Vacuum Cleaner Blowing Out Dust

Australian researchers tested 21 vacuum cleaners from 11.

Vacuum cleaner blowing out dust.

While the simple answer is that if your wet dry vac is blowing dust into the room it typically means there is an issue with the filter and it needs to be investigated. If a vacuum cleaner draws air in it must also blow air back out. If an upright cleaner is spitting everything out it means that the brush roller is ejecting everything. Some vacuums have hoses that connect to the blower motor one for inlet one for outlet.

Although the filters should deal with it a torn vacuum cleaner bag will also allow the dirt and dust to simply blow through the machine. But yours might not be filtering air correctly. There are two ways this can happen. Check to see that your bag is reasonably fresh empty.

An overfull or old clogged bag will not capture dust as effectively. Certain vacuum cleaners spit fine dust and bacteria back into the air where they can spread infections and trigger allergies. Pull as much of it out as you can and discard. To fix a clog in the vacuum whether it is a canister or bag use your finger to feel for a clog.

To fix a clog in the hose feed one end into a garbage bag and poke the other end with the back of a mop pole until you push the clog material out into the garbage bag. Make him vacuum for a week as punishment. Also check the seal that seats the bag and make sure it s well connected. It sounds like your bissell has this and he flipped these around so that it s now pulling through the filter and blowing out the power head.
