How to Deep Clean Your Dyson V10 for Maximum Performance

Keeping your Dyson V10 in top condition requires regular deep cleaning. While Dyson provides limited instructions on this, proper maintenance ensures optimal suction power and a longer lifespan for your vacuum. Here’s how to thoroughly and safely clean your Dyson V10 without unnecessary disassembly.

1. Gather Your Cleaning Tools

Before starting, have the following items ready:

• A second vacuum (preferably with strong suction)
• Microfiber cloths
• Q-tips (for hard-to-reach areas)
• A security T8 screwdriver (optional for deeper cleaning)
• Scissors or a brush cleaning tool
• Gloves (recommended for hygiene)

2. Cleaning the Dust Bin

1. Empty the bin by pushing the red lever downward.
2. Remove the bin by sliding it off the cyclone unit.
3. Avoid submerging the bin in water. Instead, wipe it with a damp microfiber cloth.
4. Use a vacuum to remove stubborn dust and debris.
5. If necessary, use a Q-tip to clean tight spots or unscrew the bin housing with a T8 security bit for a deeper clean.

3. Cleaning the Filter

1. Remove the filter from the back of the vacuum.
2. Shake off loose debris or vacuum it before washing.
3. Rinse under cold water only while squeezing gently until the water runs clear.
4. Let the filter dry for at least 24 hours before reinserting it.

4. Cleaning the Cyclone Unit

1. Dyson does not recommend disassembling the cyclone, but you can remove loose debris using a vacuum.
2. A leaf blower can also be used to push out trapped dust.
3. Wipe down the exterior with a damp cloth.

5. Cleaning the Torque Drive Head

1. Unlock the brush bar using a coin or screwdriver.
2. Remove the brush and clear any hair or debris using your hands or scissors.
3. Check for blockages in the intake path and remove any obstructions.
4. Reinsert the brush and lock it back into place.

6. Cleaning the Soft Roller Head

1. Unlock and remove the soft roller.
2. Rinse it under cold water, squeezing gently to remove dirt.
3. Let it dry completely before reinserting it.

Final Tips

• Always let washed parts dry completely before reassembling.
• Regular maintenance helps maintain suction power and prolongs your vacuum’s lifespan.
• If parts like filters or brush bars are too worn out, consider replacing them.
