Answer 4

As long as its rinsed well so that it doesn't dry hard and clumpy, I don't see why not? It's not like the cleaning solution is getting sucked into the vaccum?

Answer 22

I do yes with fabric conditioner  because I have a dog and water just don't cut it for me but wouldn't recommend

Answer 23

Answer 24

Yep! I take it all apart including filter. Clean them, put them in a zoflora and wash down after and just let it dry, make sure they're fully dry before replacing

Answer 25

I wash mine in plain water under running tap, any detergent will make it tacky eventually. (I've got dogs)

Answer 26

I always washed mine with soapy warm water

Answer 27

Mrs hinch did a hoover clean on her Instagram the other day, I'm sure she used soapy water, I'll check the highlight in a mo, she definitely said make sure it's fully dry before putting it back in tho xx

Answer 28

Whatever you wash, make sure you leave it for 48hrs to dry, I learnt the hard way and put back the filter after 24hrs. I had to buy a new body for my shark.  

Answer 29

Anything other than water voids the warranty for any part of the shark hoover

Comments

@pent128 yes, u will see little tabs to take the front off then u will see one to take the roller out

@pent128 the end of the roller (grey bit at top of pic) should say "pull here" or "release here" something like that on it?

Yes as long as it's completely dry before using it again xx

Answer 39

And a man gives cleaning advice  dont listen and wash it. Put a squirt of fabric conditioner on and wait until it's very dry before using x

Answer 40

They suggest just water x

Answer 41

My fella told me I couldnt strip my shark down and wash all the parts too . Funnily enough I know the difference between what parts come into contact with any electrical parts or risk any water getting near I stripped every part of my shark would wash it all every part , just ensure you pop it on a radiator and dry before using again

Answer 42

DO NOT use fabric conditioner or Zoflora. Apart from it being dangerous, they actually don't clean as they contain no surfactants.
