AT LONG LAST, THE SANITAIRE'S BACK HOME!

[sonnyndad]

Me and the jerk running the vac shop went round and round. I called him right after I got out of skool, and he said he had ordered the plastic hood and that I could pick it and the Sanitaire at the same time. I wanted the Sanitaire NOW. We made the trip across town, and after some arguing, I got my Sanitaire in the car. I told him that I hoped my bag was still clean considering I washed it prior, and he said that I shouldn't wash it because it opens up the pores. I then said that if the pores were clogged there would be no airflow. Then, (hold on to your hats) he said that he intentionally soaks bags in WD-40 to clog the pores. That is one of the stupidest things I've ever heard. Thank God he didn't do that to my bag.

Yay! WD-40 soaked bags? What customer wouldn't notice that strong smell? Sounds like a way to keep business up, dirty business!

I forgot to mention...

I tried to explain the basics of air movement, but he kept saying that the chance of him making a mistake is 0% because he's been doing this for 34 years. After about 17 seconds of that, he said and I quote, "well I'm just not going to argue with you. I've been doing this a lot longer than you. Okaaaay?" (All said in a drunk voice.) I hope that he somehow discovers Vacuumland one day and reads all this so he can see what people think of his attitude.

Wonder if he'll be sober enough to use the internet? 

 


I wouldn't even buy belts from the guy, but I'm sure you're already there!

Now I have used dw40 on my kirby 560 bag and it worked just fine, just don't use it right away let it dry & before I did that it was blowing dust all over the place. I have done that to the bags & the hotel after I washed & dried them in this industrial machines & they worked fine I did it there first as a test before I ruin mine.

Oh,I see how that can work now....just don't plug up the entire bag, it'll be the rubbery Armour bag all over again! 

 

[sonnyndad]

I really don't understand how soaking the bag in WD40 will help. Could somebody enlighten me?

 

[marks_here]

It sound crazy but the dust clings to the inside of the bag & empty easy too. I was skeptical that's why I did it at work..LOL cheesy no star no class burnt up hotel!

The Sanitaire is back home Safe and Sound

A week and two days ago, I ordered a new hood for my Sanitaire. They called me today, and this afternoon, I went to collect the hood. I was pleasantly surprised when I saw the hood had not yet been out of the plastic. I also took the original brushroll in to be rebuilt, and rebuilt it was. It spins very smoothly with no vibrating.
