2. Vacuums are a wonderful piece of equipment to have. Stop for a moment a visualize all the nasty things it picks up off your floor. Most of us do not change the bag unless it is full and those germs get to sit for a week or more growing bigger and stronger. Take the time after each vacuuming to wipe the exterior of the vacuum with a disinfecting wipe and spray the interior with the same type of product. Change you bag before it gets full and clean out all of the accessories where germs are more likely to hide unless you do not use a bag. This canister type will require a thorough washing with hot soapy water. Since the plastic is a nonporous surface, germs have an easy time sticking around.
