How Often Do You Need To Empty A Commercial Vacuum

Commercial vacuums are not the same as residential vacuum cleaners. Commercial vacuums are often use much more frequently and are used to clean much larger areas. Moreover, the type of cleaning can impact how often you need to empty the vacuum. For example if you are using the vacuum in a facility with large amounts of debris and waste, you might need to empty the vacuum more frequently. Restaurants that are cleaning up food waste or vacuums that are used to vacuum up carpeted areas in larger buildings like offices will likely need to be emptied more frequently. Make sure to check the capacity of your vacuum. 

If you have a canister vacuum or a vacuum that doesn’t use replaceable bags, you should empty it after every use. This prevents issues with your vacuum getting to full or waste materials sitting in your vacuum cleaner for longer periods of time. If you have a vacuum bag you will want to replace it as it gets full to make the most out of your bags. If you notice that vacuum suction seems low, or your vacuum has an indicator light for when the bag is full, you should replace the bag. You should not wait until a vacuum bag is at it fullest capacity.
