• Vacuum filters can be messy to clean. The #1 shop tip on the internet is: Use a leaf blower to clean out your vacuum filter. You can stand further back with a leaf blower than when using an air hose which helps keep your lungs and clothes a bit cleaner. Just make sure you anchor the filter so you don't have to go to the McDonald's drive through line to retrieve the filter from under a car.
