How To Clean Your Vacuum Hose

[@grogtgs]

thanks for this video. It's easy to understand. It's short. No long intros. No long commentary. Straight and to the point. I will be doing this tomorrow

[@HooverLux]

You’re absolutely welcome, I’m glad it will be of help for you. Good luck and stay safe.

[@jimmyjames6318]

I actually got a little excited and can't wait to try it out. This is a perfect solution. Thanks for posting.

[@HooverLux]

Hey Jimmy, you’re absolutely welcome, hope it works for you buddy.

[@LandRoverBae]

Thank you so much!! You have no idea how helpful this was for me!!

[@HooverLux]

You’re absolutely welcome, chuffed it was helpful for you 🤗🤗

[@foleyjp1]

great idea with the broom handle. Just need to figure out how to get it to stand up straight.... Thanks for this video.

[@HooverLux]

You’re welcome ☺️

[@danielernst007]

Best way is get Dawn dish soap. pour in hose.Fill up with water or submerge in a tote. let sit 5 min, then if you have a pressure washer, stick the wand in the hose spray until clean and go at it until clean takes about 12 min start to finish. No manual labor

[@HooverLux]

That’s definitely another good method 🤗

[@KirbyEnthusiast]

You know I’ve never thought of that very clever Dorian . I normally wash out with fairy liquid and warm tap running . Now I have a easier way and know it will be clean . Thanks so much for this .😀😀👍👍👍👍

[@HooverLux]

You’re absolutely welcome my friend, it works really good, you definitely need to do a Kirby video on it my friend.

Im here looking for a faster way to dry, I soaked the hose in dawn/water. went back & fourth moving water inside and just let clean water run thru it til clear. I may try using auto microfiber clothes over a broom such as you demonstrated and what I did before that was still not dry after almost 2 days was extending the hose held down by exercise bike etc I had my air cleaner blowing into it, figured there was "something" easier then even trying a hair dryer next haha

[@HooverLux]

The fastest way I can think of is using a hairdryer or a blower, they do take days to dry.

[@kay-ky7sq]

Thank you for this. I used Clorox cleaning wipes and tongs for my shorter hose

[@HooverLux]

Excellent!

[@tylermoore1105]

This is pretty genius. I've been trying to do just this for so long. What is the size of the pale you use for the water?

[@HooverLux]

Aww bless, thank you and hope it works. The pale size doesn’t really matter to be honest as long as the hose fits in it to soak. Good luck and please let me know how you get on 🤗

[@harrisonlemm1719]

I watched this video and ended up cleaning the hose on my old mk1 Dyson dc 40 Stay safe 🙏

[@HooverLux]

🤣, glad it worked for you, it’s real easy to do and comes up lovely after. Thanks Harrison 🤗

[@harrisonlemm1719]

@@HooverLux the hose doesn't look like how it did when I first got it but it looks much better

[@jayambermsp8000]

I have some DC07S and DC14S hoses. What I do if put all of them all in a big bucket with warm water and washing powder and leaving them to soak for maybe few hours help. Then afterwards rinse with clean water.

[@HooverLux]

That would definitely help clean them out.

[@michiel8003]

Careful if the hose is longer than the broomstick because the cloth will get stuck halfway up the tube. Learned the hard way lol

[@HooverLux]

If the hose is not a stretchy one, then yes.

[@Lori5564]

Good tip,thank you 😊

[@kmprnd31]

That is a great idea when it warm outside, when cold I have to clean inside. I have a 28 inch long tapered bottle brush to use (in a utility tube with hot running water) run water in hose, insert brush at each end and rinse. A few times of this and done, let dry in garage by hanging one end from ceiling and a weight on bottom end to stretch hose

[@HooverLux]

Thats one heck of a brush! Awesome idea too. 🤗

[@a.a674]

I usually soak them and use a long radiator brush to get all the gunk out,Then I hang them out the window while one end is attached to my Numatic NV250 or Kerstar so its hot air dries the hose, if its a standard fixed hose,I use a stuff dish brush and scrub the outside too

[@HooverLux]

That’s a good idea using the brush too.

[@PaulRestorer]

great idea. A very useful channel. Best wishes

[@HooverLux]

Thanks Paul 🤗, wish I had you’re skill at respraying, wish some of my projects were Corgi size 🤣🤣

[@elizabeth17950]

That is such a useful video. Thank you very much.

[@HooverLux]

Glad it was helpful!

[@JJxRach]

Very informative, now I can do it properly lol. Also congrats on the 4k, knew you could get there Dorian!!

[@HooverLux]

Hey JJ, thank you my friend 🥰

[@michaelblack3429]

Very good enjoyed so simple thanks for sharing

[@HooverLux]

Glad you enjoyed it 👍

[@A212K]

My rag got stuck in the middle of the hose. Tring to push it through has now just balled the rag up in place and it isn't budging. Any tips or tricks to getting it out?

[@HooverLux]

I very long nosed pliers? Contract the hose and use a long pliers to grab a bit and pull it out

[@jamesnave2670]

How do you get the rag out of it gets stuck?

[@HooverLux]

Only use thin thin rags

[@HB204]

What’s going on with the pond?

[@HooverLux]

Ah, the upper frame was rotting, so I had to reduce the above ground height, almost done ✅🤣

[@Kyplandor]

I have a rainbow vacuum. Do you think this will work?

[@HooverLux]

If you have any hose with electrical wire going through it or along it I wouldn’t recommend using this method at all. This would only be for hoses without any wires or connectors.

[@RAZER.MUSIC21]

Good video, I usually hammer the jet wash through mine. But then again my hose sucks up a lot more than the average person would attempt 🙄

[@HooverLux]

It does 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, love your channel!

[@RAZER.MUSIC21]

@@HooverLux thank you, likewise

[@thepurdychannel8866]

When i got my microlite i had to do this i used wipes and a bucket of soapy water and a brush

[@HooverLux]

Oh yeah, that’s a good way too 🤗

[@monikazaremba2726]

Thanx for this video:-) can I ask what vacuum brand is your hose? It looks so elastic, mine is very stiff.

[@HooverLux]

This was from a Dyson

[@asdfkle8]

did you notice any improvement on smell?

[@HooverLux]

Absolutely!

[@michaelbutcher3563]

What's the music used in this video, it sounds a bit like Mike Oldfield

[@HooverLux]

It’s just one I downloaded from Audio Library channel a couple of years ago. The song details are in the video description at the bottom.

[@angelinavespa7749]

I thought you couldn't get the hose wet? I watched another video where the guy explained why, I really didn't want to listen bc I was thinking how the heck do I clean it then, I'm not replacing it... please respond and tell me your hose was fine after you did this thank you

[@angelinavespa7749]

Oh btw I have a shark lift away one not a Dyson will that make a difference?

[@HooverLux]

Hi there, I’ve absolutely no idea why you couldn’t wash out the hose? I’ve done it to all my old vacuums that need cleaning out. I had so many messages about how to wash the hoses, that’s why I made the video. Unless the hose is braided material like the ones from 50 years ago, there is absolutely no reason why you can’t wash the hose like I have I done. All plastic hoses can be washed this way, follow the steps on how I did it, especially letting it dry out stretched out and is completely dry, you’ll have no issues. Although! It absolutely depends on the quality of the hose and you do it gently and don’t force the cloth through, you’ll be fine. Please follow the steps and let me know how you get on 🤗

[@HooverLux]

PS. Most of the restorers put the hoses in old pillow cases and put them in the washing machine 🤣

[@angelinavespa7749]

Thank you! I guess shark is just trying to get me to spend more money bc when I called them they said no but I did it anyway bc I was getting a new one and it still works I even sprayed the roller and it's fine... If I told shark they would gasp and be your lucky it didn't break jokes on them it works better now and I don't have to buy pieces

[@angelinavespa7749]

My vacuum isn't old the hose isn't that bad but I like my machines clean I still have my self cleaning shark in the box bc my other one is still going strong but I'm going to start following you bc you know your shit so I appreciate your channel very helpful

[@ashantijones6707]

My broom handle don't fit

[@HooverLux]

Awwww, that’s a shame, maybe a thinner stick or something would help.

[@Kubulek17]

Drying is usually the issue for me , it took 3 days of hanging and an hour with a blow dryer to try get the moisture out of a dc01 hose

[@HooverLux]

I hang it stretched and it dries fast, I use something to hold it open as you saw. 🤗

[@gregbouchard8353]

Well done for are videos on KZbin hove a good day mate form Greg
