For any modern house wife or husband, the cleaning and vacuuming of the home is an important and reoccurring duty which all and every one of us has to do at some point. Since the advent of the vacuum cleaner back in the late Victorian times, modern machines have come a long way. Once pulled by horse and cart, the vacuum cleaners of old are not so such dissimilar to the modern compact concept which graces the cupboards of most UK homes nowadays.
The old, Victorian vacuum cleaner concept did not utilise any kind of vacuum cleaner bags like we know today however, back in these times it was perfectly acceptable to simply expel waste onto the streets, and as such, the vacuum cleaner machine and horse would remain outside the property and long hoses would be extended in and throughout the home, workers would then position the hoses around the room, the suction would be generated by a hand pump on the machine, often powered by young boys, the vacuum cleaner came to fame as the Victorian Home was a dusty place, chimney sweeps would knock soot and dust about the home, and as the popularity of carpets and floor coverings were growing increasingly popular in Victorian Britain people now saw it easier to have the travelling vacuum cleaners come to them, rather than removing the carpet and beating it outside with carpet beaters.
Looking at your modern vacuum cleaner, replacing the bag in these machines is indeed a task which is best done still today; outside. The dust which will escape from in and around the bag always proves tiresome and tedious to contain, be sure it isn't a windy day, and if you are the owner of a ‘wheelie bin' you can open the lid of the bin and discard the bag and content in here. Often, modern vacuum cleaners feature and easy or quick release on the bag compartment, simply pull the lever, but be sure not to apply too much pressure as to snap it, with the amount of times the empty bag catch breaks on a vacuum cleaner, it is worth being careful when pulling this lever each time, as over the long run and the life of your vac' you may have to purchase a new release lever for this part of your vacuum cleaner, be sure you always choose a genuine manufacturer vacuum cleaner spares for your machine, as cheap replacement parts may not stand the test of time at all.
A quick search of the internet will reveal to you a bunch of suppliers who stock vacuum cleaner bags for all and every conceivable make and manufacture of vacuum cleaners, remember though when searching that a ‘hoover' is a brand of vacuum cleaner, so build this into your search to find the specific branded part you are looking for, for example; vax vacuum cleaner spares could be someone seeking a spare for their Vax machine, Vax Vacuum cleaner bags or hoover vacuum cleaner bags, there are many stockists to choose from when using a search engine, so be sure to check your supplier is a reputable one, be sure they are sending genuine parts and not more expensive than anyone else… Once you have found your chosen site, save the name of it so you will now next time you need more vacuum cleaner bags, where to look as you have already researched it this first time round.
