- If your Dyson V15 is pulsing or is not sucking up properly then it could be that it needs to cleaned or maintained. I show how to clean the vacuum to try and help with this problem.
I also show how to access the menus on the vacuum where you can access other options.

Thank you! So helpful. I find it humorous that Dyson would contact you to tell you what not to do while cleaning out the vacuum. Why don't they just produce their own official version and provide it like you, so we, the consumers, know how we can properly clean our equipment. We pay so much money to buy a cleaner from them, and their instruction manual is so minimal it is hardly useful. Their online tutorial is very lacking as well.
Agreed like their instructional videos are not even practical for everyday dirt
If we clean according to their videos our vacuums would get messed up and then we’d have to replace them
Disagree, I knew all of this from the Dyson instructions that took two minutes to watch compared to this long drawn out version
I also disagree, when you watch the video from dyson and look into the manual for more than 1 minute, all cleaning is explained and even the secret menu will be no secret to you ;)
Totally agreed I also paid huge amount for this useless cleaner when it’s unclean
Exactly, Dyson’s instructions are not good!!!!
Cannot believe that people questioned where your demo was taken place and what you were wearing. Great video!
This was EXTREMELY helpful! We’ve had our for over 2 years. Religiously wash the filter but never knew you could remove the plastic canister. Was going to take it in for servicing but no longer need to. Working like new! 🎉
First thing I do is remove battery before I clean mine so I don't accidentally pull the trigger with it in pieces. Great vid!
Thanks for posting this. My Dyson was losing suction & giving it a cleaning, following your instructions, fixed it. So happy to be able to avoid a costly repair.
If you have hardwood or tile floors use the green light soft brush attachment. The floors will look completely clean until you put the green light on them. Then you see all of the dust and hair that is really there. It’s amazing and now we vacuum in the dark with the green light on. 😊
Literally just used this vacuum for the first time today and the green light my the dog hair light up like Christmas. That vacuum head literally pickups everything
can confirm, its almost frightening to see how dirty the hard floor actually is
So good
I managed to shake out at least 1lb of dust from the inner part!!!! The banging with the brush against the unit helped lots.
Excellent tutorial. I clean my V15 with an air hose, I take the unit and accessories outside and blow it with a compressed air hose. Another method is to use another vacuum to clean the V15.These are just some alternatives to your methods
I don't understand much English, but with the demonstration I was able to disassemble my vacuum cleaner. thank you very much!
Extremely helpful! Just bought a V15S Submarine and wanted to make sure that I would be cleaning it as recommended by the manufacturer. Many thanks!
Thank you so much. I bought a second hand one of these without any instructions and bits missing. Very informative and just what I needed.
My family use the machine to collect food powder, it made me mad because it will attract pest and become moldy when food powder keep storing inside. No one gonna clean it, and I do it myself, spent two days to get most of the food powder and dust out. Thank you so much for the video, I installed it back after cleaning and it works normally! I don’t know why but you sounds like a good father who are teaching us how to wash the machine, your voice make me feel safe and comfort. Can’t believe I can wash it by myself, I learn it from zero and proud of the result. Thanks again.
This is great to hear that the video was helpful for you. Thank you for the kind feedback 😊
Cannot thank you enough!
Step by step demonstrations are indeed helpful : I was able to clean mine and that is an achievement.
That's great to hear 😀
Thank you for that video!!! I just got my Dyson V15 and could not find an instruction manual online. Now after watching your video I feel confident to use it and clean it and am exited for this new household gadget.
Great to hear this was useful for you. Thanks for the great feedback and good luck with your new vacuum.
I just bought mine today wooohoooo it's charging for the first time ⌚️ .. waiting now
In the RUclips video that Dyson made on cleaning the filter, it says to partially fill the filter with water then give it a few shakes back and four, then put down and LEAVE FOR 24 HOURS before putting it back onto the vacuum. I found the rest of your video Very informative to especially since I have a longhair cat and a lot of hair does accumulate. Thank you for this in-depth video. It was quite informative. Thank you!
No problem. Glad it was useful for you
Thanks so much!!! Really, really helpful. I like the way youbexplain everything, as well as the demonstration. I've just brought this model & the only thing i dont like about Dyson is that you dont get manuals & the online ones they provide are very basic & not detailed like yours at all. Perfect 10/10!!!
Thanks very much for this feedback, its always appreciated.
I have not had a chance yet to watch your entire video. I just wanted to thank you for part just after 24 minutes. Once you demonstrated it, it was easy to slip the canister back in place.
No problem glad it was helpful for you.
Thanks for showing how the filter goes back on. Other videos I've watched only show taking it off, which wasn't helpful. Will come back and watch again when I next clean it.
I've had my Dyson V15 for a few weeks and found this video very helpful. Your explanations are clear and easy to follow. Thanks a lot.
Glad it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback
Very well explained. I learned a lot. Initially I was afraid to tackle it but the video made it look simple. Well done.
Thanks very much for the great feedback
Well presented, easy to follow. This makes a great reference, being able to learn how to clean the unit and watch it being done. Your speaking manner is pleasant and clear. Very informative video. And I like your white shirt. Really.
Thank you so much for this in-depth video, you covered everything I needed to know and explained everything so clearly. You are a really good teacher.
I have the V11 that is a very similarly design bin and cyclone assembly. Once the outer bin is removed for cleaning, I use a combination of paint prush and a slightly damp micro-fibre cloth to clean the metal mesh part, and any dust off the seals. Ensure that the seals are dry. As for the upper-inside, where the cyclone bits are (you cannot get at those unless you take it apart), a good way to ensure loose dust comes out of that area is to hold it pointing down over a waste bin, and use the handle of a plastic brush to strongly tap the lower thinner section, keep tapping for at least a minute, rotating to different points on the lower end part, as the mechanical tapping action will result in a LOT of fine dust particle falling out of the uppe inside areas. Also, simetimes the bin will get stuck (stiction) on the rubber seals, and the big red lever will not always push it off (you have to rock sidways a bit while pulling to expose the little lock lever), when that happens, use a MINUTE smear of Silicone Grease on the seals (available from automotive shops), and wipe off any excess, otherwise it attracts dust! The ones that stick are the red seal on the bin and where it goes onto on the main part when put back on.
Thank you-very good tutorial. I would just add that on the vacuum head you need to check the internal air passage after removing the dust bin, that is, the central core hole PLUS the one side hole (on gray part above lower dust block) because they can get clogged with hair or other obstructions. Visually check (easiest to shine a light into the side hole and look through bottom hole) but the side hole and central hole require fingers or a flexible brush or long screwdriver to clear it if it’s clogged. Shining a flashlight (torch) into the side hole and viewing from the bottom works pretty well to ensure it’s clear. 😊
Thanks for the Video!
I used air blower for last 2 years and it makes everything like brand new
Excellent video and love your sense of humor, "put my teeth back in". Thank you!
That was really well explained. I would love to learn more about the menu in detail and what each item means. Thank you so much.
"Don't need to get the bin wet" Buddy, I've got 3 kids under 5 and been using mine since it arrived from pre-order. I had NO IDEA I could take any of these bits off. The amount of caked-on yuck... I'm going to have to soak some of that. 🤣
@@petralea Dude, that's literally the point of the comment? This guy showed us HOW to get in and clean bits we couldn't otherwise access? And whilst he said you don't need to get it wet, my comment was saying that I'm going to so I can clean it thoroughly? Why reply when you haven't read?
Just cleaned my Dyson with this video step by step. I knew of a few things from before but I’m saving this for all future clean ups too. Thanks! Btw - the part when u tap with the paint brush - wow so much stuff came out !also shared this with my brother who has the same Dyson. 😊
That's great, well done thanks for the feedback
I use a thin, plastic, hair retrieval, drain cleaner tool, to clean those intake tubes. It works really well, but I usually have to use it a few times each time I clean the tubes.
The dirt goes into the upper part of the canister when I vacuum. I have checked it over well and It continues to happen. After watching you video, I will go and check it again and see if I missed anything. Thank you so much!
This was so helpful. Vacuum is looking great now and it started out pretty rough 😅 the brush roller does have little side traps that get hair rolled up in it. It was time consuming but I used a small blade to get them loosened up. I imagine there is a better way to do it, but just something you can maybe talk about in a next video. Cheers!
This video has been helpful. While hoovering, the rubbish just comes back out so now I'm going to clean the hoover the way you've showed and let's see if that works.
yes i had the same problem so i just cleaned it the way its shown on this video and waiting to see the results. Has the problem been solved for you?
@@mk2058 yes it has solved the problem. I followed step by step video instructions and now the hoover works well.
Thank you so much for this video. It made cleaning my vacuum cleaner very easy, and now I feel like a boss.
My new Dyson V15 arrived today with out an owners manual. So glad you are going over how to open and clean everything. Thank you!
It's online.
Me too. Very annoying. I just got one today, no manual. I usually sit and read through them before I use the machine. So I’m watching RUclips videos today on the vacuum.
Thank you for this video. I just purchased the V15 Detect and this video explain perfect how to clean it. Blessings to you from Texas.
Great to hear this video was helpful for you. Thanks for the great feedback
Thank you, just cleaned out my v15 and I was suprised with all the dog hair caught up in it - Now that I know how to clean it I will be doing so weekly
Great to know it was helpful for you, thanks for the great feedback
This is absolutely fantastic!!! Never knew we could remove the transparent bin!!! Will buy a small brush and get to work tomorrow!
Fabulous - very detailed, covered everything I wanted to know - thank you very much!
Excellent video. Thank you. Any guidance on how to de-cloud the dust bin? I’ve noticed my dust bin has started to fog like a headlamp on a car.
I haven't but great video idea for me, watch this space!!!
Thank you ! This has been incredibly helpful. I have had my Dyson for a little over a year and it is filthy. I’m so grateful I came across this video.
Glad the video was helpful for you. thanks for the feedback
thank you very much. video is a little long, but I just speed it up... Also, what does the alert button alert you to?
Hi. Just broke my down. It's so clean. One question. The cylinder red is still there. Why am I having difficulty placing it back on?? TYIA
if you used a moist cloth to wipe it down perhaps the seals are still damp causing them to stick abit?
Thanks, a very helpful video. I purchased a Dyson V15 Detect Absolut in December 2021, a couple of months ago both of the brushes stopped turning. There was no hair trapped in them. I discovered that my partner has been submerging the plastic brush holder in water to clean it Would this be the reason why both the yellow/blue and normal large hair detangling brush head no longer turns?
Yes it sounds like it has damaged the head by putting it in water unfortunately. Hopefully just purchasing a new head should help.
Bless you for making this! It’s a very expensive vaccuum and I was afraid I was gonna break it if I tried to figure out how to clean it myself. Really makes you think why the manufacturer has such poor care information. If you ever make a video on how each attachment is supposed to be used, that’d be rad. I’ve been trying to figure out the - + icon on the front of the big antitangle brush and I’m stuck
The plus or minus raises or lowers the brush for plush pile carpet or lower pile carpet. I have to switch mine to the minus side to get better suction on the rugs in my house 💕
Thank you very much! Clear, easy and concise. I cleaned my Dyson completely while watching this video :):)😀
Great to hear it was useful for you, thanks for the feedback
This video really shows the big flaw with al this " bag less" devices, maintenance is actually harder than with a regular paper bag vacuum, these devices eventually will clog up and than you need to do this ....wehn a paper bag is full you simply throw it in the bin, maybe once a year replace the HEPA filter, way more hygienic to use
( I use to have a Dyson myself,many years ago,thing was very loud,heavy,expensive and most of al clumsy, few years ago I switched to a nice and silent AEG, with paperfilterbags, work a charm, never go back to a Dyson, especially not for their prices
Just got a v15 and this is very helpful! One question: How often is it suggested that this cleaning take place?
I would normally recommend every 3-4 months but it really depends how often you use the vacuum and how dirty it gets. If you are using it a lot and it gets dirtier, then the vacuum could benefit by being cleaned like this every couple of months
I use a thin, plastic, hair retrieval, drain cleaner tool, to clean those intake tubes. It works really well, but I usually have to use it a few times each time I clean the tubes.
Great video - very helpful. Question: The rubber gaskets on the bin lid top have dust underneath the tight fitting gaskets. Tried blowing air to remove it but they are tight and despite weekly cleaning the gaskets there is visible dust under both. Any solution?
Thanks for the tips. This was really helpful. The only thing I would have done differently was to clean/brush all the dirt and dust off of the vacuum cleaner directly into a garbage bag or some sort of a bin so that one could throw it away or just flush it down the toilet or something. As you brush the dirt/dust off the vacuum with any brush some of the dusk particles tend to fly all over the place including your lungs. 🙈
Yes it can happen, thanks for the feedback
I have dogs, big ones, and this is my third wand, V6, then V11, on to V15, and after a month of use mine look like I’ve just finished vacuuming the inside of a tornado. This helps.
Thank you for your video. I follow how clean my dyson step by step but unfortunatly the message ' clean your filter' come back after 5mn of aspiration.
Excellent video, thank you so much for the clear and concise steps.
When I went to place the clear bin back on, the red rubber gasket-looking ring popped off from the inside of the bin when it was going past the grey rubber umbrella-looking bit. I tried for better part of an hour to get it back in place but had no joy. Please do you have a way to reassemble this part? (The grey plastic ring and red rubber ring both popped off) thank you
Wow! Love the video, i just got mine few weeks ago and this was very helpful👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 thank you!
Great job. Best video I’ve seen on how to clean my vac. Thx so much!
No problem, glad it was helpful for you, thanks for the great feedback
Helpful video - thank you. How do you recommend cleaning the long tube that connects the vacuum motor head to the floor brushes on the V15?
First of all have a look to see if there are any blockages down there. If it appears to be blocked, i would try and get something like a stick and cloth to try and unblock it, i have found that has worked in the past.
Oh, I didn't know you could turn off the particle display, that's actually nice.
Thank you it was most informative, especially how to get all the different parts off for cleaning. What I did observe as a first time user that the light stays on for a while, before switching off. So I gather there is no ‘Off’ button.
That's correct it is just the trigger to switch the vacuum suction on and off.
Thank you so much for this!! So extremely helpful and very easy to follow. Again thank you for showing me how to clean my vacuum!!
Just picked up on what you said about hair rapping around the brush head and if you have got a lot of hair around it just get some scissors ✂️ and cut it away but I don’t know if you have noticed on your dyson but it’s a anti tangle brush head so it prevents hair from getting tangled around it, plus it’s written all over the brush head “anti tangle” you can’t miss it lol so no need for scissors ✂️ anymore
I think he meant in the rare chance some does but yeah lol.
Thank you very much, very helpful. Would you please tell me what adjusting the red slide button to + or - does for cleaning?
If you move it to - it will lower the roller cleaning device, + in turn will raise it. On carpet you might prefer a lower setting whereas on a hard floor you might need a higher setting.
I bought this unit a couple of days ago. Works amazing. Question I would like to ask is what head do you recommend for vacuuming a mattress? Thanks.
There are mattress tools available but i would normally say the motorised turbo brush is the best one for the job.
Many thanks. My V15 no longer adapts its power according to the level of dust... it used to do that for months and the settings are ok... I also cleaned it properly but still it no longer adapts the power... any idea of what could it be ?
Not too sure. I would give it a clean first and perhaps remove the battery to see if it resets it
@minerva2kutube I have the same issue with a less than 30 day old unit. Dyson issued a new battery. This did not resolve the issue. They are now replacing the filter which is out of stock. Wondering if your isse was resolved and how?
@@cweems2484 Hi, they actually sent me a brand new motor. To no avail. But then, after a few weeks, it started working well again. And now, all of a sudden… no longer working… I give up… no big deal, I switch to max whenever I need it. The V15 is an excellent product even with those small software problems.
@@minerva2kutubeThank you for your reply. I exchanged mine yesterday for a new one. I hope that it is not a bad unit as well.
I just cleaned my main part for the first time. All seemed to go well, however now that I snapped the clear canister back on, the red handle is stuck and won’t empty the bin. What should I do? Thank you
I would recommend to try and take the bin off and try and relocate it again. If the rubber seal around the bin lid is stuck then it will be difficult to open with the red handle so it may be worth trying to get a screwdriver and gently prising the bin lid open
I know a lot more about the care of my v15 thanks to this. Thank you
Great information however what does the red selector switch on the vacuum head do.
Imagine the time and effort saved if Dyson would give us a bagged option in these vacuums
Great in-depth video that is very much helpful! Thank you.
Been thinking about this hoover for a few weeks but your videos of this model I have decided to buy one thanks
Thank you for this video!
I would really like to ask for some advice re: an issue I'm having with my new v15. The filter continually becomes clogged and says it needs to be cleaned. I realised today (after once again cleaning and drying, then having the clean filter alert come on after 30 seconds of use) that it appears the area the filter slots into is filled with dust (so a clean filter pops in, and immediately gets caked with dust). I'm not sure how I could go about cleaning this area, as I don't think you can disassemble it. Do you have any ideas on the best way forward? My v15 is very new (less than a month old), and this is really frustrating me.
I'd be appreciative of any and all help.
This is very helpful now I know how to clean every parts of it.
Thank you so much! I always clean the filter and wipe the surface dirt off but the build up of dirty inside started to smell. Just got it sparkly clean
Great to hear this was useful for you, thanks for the feedback 👍
Thank you! Very informative, detailed and exactly what I was looking for! 😊
I was hoping to see you open the vacuum’s canister lid as I’ve had trouble with mine or I’m too scared I’ll break the red handle. I thought this was the latest vacuum but your video is 2 yrs old. Thx in advance.
I bought a wireless hoover so i dont have to plug it in. Then every year i have to dismantle it and clean it for it to actually last. The amount of dust in my filter was a shit ton and only owned my v11 for 3 months. The V7 never got as dusty as fast
You saved me $399 because I was about to trash it! Warranty has been over!!!
Is it necessary to wait until the battery is all the way out of power before recharging it?
No, you can charge the battery at any time to fully charge it.
Thanks. Nice clear instructions. I wonder how the device knows when it's picking up mites?
Hello,
Looking for help with the Dyson V15. It blocks my anti-tangle carpet attachment and won't spin. It has suction but does not spin. I watched different videos on youtube but I can't fix it.
It's almost new, I've only used it 3 or 4 times. I opened it up to clean it, but it doesn't even have dirt on it.
The rest of my attachments work fine.
My vacuum cleaner is only 2 months old and I take care of it.
Does sound odd, as it is only 2 months old, i would contact Dyson to get them to sort it out for you as it will still be covered under the manufacturers warranty.
@@lords-electrical No, there is no odd sound, everything works great. It's just that the anti-comb tangle doesn't spin. I sent it to warranty service.
First time cleaning, thank you for the video instructions.
What type of paint brush do you recommend? I tried a natural bristle brush, but some of the bristles got stuck in the metal mesh filter! Also, I had just vacuumed up baking soda from upholstery and it does not clean that metal mesh with just the brush. It still appears to be clogged with white dust
I just find a good quality brush helps. Sometimes i have found a cheap brush can lose its bristles easily when trying to clean the vacuums
Thank you for the great, helpful, clear video. I had no clue what I was doing until you explained it all. Wow.! Just call me Mrs. Dyson. And thanks for the explanation about the white shirt sleeves. Very classy. I like your accent also.
I have the V15. How often should I clean the filters do you think?
It can depend on how often you are vacuuming and what is being sucked up, but we normally recommend cleaning the filters every month on average.
I have recently purchased the V15 Detect+ but I can't find any replacement HEPA filters on their website, any clues where to get one?
I got my V15 today and decided to take a chance with some non Oem filters from amazon. Hopefully they will work as the reviews looked promising.
Thank you for the video! The brush is a great idea.
I’m very allergic to dust and mites and purchased a Dyson because of its excellent cleaning abilities. My home has never been so dust free.
However, the cleaning takes longer than the vacuuming !
Because you cannot clean the parts properly and need to touch the dusty unit while cleaning it makes cleaning cause rashes and breathing problems. I put the motor unit inside a long plastic bag when brushing so the dust doesn’t fly everywhere and of course I use long gloves.
I also use the edge nozzle in the last minute to clean the floor brushes.
I’m not sure I’d purchase again because of the cleaning and maintenance issues.
Great advice and tips, thank you. Unfortunately a lot of vacuums need a good clean to keep them well maintained for a good suction.
Thank you for this video. i had no idea it had a secret menu 🙂
Stupid question probably : How often is it recommended too clean the inside of the head and other ? Every time after use? Or waiting until performance is going down?
Its a great question but quite difficult to answer. I would normally clean a vacuum every 2-3 months, but it really depends how dirty the floor is and also how often you clean and maintain the filters
Hi, thanks for the video, I was wondering how to pop the full bin out!
One thing I would like to know is if you can clean the main brush head under water. Yours look very easy but mine has some hard dust that looks more like cardboard on the sides. I guess because I have used it in the bathroom and perhaps some water got into the brush with the dust.
How do you recommend cleaning this?
Thanks a lot!
Always a difficult one, as you shouldn't really get the brush wet. if you need to wet the brush, then make sure there are no electrical contacts that get wet, and that it is completely dry before you put it back together. Good luck
Hello. Thank you for your tips. I'm trying to keep up with the cleaning but I can open my bigger brush with the coin, but the brush doesn't come out :( a small piece comes out but the brush gets stuck. I'm afraid of pulling harder and it breaking :( has anyone else happened?
thanks
Thank you for the video. This made my life much better.
What a pleasant presentation for a not exactly exciting subject….thank you!
Thanks very much, glad you enjoyed it ☺️
What about that hole in the side in the dirt compartment? My totally clogs inside there.. Im surprised it has not filter to keep stuff out of there. I have to use Tongs to pull big wads of hair and other debris out of there.
Yes it can be a pain to get debris out of there
Many thanks, learnt a lot. Trying to find out how to clean the laser head roller. Mine has become very dirty (stained) and the only cleaning advice I can find is to wash in plain water which does not remove the stains.
Contact Dyson Support. They'll definitely have a way to clean it.
Thanks for this easy DIY video🏆 It saved me from butting a NEW ONE😎
Columbus Ohio🏈🏈
Great to hear it was useful. Thanks for the great feedback
If I wet the whole entire filter and the top of the filter will it be ok? Did I just break by new v15😢
As long as the filter is completely dry before you put the vacuum back together and start using it then you will be ok. Even if the filter is damp, do not use it as it can still damage the vacuum.
Thank you for the video. Very helpful 😊
An excellent guide through cleaning my Dyson V15.
Nice job explaining the process. Thanks a bunch
nicely done video but still disappointed that it did not go into cleaning the bits that truly need it. Give the vac a tap on the counter once you've got the bin off. you see a lot of dust come out from the suction channels (idk their proper name). Dust gets caked on there really badly and it stinks. Cleaning just the bin won't stop the dust accumulating and stinking even worse.
It's on Dyson to make it easier to get the inside cleaned. I had to use an iphone repair kit to get the screws out just so I could clean my machine. It was disgusting how much dust was caked up in there after only a few months use.
I would really like to know how best to get at it without risking damage to the machine. :(
Really, really helpful video! Thank you so much for doing this! Really appreciate it. 🙏🏽
