How can I replace detergent for washing vacuums
Cleaning agents are not always good for washing vacuum cleaners of all brands - so, it is recommended to use a specialized composition of the same name with existing equipment.Otherwise, you may encounter many problems.
But enterprising and economical housewives use washing powders and other cleaning compounds for cleaning with a washing vacuum cleaner. The main problem in this case is increased foaming, which is dangerous for technology:
- negatively affects the electric motor;
- reduces filter performance;
- Does not support all suction power.
To avoid problems, you can use a special antifoam along with simple cleaning compounds. But if it is not at hand, you can apply the following mixtures:
- dishwashing liquid and salt in an amount of 1: 1 - first add liquid to hot water, and then extinguish the foam by slowly adding salt;
- add starch and a little sunflower oil to the used powder - the method perfectly reduces foam formation, but after cleaning it is necessary to wash the vacuum cleaner itself with water and a fat-soluble agent (with dishwashing liquid);
- add a few drops of vinegar to the powder - this method allows you to kill odors, so it is used most often.
Especially resourceful housewives use alcohol or ammonia along with a small amount of powder, some add vodka to achieve a disinfecting effect.
From the above it follows that the choice of a detergent composition for a washing vacuum cleaner is taken seriously - this is not only cleanliness in the house, but also mandatory prevention of equipment. Often you have to face a problem when changing a cleaning agent. To avoid this, it is better to use "folk" methods for the manufacture of the solution.
