Shipping a Hoover

[Green]

Random question, but how do we clean the hoover before it gets shipped? It’s quite old, but as we have space in the container, I thought it was worth bringing.

 Thanks in advance.

There is probably a youtube video on how to take apart a clean a vacuum cleaner.

I wondered about buying new parts from Syson for the bits that we can’t clean. Chucking the old ones on departure. The cyclone bit I’m thinking.

Hey John the hat - the problem with ours (Dyson) is that there are parts the water just wouldn’t reach and parts that wouldn’t dry. You know, right up in those cyclone parts.  We’ve actually replaced said part before (it got a crack in it) it was only about £25.

I followed this thread put both the cyclones and the bins and the filters (2 dyson hoovers) in the dishwasher, dried outside and came up a treat. Hubby well impressed with my (your) idea! Lol
