How To Keep Your Shark NV360 Vacuum Cleaner Smelling Fresh

All vacuums, even the reputable  Shark navigator lift away deluxe NV360, will age gradually. At times, they will begin to smell bad. There are many reasons that cause bad odor in vacuum cleaners.

In this article, we will show you some reasons why your vacuum smells bad, and how to keep your blue shark vacuum smelling fresh all the time.

Why does your vacuum smell bad?

It’s always better to understand where the foul smell is coming from. In this way, you can know what you can do to prevent it in the future.

Here are some main reasons causing the vacuum cleaner to smell:

• Pet hair

Pet hair, or dander, can be quite smelly sometimes. If these are strapped around your brushroll or inside the vacuum cleaner, it will gradually cause a foul smell inside the device.

For houses with dogs or cats, it’s very likely that users accidentally vacuum the per hair and dust stuck with pet urine, which can add up an extra stink.

• Accumulated mold

If you don’t clean and wash your dust canister and filters regularly, there is a high chance of mold growing inside, which then leads to a pretty strong smell. Otherwise, when you are cleaning wet surfaces, moisture and wet particles can be trapped inside and increase the foul odor.

• Dirty filters

If your filters are dirty or clogged, the dust will not be able to be separated from the circulating air, which then causes humidity and dirt inside the dirt canister. Over time, the canister or dust cup begins to be the ideal environment for mold to develop and grow, leading to the foul smell and bad odor.

• Stuck object

Objects, particles, or pet hair sticking and clogging the intake valves are another source to cause the bad smell to your Shark navigator NV360 . These objects block the air pathways, which will not only lower the suction power but also grow the foul smell inside the canister.

How to make it smell fresh again?

Now that you identify the source of the foul odor, let’s take a look at some easy and efficient ways to keep your device smell fresh at all times.

• Empty the dust cup

To empty the dust cup, you can just unclick the latches on the sides, pull down, and slide the dust cup down. Once the dust cup is removed from the vacuum, hold the cup over the trash can and press the release button (near the bottom) to let go of all the dust and debris.

Then, open the top lid of the dust cup and remove any excess debris from the cone-shaped screen inside. Once everything is cleaned, close the lid and reinstall the cup back in place.

• Clean the filters

Over time, the HEPA filter gets dusty and can be clogged. The best thing about this Shark Navigator Lift Away Deluxe NV360 is that you can simply remove the excessive dust and rinse the filters under warm water. Keep rinsing the filter until the water becomes clear.

• Clean the brushroll

Pet hair or particles can be stuck onto the brushroll of the Shark Navigator Lift Away NV360. Thus, you should clean it frequently to avoid excess residue, which can eventually cause a bad odor.
