Cleaning And Disinfecting The
Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its best,
clean the outside with a cloth dampened
with warm water and mild soap.
To clean the container:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash container thoroughly with warm
water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed
(i.e., waste water pick up) the collection
tank should be disinfected.
To disinfect the collection tank:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the tank.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes,
carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the tank.
3. Empty the tank after 20 minutes. Rinse
with water until bleach smell is gone.
Allow tank to dry completely before
sealing the motor on the collection tank.
Storage
Before storing your Vac, the collection tank
should be emptied and cleaned. The
cord should be wrapped around the unit
and the hose should be stored as
described in this manual. Accessories
should be kept in the same area as the
Vac so they can be readily available. The
Vac should be stored indoors.
