HOW TO CLEAN A DYSON ANIMAL UPRIGHT BALL VACUUM | VACUUM DEEP CLEAN | IN DEPTH CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS

[@DillonCleans]

I’m a vacuum collector and technician and have many Dysons. Usually the average Dyson owner doesn’t know how to properly clean their vacuum but this is wonderfully done and explained perfectly. If I ever need to send someone a video on how to clean their Dyson, I will send them this video. Again wonderful job and a new subscriber here

[@MesseswithMichelle]

Thank you so much!

[@MIKMUR]

My HEPA filter has a bunch of black soot like substance. I can run my fingers on it and it comes off. Water does not rinse it off. What would be the best way to get that off? Or should I just get a new filter?

[@Esther-kq7nv]

Thank you very much for such an amazing video! I recently got a refurbbed Dyson Ball Animal Pro Upright vacuum. I wish I had seen this sooner, but today works! 😊

[@mikemcnamara3777]

That sucks.

[@ShoreShihTzuNurs]

Hello! Do you recommend a video to clean the inside of the hose? Ty

[@jscrcustomknives479]

You just made me husband of the year! 😎 Also saved me a few hundred bucks on buying a new vacuum! Thank you so much! Ours wouldn’t work at all and we were gonna toss it and buy a new one. Now, it works like brand new!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

That is a amazing! I’m so happy you were able to get your Dyson up and running. Thanks for watching!

[@sungirl2656]

Thanks to this video I fixed my Dyson Animal!!!! It sucked up a baggie ??? It soundalike an airplane and would turn off after a minute!!! after washing and changing filters I took the head off and bingo!!! It Work like a charm now, thanks sooooo much!!! You have a new subscriber!!!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

That is awesome! I’m happy the video was helpful to get the baggie out. Thank you for subscribing and watching!

[@Cruzdeonnaify]

Thank you so much! I just found this this vacuum cleaner sitting outside of a trash can and it works! it looks like it just needs a good cleaning. Being a single mom I cannot afford a $300 vacuum cleaner so I am super excited to give this vacuum cleaner a deep clean! Thank you again for the video.

[@MesseswithMichelle]

What an amazing find!

[@ollinca369]

@@MesseswithMichelle how would you clean the small wheels, is it even possible. Thank you for the super detailed video.

[@Headlock_Gonzo]

For 2:09 there's like big chunks in the mesh. How do you clean those out? If i could take the t off it would come off easy but that's the only part I couldn't get to.

[@edbee816]

I never knew you could detail clean these vaccum! Thank you so much This video still holds up 2023.

[@angelat17]

Thanks for this video! Small additional tip- I use a seam ripper (typically used for sewing) to clean the hair out of the brush- I personally find it easier than scissors. Thanks again!

[@lisaszymanski8363]

Great idea! Especially because of the natural curve of the seam ripper to prevent any damage from being done to the roller! Thanks for the tip!

[@bfrog6676]

lol I bought my Dyson in 2018 and just stumbled across this video. I had no idea it had filters. Yes I'm a guy. Great instructional video!

[@donnaw7]

Thank you for this! I'm a visual person, the step-by-step was very easy to follow! I can't believe the amount of hair I got out of my machine lol. This is my first Dyson, love how you can break it down to clean it and not having to buy filters every few months.

[@MesseswithMichelle]

You’re welcome! I’m so glad my video was helpful to get your Dyson clean. It is a nice feeling when the cleaning is complete. I didn’t use my vacuum for a couple of days after cleaning it just to be able to see the vacuum clean for a few extra days 🤣. Thank you for watching.

[@carloscesaralvesartdesigns8142]

I have to say that this is by far the best video I have seen explaining how to clean the Dyson vacuum cleaner!! Super clear , step by step not allowing any room for mistake !! I will definitely recommend to many people ! Great job !! And Thank you !!

[@JerryHarris-vf4io]

This is by far, the best video I have ever seen regarding cleaning a Dyson. Great job!!

[@redefv]

My wife is Dyson, and I am Shark. This video helped me. I like to maintain our vehicles and tools. I had no idea how to breakdown a Dyson. Great info!

[@Jack-sb8jf]

I moved into an apartment with old shag carpet. This video was a lifesaver to make sure my Dyson is in peak working condition for these pesky floors! Thank you so much!

[@Mhougan2]

I’ve watched this probably ten times throughout the years… so very helpful!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

That is amazing! I’m so glad the video is helpful. Thank you for watching :)

[@cowanderer8307]

I came here to find out how to clean the filter, ended up cleaning the whole thing - deep clean. Thanks for this video.

[@violethendrickson6080]

I’ve watched several videos and yours is by far the best very clear, well explained, and you showed us everything we need to know! Thank you so much!

[@benedictfernandes7500]

Very well explained - after following your instructions my cleaner worked much more effectively - thank you!!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

I’m so glad my video was helpful! Thank you for watching. 😀

[@2000dbarton]

This video is amazing! No wonder my Dyson still smells like a stinky dog! Because I wasn't completely cleaning it! So glad I found this video.

[@jhbidwell]

This is a masterpiece video that has saved me over and over. Once again, I feel like I have a brand new dyson!!!!

[@winnowbevy]

We have 3 dogs; a husky, an american eskimo, and a bassidor. Needless to say, we use our dyson animal every day. This was soooooo helpful ❤❤

[@cindyalvord9946]

This was the BEST tutorial I’ve seen, for cleaning this awesome vacuum cleaner! Thanks so much. My vacuum went from a stinky, dusty mess, back to its “almost” new condition. Great job on this tutorial. :) Thanks so much. ☺️

[@smarieasian]

Wow! Had no idea the cleaner head comes off. I will be following all of your steps. Thank you!

[@idontcare1481]

My new Dyson has no red parts at all. Most are gray now but you’re giving me great instructions and I’ve almost got the whole thing apart. It feels so good that I did this all by myself. What a great feeling! I can’t thank you enough. I subscribed and can’t wait to see what else you got. Thank you!! NOTE: To anyone who reads comments first, you need a paint brush, very slightly damp rag (not dripping just barely damp) and a screwdriver.

[@MesseswithMichelle]

I’m so happy the video is helpful! Thank you so much for subscribing.

[@anio1349]

My Dyson must be older, it doesn't have the same structure. I inherited it, and I never had the instructions or a manual. It is an upright, meant for pet hair . The purple filter is a flat, round disc. And the cyclone can definitely be rinsed. I'll have to check if the ball comes off 🤔 Very glad to find your video!

[@haileym9769]

This was so helpful! 👏 😊 Thank you! I have always stalled cleaning my Dyson vacuum because I didn’t know how to- you have taught me a ton.

[@michaelstack299]

Thanks Michelle, the video was easy to follow and helpful. Also, I find your "O's" adorable.

[@kristines7677]

This was an excellent, informative, easy to follow, and extremely helpful video. Thank you so much!

[@missnaomiivy]

I had no idea how to clean my dyson apparently! Thanks for sharing, I will be trying this on mine tonight!

[@maryackerman5474]

Thank you so very much. I have neglected the deep cleaning of my Dyson animal upright ball vacuum and it needed the cleaning badly. Your video is so well done that it made it much easier for me to complete the deep clean.

[@KirkBeaulieu]

Oh dear gosh! I had no idea until today how t clean my Dyson Animal! Thank you so very much!

[@daniellenolette3324]

So helpful, educational, love how you do steps for both taking it apart and putting it back together. Just bought one repurposed and can’t wait to get it shiny clean like yours!

It will be a great feeling when your vacuum is nice and clean. I didn’t use my vacuum for a few days after cleaning it because it was so nice to see it clean for a change LOL. Thanks for watching!

[@PaulWalesArt]

So appreciative of you sharing this. Ordered a replacement part (tank) and was trying to remember how to pull it apart for cleaning. This got it done in a little under 5 minutes and I didn't lose my mind! Thank you!

[@MarionFavor]

Thank you for creating this video. It is just what I needed to show me how to clean my Dyson.

[@margaretpratt5963]

All right, how many of you are here to clean your vacuum before the Occupational Therapist comes to teach you how to vacuum without hurting your hip? 🙋‍♀️. This was so easy to follow, did most of it sitting down.

[@mandolin5374]

Thank you so much ! I found a Dyson ball in the dumpster ! I’ve cleaned it up using your video and I now have a perfectly good vacuum for my studio!

Oh no! I really hope cleaning your vacuum will help remove the smell. I also have a video how to deep clean the cyclone to help remove any deep residue that may be lingering in the cyclone. Crossing my fingers the videos helps.

Just cleaned mine. I gave two small Dogs. The hair is insane. Thank You

[@TechWithMarc]

Hey there! Awesome clean! Nice little extra cleaning tip I found out yesterday! Where the rollers hook to the thing in the middle, you can take the prongs off either side with a torq or hex screwdriver, nice little hiding place I found a bit of wrapped up fluff and hair. Also in the same wave, the rollers themselves, the black side of the rollers, you can take off and clean the plastic caps and around the roller inside (Don't take the grease off of the bearings though) hiding places everywhere! I was shocked how much had managed to get into those hidden places. :) x

[@susantierney5436]

Used the leaf blower to blow out the dust the cyclone part. Looks almost new. Thanks.

[@billalexander8011]

Thanks for making this video. It was very helpful in cleaning out my Dyson "small ball".

[@lisaszymanski8363]

Thank goodness i googled how to clean a Dyson. You would think the company would have more than just pictures to clean and care for this expensive vacuum. I have had this device for over a year but only used it twice (yes i have cleaned during that time...with my old vacuum, lol) because i could not find good info on the Dyson site. Much appreciation for this, and the next video, Michelle! I did remove a rubber gasket though, and am not sure where it goes. It's shaped like a donut. 😢

[@ashash7351]

If it is black doughnut .. it goes on one side of the round filter at the bottom of the vacuum cleaner..

[@philiphurban9498]

Beautiful job I will be cleaning mine soon. It’s just as dirty as yours maybe worse. I have a German shepherd and the dust is caked on the vacuum. Thanks for the video

[@MesseswithMichelle]

Thank you! I’m glad you enjoyed the video. It’s so satisfying to see the end result after the vacuum is cleaned. I have two dogs as well and the canister is always packed full of their fur. After cleaning the Dyson cyclone I felt the suction was a lot better. Happy Cleaning!

[@vicaroo001]

That was great. Now to find a video on how to get that screened part cleaned out.... mine is caked with animal dander!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

Thank you! I just realized you already watched the video. LOL. I hope it helped. I just used a paint brush to dust out the screen. It can be tricky to get all the dust and debris out of the screen.

[@keli1972mingo]

You can put that entire part (cyclone?) under the faucet and rinse it. I rinsed mine in the bathtub, tons of dirt came out of that thing!

[@MesseswithMichelle]

@@keli1972mingo the cyclone can hold onto so much dust. I couldn’t believe how much was coming out. It is definitely satisfying to see the after result after taking off all the dust.

[@Thomas1954]

Is there a reason why the cyclone cannot be run under water and dried out like the clear canister or filters? Good, clear video, thank you.

[@MesseswithMichelle]

I avoid using water to prevent any water getting into the nooks and crannies and not drying properly causing dust to get gummed up next time I use my vacuum.

Thank you for this I just got a dyson from a loved one who has passed away and wanted to thoroughly clean it. I appreciate your video. I will wear a mask and gloves for the dust. If I have to do it inside I will use plastic for floor protection. Maybe a can of air to blow the cyclone screen would help since it cannot get wet?

[@MesseswithMichelle]

You’re welcome. Wearing a mask is a good idea. I had a lot of fine dust in the air when I cleaned out the dust bin. An air blower will work for sure to get out the dust from the screen. Thanks for watching!

[@sux2bu883]

Just my $.02, I have a air compressor They are not all that expensive but the return is worth it. After each use of sweeper I blow out all the filters , bin, cyclone and vacuum head. The purple cyclone collects a lot of fine dust particles. When you lift out the cloth filter you will see several ports and at the very bottom of the cyclone is a round hole. This is where you use the air compressor It will blow out tons of fine dust from the ports the large hole at the bottom and the mesh screen. This also keeps that sweeper odor away. The air compressor will blow dust from underside of refrigerator air up your tires blows off dust from sanding on wood projects and clean your sweeper.

[@juliebaker1112]

I’ve been trying to figure out how to clean out the dust that collects INSIDE the cyclone. This didn’t work for me but I’m not giving up lol.

[@sux2bu883]

@@juliebaker1112 Your welcome . My wife said a air compressor is a necessity. We use it every week just for the vacuum alone. Now that winter is coming our tires will loose a little psi so we air them up. No need to go some where and pay what ever it cost at a convenient store. Family and friends stop by and you notice a tire is a little low . Well you can fix that problem. If you can request a Christmas gift. A decent compressor will set you back + or - $150 and up. Something else is a portable air tank ~ $40-50 bucks which you can fill up and take it with you. My brother in-law seems to always have a low tire or a flat. The portable tank will fill the a car tire or a truck enough to get it to a repair shop. It may seem like I'm a tire salesman I'm not . I do a lot of repairs and work in my garage on my stuff and family that's all for now. Have a Happy Thanksgiving and a Merry Christmas.
