Vacuum Cleaner Bags

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Bagged vacuum cleaners require that you change the bag when it becomes full. Replacing the bag isn't a huge chore and most vacuum cleaner bags are not expensive, though it may be inconvenient to have to remember to check if the bag is full. Some models requiring vacuum cleaner bags have an indicator light that will let you know when the bag needs to be changed. A benefit of vacuum cleaner bags is that there is not a lot of contact with the dust and debris in the bag. Slip out the old bag and throw it away.

Less mess. With a bag, there's little to no chance that your dust will wind up back on the floor or in your face.
Better for allergy sufferers. Bags keep dust and allergens completely separate from the person who is doing the vacuuming. As a result, disposing of dust is much less likely to cause an allergic reaction.
Less maintenance required. Vacuum cleaner bags take a lot of stress off your vacuum cleaner for several reasons. First, filters are built into the bags themselves, so you don't need to clean the filters. Second, the bags hold more dirt than their bagless counterparts, so you don't need to dump the dirt as often.

Don’t forget to clean the pre- Cleaner Bag screens and post- Cleaner Bag screens with the shop vac as well.
