3. Hair

Human hair, animal hair when coming into the vacuum cleaner will very quickly clog the dust container and filter pads. When there is too much hair lying inside, the power of the machine can be significantly reduced, even immediately after a vacuuming.

Some wireless vacuum cleaners come equipped with a quick-rotating brush that will tightly curl the strands of hair, so removing the appliance may need to be removed.

4. Cosmetics

Cosmetics are considered to be one of the most dangerous enemies of vacuum cleaners because the powders and powders look dry but actually contain a lot of oils and fats and will melt under the action of hot air.

When they melt in the device, they will clog the filter. Once this happens there is no way to clean the filter, if you want to use the vacuum cleaner you just have to buy a new filter.

5. Shredded paper

Shredded paper, especially cellophane on the floor after manual pruning, is difficult to clean because they will fly everywhere. Many people choose a quick solution, which is to use a vacuum cleaner without even knowing that they can melt at hot temperatures, clogging the suction engine so quickly that the device gets too hot and the machine stops working.

6. Wet floors

It's dangerous to vacuum when the floor is too wet or suck wet food because it could cause an electric shock or short circuit.

If the floor is slightly wet, the vacuum cleaner still acts as if there are no problems but shortly after that, the wet dust will harden to the nozzle and filter causing clogging.

Worse than this dust and food will smell foul when using the machine.

7. Small glass beads

The small glass particles are so sharp that they can tear the filter bag, the soft parts of the machine and cause the dust particles drawn in from the front to fly back to the back of the floor.
