I have had my dc39 for a few years and it was strange because there was absolutely no owners manual to tell me any of this! I’ve been so frustrated because it’s disgusting! I did’t even know the clear plastic bin could be seperated from the purple part. I washed mine all of these pieces with soap and water! I am so thrilled for this bideo! Thank hou so much!!!

Thank you for publishing this video. It helped me locate the obstruction in an area in which I did not check. Turns out the obstruction was a tube of chapstick and assorted debris.

Great video. will be saving for future reference! great job!

The 7 minute mark saved my vacuum. Not sure why I didn’t think to check there in the first place. Thanks!

Another great video roger

Thank u a lot. Just inherited this vacuum and appreciate u r video

Thank you, very useful. Going to clean mine this afternoon

Thank you! This helped me out a lot!

I love your videos.

I didn’t realize that I could separate the bin like that for cleaning. Thanks for the tip.🇨🇦

Thank you so much. Great video...

Excellent! Thank you for posting!

Thank you for the video, I retrieved a DC39 someone had put out to the garbage. I found behind the canister screen caked on drywall or cement dust. It appeared that someone had used it for a wet vac. It had little suction when I got it. I blew out a lot of the dirt and soaked and washed some parts and others I wiped off. I think the head is clogged up and I'll have to try to clean it out.

Very helpful video, thank you!

Excellent video! thx

My grandma had one of these. Terrible canister vacuum, but better than most other Dysons I have handled.

This video was fantastic. Thank you. One thing I found out when I separated the bin from the purple part - I looked into the cone-shaped part of the purple and it was caked with dirt. I first took a swiffer and dusted inside all around it and then I tapped on it rather hard (not hard enough to do damage) and dirt literally poured out. So I took several more swiffers and pounding till it came sufficiently clean. I’m wondering if you could address this in another video. I’m supposing it was so dirty because I never separated it from the bin - never realized you could. So again thank you for your instructions.

i was waiting for you to show us how to get the hair off the roller

Thank you so much,exact same Hoover and exact same problem.phew put it back together before d wife comes home.

Very good instructions. I’m having a problem getting my vacuum to go from rug to bare floors. Can you help?

Figured out the big dust crust were building up interior of Vortex area. I just put light pressure water hose spray & clumps of built up crust fell out with much Grey water! Left in Sun to dry thoroughly.

I just followed you step by step, now my Dyson looks brand new. You really explained the process well. It still sounds like there's a piece of paper in it...I found none. ?

Own one of these and it needs this type of deep clean almost weekly to keep it running in a house that doesn’t have pets or excessive dust. The filter clogs so quickly and this stops the turbine head working, the vacuum loses suction rapidly, and the filter takes an age to properly dry. Often have to clean the vacuum fully mid-clean to keep enough suction for the turbine head to spin. From experience it can get this dirty after only a couple of full cleans of the house.

I had that vax that you had shown the video the thing that let it down was the floor tool and the plug i had to glue one of the prongs and then had to tape up the head but I soon got rid of that and got a 2017 commercial Henry

The trigger head had a fault inside mine got changed but bought another with red and blue brushes much better.Great vacuum though over 239 air watts.

Thanks so much~~ !!!! I love you!!!

Thanks very much but my filter just does not come out - should I force it

Thank you I just took it apart. Your video is very helpful. I have a question I find out some more screws for the top of cyclone unit. Do we need to take it apart too?

need a bit of help my dyson is starting to smell i have washed the filter like said in booklet but wondered can i clean the clear bin with washing up liquid can you let me know as it cost a lot and afraid to break it

got the same vacuum. thanks for this. i took the entire thing apart. its drying now. nothing significant inside the purple thing you said to unscrew. just holes and passages. rinsed it out and used dawn to help kill the smell. smells new now.

I’ve always kept mine clean but recently I’ve noticed fluff in with the filter I don’t recall this happening before. Do you know why? Thank you.

@12 min is there anyway to clean the mess screen? Can you remove it to clean?

I Got the new Dyson multi floor ball an it's got a very suttle suction to it it's not like my other Dyson with two normal wheels on

I vacuumed a large waterbug with my dc39 yesterday, but i did not see it in the canister. Is there another place it maybe lodged??

I bought a used one of these yesterday for £60, cheers for this vid! It didn't come with the tools shown here, just a flat brush head... Bet you've the cleanest carpets in the country! I have a mix of hard/carpeted floors so is it worth buying the turbo head attachment separately? Thanks!

I put fairy washing up liquid in the bath an dunk the shroud an give it a good frashing with water to get it super clean an leave it to dry on a towel overnight

Thanks for the video. I lost the user manual and had to search for it.

Brilliant video as always. Do you ever get an email from the people who own the holiday homes you stay in thanking you for leaving them with much much cleaner carpets and an improved vacuum cleaner? You deserve a free holiday!

mine used to never get dirty until i disassembled it for a deep clean. i mustve installed the seals wrong because now i get dust all over the filter.

<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="295">4:55</a> The dust lining the inside of that area doesn’t matter as no air flows through that area. That is just where the smaller cyclones dump dust, it’s normal for that to be dusty but it doesn’t affect the performance of the machine.

Roger, I have a question about roller brushes on different vacuum cleaners. Are some brush rollers better than others?. For example my shark upright seems to skim across my thick living room carpet, picks up quite well but I just get the feeling the shark brush isn't that great on my living room thick carpet, take the shark upstairs & vacuum my bedrooms' thinner carpets and its a different story, you can really feel the shark brush working hard and picking up. My Vax upright brush works great on any carpet, think carpet or thin. Both vacuum cleaners (Vax & Shark) are in great condition. Thanks in advance.

I was cleaning my dyson and a piece of paper towel got sucked in the motor ball and shut off on me..im trying to open it up but im not having any luck...what should I do...

Thank you

Thanks alot

ibaisaic What is the best carpet washer in your opinion please let me know as i need to get one

Oh my gosh... when you're cleaning the actual main cylinder part of the filter, you really need a can of air to get all of the dirt out of the center of it. If you don't have a can of air, you need to buy one or you will never get all of the dirt out of it. I actually use my air compressor! that is the only and I mean only way the dirt will come out of this machine. I ended up selling mine because it was so incredibly hard to clean. But if you are in love with your Dyson DC39, invest in a good can of air to clean that center cylinder! Also it comes in handy for cleaning all of the attachments as well. I can't believe he wouldn't suggest that!

I know it's not shown in your video, but do you happen to know how to remove the bottom part of the plastic bin? Just I have fully stripped down, fully cleaned and replaced the motor and both filters on a DC39 which had been used by a builder! (It was VERY bad) and there is dirt lodged in the small sections near the hinge on the bin and I cant get to them with out removing that lower section of the bin.

I should have watched this before I cleaned my vac. I sprayed water down into the purple cone part of the canister because it was so dirty. Do you think it will be okay? I love this vacuum and will be crushed if I killed it. 😭

I washed my filter two days ago and it's still damp! arg! Other Dyson model filters dried much faster!

unfortunately I didn't get the information I needed, not much anyway lol I need to know if you can hose down the purple turbine looking thing and why does that one piece have the kitchen sink logo all over it?

Darn. Was looking for how to clean the cyclone... there s a ton of fine dust stuck inside mine

mine doesn't turn on. HOw dod you fix this?

How take out a cleaner????

What's the filter for?

Actually the DC39 and DC37 has a design fault that causes the filter to get dirty very quickly. Almost every unit I see in my workshop has this issue, If you pull the cyclone apart you will find that the gasket has failed. The gaskets used in the DC39 are substandard and will fail in 5 years typically. I have not seen this issue in any other Dyson models

Can u use any detergent to clean ur filters?🤔

It has one in the vents in back.

I like this model of Dyson. Btw this Dyson replaced a Henry

Some of the DC39 come with the muscle head

How take out plastik bin??? What press? The red button not working

W.O.W.

A shop vacuum use the blower function on it

Dysons do look very nice when they're clean, especially when they're new, but they soon get dirty and nasty looking. That is one of the many reasons I prefer my bagged machines, far less maintenance.

cleaning a Vaccum cleaner on the carpet...well done....otherwise its great video...

When you see a DC39 filter like that you know the cyclone gasket HAS FAILED. This is a design fault. You can replace the gasket.

At <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="120">2:00</a> you take the bin off. How exactly did you do that? I push the red button nothing happens. It doesn't separate like that. The reason I ask is that i have the 2 second problem. I turn it on. Air sucks in through the wand and hose like it is suppose to and then a valve of some kind shuts off that air flow while the motor continues to run. I am suspecting a problem in the bin and main body and not out in the wand and hose. There is a pile of dirt and lint in the bin. That is the one problem with KZfaq maintenance videos. Everything come apart like it is suppose to in KZfaq videos. Real life is sometimes a little different. In your video, the camera angle shows your hand over the bin and blocks my view of what you are doing. Since I am not Clark Kent with X-ray vision, I don't know EXACTLY what you are doing to make that bin come off.

Good video, but I have to ask - how do people actually let their vacuums get THIS nasty before cleaning/sterilizing everything? Haha. I wouldn't wanna touch anything in my house with that thing. And like AHHH you;'re just brushing that dust onto your carpet and into the air inside your home, go outside or into the garage to do this! Shit's nasty :P

@<a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="444">7:24</a> cleaning Dyson needed another Dyson...Strange

Some people...

How are u ok mate hove a good day mate are u ok mate hove a good day mate are u ok mate form greg Bouchard

I think i am early

"This part can't be submerged in water." *Looking at mine currently swimming in the sink* Oops... Did I just kill my dyson?

2train lolllllllllllllllllllll

Don’t forget to change the HEPA filter. Oh wait you gotta remove the motor first because like all Dyson’s this thing is stupid

Strip the motor body apart and you will find a large paper style filter & its renewable only NOT washerable plus its pricy to replace, Sorry Bro this was only half the job on your vidio , also strip the cyclone to clean it then its all as new..

See; it's getting behind the mesh I want to do because there is a lot of dust in mine and now I've seen it I can't unsee it. It's driving me mad. Never buying a Dyson again.

Why would you clean the inside the house good video but very Democratic if you ask me you should be cleaning that vacuum outside period

cleaning filters, I understand that. But, cleaning all the internal surfaces is a waste of time. Those areas will be dirty again the first time you use it after cleaning it.
