Disposable Vacuum Cleaner Bags

There's a reason they're called DISPOSABLE. Change disposable bags when 1/2 full and never try to empty and reuse them.

Vacuum bags are made of filter paper which trap dust particles and allow the air to pass through. As the pores of the bag become clogged, air will not pass through freely, reducing cleaning efficiency and making the vacuum motor work harder with the possibility of overheating. The now clogged bag has lost most of its filtering capability. Incoming air and dust can force the dust that is in the pores of the bag into the motor and back into the room.

Emptying and reusing a disposable bag cuts cleaning efficiency by 50 percent or more. The pores in the filter paper are full which blocks air flow, thus reducing cleaning efficiency. The quality of the filter paper combined with the quality of manufacturing determines not only the price of the bags, but the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner.

All of the vacuum bags at A Plus Vacuum are made of microlined paper or HEPA-grade filtrate material. These are the best quality bags—far better than the single-ply paper bags sold in grocery stores or discount stores. And they cost the same! Plus, you can select from a choice of over 80 different types of bags for all makes and models of vacuum cleaners.

In the long run, bargain-priced bags sold in discount stores or supermarkets cost you more in vacuum repairs and devaluation of carpet and home furnishings. If your vacuum is not cleaning efficiently, it allows the sand and grit to build up at the back of your carpets and in furniture causing excessive wear. A Plus Vacuum sells only quality replacement parts and supplies. We can save you hundreds of dollars!

Keep a supply of vacuum bags on hand and you’ll be able to change the bag when it’s full.

Vacuum Cleaner Belt

Why change your vacuum cleaner belt every 3 months? Your vacuum's cleaning efficiency depends on it.

What is the purpose of the vacuum belt?

The drive shaft or motor pulley turns the belt which causes the brush roll to turn and provides the necessary agitation to deep clean your carpet.

After about three months, the belt has stretched, causing the belt to slip on the drive shaft. This means the brush roll turns slowly or not at all. The vacuum still picks up the easily seen surface litter, but the sand and grit at the base of your carpet starts to build up, causing excessive carpet wear.

The quality of belts varies widely. If your new belt is too loose, again the brush roll will turn slowly, if at all. If it is too strong or tight, it puts excessive wear and strain on your motor and bearings which can cause damage, needing repair.

It only takes a minute to change a vacuum belt, but it can save hours of cleaning time and effort. Let A Plus Vacuum help you select the right belt for your vacuum. And let us install the belt, as well. The proper tension will make all the difference in your cleaning efficiency.
