How to Vacuum: step-by-step guide

Vacuuming picks up dirt you cannot see. Work in rows so you do not miss spots.

  1. Pick up toys, cords, and small objects from the floor.

  2. Plug in the vacuum and turn it on.

  3. Push the vacuum slowly forward, then pull it back over the same path.

  4. Work in overlapping rows across the room.

  5. Use the edge or attachment along walls and under furniture.

  6. Turn the vacuum off, unplug it, and empty the canister or change the bag when full.

See it first. Go with confidence.

Hi, I'm Iris! Tell me what you're looking for: a place to preview (like "Park Library" or "a dentist office"), a specific city (like "Lansing, MI" or "Petoskey, MI"), or a how-to video (like "tying shoes" or "self-checkout"), and I'll find it for you.

Or browse all tours or the video library.
