Can You Use a Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner Without a Bag?

A wet-dry vacuum cleaner is one of the most versatile pieces of cleaning equipment available. That’s because, as the name suggests, it can be used to clear both wet and dry materials. This makes it the perfect device for use in a variety of situations — on building sites, in industrial premises and for clearing small rubble, and liquids and removing stains from upholstery.

Few pieces of equipment can beat a wet-dry vacuum cleaner for versatility. That versatility is increased by the number of attachments available and the ability to use the cleaner with or without a bag.

Using a Wet-Dry Vacuum Cleaner Without a Bag

Each vacuum has a collection container, and this is normally used without a bag when clearing liquids since a bag will not be suitable. Use the device without a bag to:

• Clean up spillages and remove liquid or wet dirt. This can be useful on building sites and in industrial areas where water and other liquids can inhibit work. The powerful suction motor can remove large volumes of liquid quickly and the container can be emptied and cleaned on completion.

Using a Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner with a Bag

Although a wet-dry vacuum cleaner is designed to be used primarily without a bag when dealing with liquids or wet materials, a paper bag within the collection container can be useful in certain circumstances:

• For anyone who is sensitive to dust or has an allergy, the bag can be removed and disposed of on completion of cleaning, so there is no contact with the vacuumed dust.
• When cleaning dry dirt from an area, the robust paper bag can be disposed of along with materials that have been removed and will ensure that the container of the machine is kept clean.

Making the Most of a Wet Dry Vacuum Cleaner’s Versatility

A wet-dry vacuum cleaner’s versatility as an all-purpose cleaner is demonstrated by its ability to remove dry or wet materials from any surface. Depending on what you are doing, you can use it with or without a bag and can also fit a variety of attachments and accessories that include filters that ensure only sterile air is expelled, long-life batteries that allow the freedom of cordless operation and special nozzles for particular cleaning.
