Sometimes it can be a mistaken impression that cleaning equipment can actually handle almost any kind of dirt.

In fact, there are a number of substances that are absolutely not recommended to be sucked into a household appliance.

Firstly, you should be careful with sucking soda into the vacuum cleaner. This powder is considered one of the most effective substances for high-quality cleaning of various surfaces.

However, for a vacuum cleaner, soda is an enemy that can destroy the filter of the household appliance in an instant.

It is also worth refraining from sucking up glass, even if it has broken into tiny grains of sand. If you do not notice large particles, you can say goodbye to the hose. And large ones, in turn, can tear the dust collector.

Drops of water may not ruin the device right away, but over time, you will only have to throw it away when mold starts to develop inside the vacuum cleaner or worse problems appear.

But coffee grounds are a combo of small particles that clog the filter and water that creates favorable microflora for the development of fungus.
