washing dyson hoses?
« on: December 22, 2016, 02:43:46 am »
What is the best way to wash a dyson hose? I have heard people say washing machines but im afraid our enourmous GE commercial top loader will tear it apart.  :duh: any tips? Thanks.

Yes, put them in a room with a Dehumidifier, or keep them hot to dry them.

I would just put them back on the vacuum (after shaking till there's hardly any drips out) and just extend the hose and switch the vacuum out, there shoudln't be much water going to the bin except just a stream along the bin, it's safe. Don't vacuum water with a Dyson though.

Airing cupboard for 2 to 3 days dries them out
