Removing scratches and marks from a vacuum cleaner is a very important issue for all sensitive women. Of course, this issue and sensitivity are more seen in household vacuum cleaners. In this article, we have gathered solutions to this problem so that you can eliminate scratches and marks on your vacuum cleaner.

Causes of Scratches and Marks on Vacuum Cleaners

Before discussing how to remove scratches and marks, it is better to examine the causes of these scratches and marks. Most women only focus on handling the handle while vacuuming and do not pay attention to the vacuum cleaner colliding with other objects. It is worth mentioning that even objects sucked by your vacuum cleaner can contribute to creating scratches and marks.

Suction of items like coins, paper clips, and any hard and metal objects can cause impact and asymmetry from the inside, resulting in scratches and marks on the surface. On the other hand, using a vacuum cleaner to clean rough and uneven surfaces alongside the fast movement of the vacuum cleaner and high pressure when pulling the vacuum can also contribute to creating scratches and marks.

How to Remove Scratches and Marks on Vacuum Cleaners

To remove scratches and marks on a vacuum cleaner, first, you need to thoroughly clean the surface of the device so that there is no dust on it. In the next step, depending on the material of the vacuum cleaner surface, you can use one of the recommended cleaners we suggested earlier.

Using Toothpaste

In the process of removing scratches and marks on a vacuum cleaner, especially on glass surfaces, using toothpaste is recommended. After ensuring that the glass surface is clean and dry, you can directly apply a non-gel toothpaste to the scratched area. Then, try to spread the toothpaste in a circular motion on the scratched area with a soft and clean cloth.

Make sure the cloth is soft enough not to create a new scratch. Continue this process with the cloth until all gaps and scratches on the glass are completely covered with toothpaste. Finally, use another damp cloth to remove excess toothpaste and then dry the glass surface with another cloth.

If you feel that the glass surface of your vacuum cleaner needs this process again, repeat the procedure to completely eliminate the scratches and marks. This method may seem very simple at first glance, but try it once to see how your vacuum cleaner will shine like new without scratches and marks.

Using a Hair Dryer

Removing scratches and marks using a hairdryer is also very interesting. As mentioned earlier, first, you need to clean the surface of your vacuum cleaner thoroughly to remove any dust. Then, set the hairdryer to its lowest setting and hold it 5 to 10 centimeters away from the scratched area.

After a few minutes, you will notice that the plastic on the surface of the vacuum cleaner becomes slightly softer. Now it's time to gently wipe the scratched surface with a soft cloth until the scratches and marks disappear.

Using Car Polish

Removing scratches and marks on a vacuum cleaner with car polish may seem a bit funny at first. But just as car polish works well in cleaning superficial scratches on plastic surfaces inside the car, it can also be useful on the surface of a vacuum cleaner.

Simply take some polish with a soft cloth or a special pad and apply it in a circular motion on the vacuum cleaner surface. The polish will penetrate all gaps and scratches, giving you a smooth surface of the vacuum cleaner. Just remember to remove the excess polish with a dry cloth afterward. If you invest in a central vacuum cleaner, you won't have the hassle of removing scratches and marks from vacuum cleaner surfaces anymore.

Removing Scratches and Marks on Vacuum Cleaners

To clean scratches and marks on plastic surfaces, you can use the solutions we mentioned earlier. That is, use a hairdryer to achieve your goal or try to smooth and polish the vacuum cleaner surface using polish. Make sure to ask for the appropriate model for plastic surfaces from auto parts stores when purchasing polish.

Also, make sure the cloth you use to apply the polish is lint-free to be effective. You can use special polish pads to achieve better results.

How to Prevent New Scratches and Marks?

The location of the vacuum cleaner is very important. If your vacuum cleaner is placed where more hard objects like metal stands are placed, and there is a possibility of collision with the vacuum cleaner in each movement, it is better to change the location of the vacuum cleaner.

Having any hard object around the vacuum cleaner increases the likelihood of creating scratches and marks. Also, make sure that when using the vacuum cleaner, it does not collide with walls or furniture.

Conclusion

Removing scratches and marks from a vacuum cleaner can help keep its surface clean and, as a result, prolong the life of the vacuum cleaner. Keep in mind that with each impact on the vacuum cleaner, in addition to creating scratches, over time, it will disrupt the motor and performance of the vacuum cleaner. Whether you have an industrial or household vacuum cleaner, the power and body of the vacuum cleaner still cannot withstand repeated impacts on walls and furniture during each vacuuming.

FAQs Is using polish suitable for vacuum cleaners?

Yes, using a special plastic polish can be effective. Just make sure that the polish you use for removing scratches and marks on a vacuum cleaner is suitable for plastic surfaces.

You should keep the vacuum cleaner in a place where the possibility of collision with any hard object is almost zero. Also, be careful not to collide with walls and furniture as much as possible when using it.
