- In this video I share some basic maintenance tips for the Dyson Fluffy cordless vacuum cleaner. I show the Fluffy in the video, but most of these tips will apply to all models in the V6 range.

Thank you for the no-nonsense, user-friendly video on how to clean the Dyson V6 and its accessories. The fluffy hard-floor cleaning head was proving to be a particular challenge, and your video was of great help in figuring out how to open the end cap. Dyson should hire you!
Dyson won't. They don't want you cleaning or repairing your own kit. They want you to just buy a new one.
FINALLY!! Someone who explains it ALL!
I enjoy these maintenance videos because I love looking after my vacuum cleaners as one should.
Great video, thx. I give my Dyson a deep clean once/twice a year. A few tips... the detachable rollers on the Fluffy are machine washable, really brings them back to life. For the main plastic housing vacuum out the dust, then use wipes and the back of a spoon to dig into all the nooks and crannies, really lifts out all the dirt... just be gentle, especially ariound the motor and you'll end up with a Dyson as good as new!
After watching this video and following the instructions, I solved an intermittent pulsing problem with the carpet attachment. Also gave the whole machine a good clean. Excellent!

Thank you so much for such useful instructions. I’d never thought about using another vacuum cleaner to clean the parts!!! Brilliant and very helpful.
Thanks for such an in-depth tutorial 👍
How wonderfully clear. Thank you.
Thank you so much I have a v7fluffy I needed to clean this video has helped me tremendously!
This video was perfect & to the point. Thank you!
Thank you for this little video. I have picked up quite a few tips from it and the comments. I won't subscribe because it's unlikely I will need any other videos from your good self, but I wanted you to know anyway, that I appreciated your efforts, and no nonsense delivery. PS, I hope your mum was pleased with the clean of her Dyson!
Excellent job!
Thank you! This video was very helpful
I GOT IT !! I managed to get a fingernail between the pointy end of the side cap and body... this allowed insertion of a coin to apply non-destructive pressure, then moved the slotted screw fully ANTI-CLOCKWISE ....the side cover rotated !!
As I said earlier, its the sticky / tricky latches that are the problem with this machine.
I can see why they went to the side latch with slotted head screw / latch !!!
I really like the color of that carpet!
Give me your address and I'll send it to you when its pulled up soon.🙂
Thank u great video. Had same prob and its now sorted.
Very helpful. Thank you.
Love your videos
Thanks! this solved my issue, great video
This is so much helpful
Thanks a lot ,very helpful video
Love it 😍
Oh. My. God. You saved me so much money. Worked a treat. Tks ibaisaic
Thank you so much 🙏
Great vid
If your soft roller tool doesn't spin, try attaching the roller directly to the machine without the wand, it worked for me when using with the wand. And yes it worked on wand too
Thank you so much
That filter your cleaning with wipes actually comes off
Thanks!
How do you clean the rear rubber roller wheels that trap hair?
Thank you,
As I pointed out in one of my own videos on this subject, those cone shaped filters always fill with dust, hairs, and other fine debris on the inside, so they need plunging in water several times, and held upside down, so the water drains out and brings out all the accumulated debris inside the cone. Do not assume the filter is clean just by looking at the outside of it - its whats inside it that will clog the machine's airflow. These filters must be washed each month or suction loss will become more severe the longer it is left unwashed - eventually, as Roger pointed out, the motor will start pulsing, as it is choked of airflow from the filter being totally clogged with dust on the inside of the cone.
Wish this had bee n available when I go t mine, I've found it very tricky to do
I just got the v11 with the soft roller. I ran it over an air vent and a portion of the soft bristles lifted in the corner. Do you know if you can just pop that back in? it is no longer smooth to the touch and I can feel that lifted rubber in a corner.
Nice 1 💚👊🏼
Dyson filters filter from the inside out so they will always look clean no matter how clogged they are, as you figured.
Not on the v11
Thanks good
Cool!!
a nice video
Hi roger our fluffy filter was blocked inside, the three tabs at the top can be undone with your finger nails and inside it was full of crud and hair. No amount of washing would remove this. The filter can be removed from the plastic cage.
This needs to be done with care, as the thin plastic of the filter housing can be damaged, and the filter will not go back together properly. The filters are not a great design, in that all the crud gets caught inside them and can be difficult to remove.
MadAboutHoovers yes i agree the filters are a poor design i found that its best to do this while washing the filter in some very warm water as it makes the plastic softer. When i took ours off there was a large pellet of crud stuck inside.
I would like to see your review on the new Dyson V10 and its comparison with previous V6 and V8 models.
And I would like £400 to buy one.
My fluffy brush will not spin anymore. My regular motorhead has no problem spinning. I’ve tried removing the fluffy brush and I cleaned it. The motor part on the fluffy head does not turn. Would you have any suggestions on what to do?
Hi Roger good video as usual, just to let you know I made the coffee kisses and they were delicious
I have bought all the ingredients to make some vegan friendly ones.
So what I can get when it is clothes is Tyson vacuum so I can get a cordless Dyson vacuum cleaner at
Very helpful but how do you clean the little wheels ?
Yes, Im looking for the same! My fluffy head is different it has little wheels that are full of hair and I can't figure out how to remove it.
Any ideas how to clean the tiny wheels which go in and spring back when you touch them ? I've checked many vids and no one touches these.
Agree! The tiny wheels on my Dyson get jammed
Thanks. This video is the only one that shows how to open the soft roller head. You have to hold it just right, and the Dyson directions don't show that.
You can separate cyclone part from motor unit by pushing two white clips between both parts. Then you can fully wash cyclone part under running water and it will be like new.
Even after cleaning fluffy doesn't spin. What is causing not to spin?
Hi. The cylinder bit where you said dont soak in water. I have soaked what shall i do? Leave it to dry or get new 1 only for about 1 hour i have soaked
It should be OK as long as it has dried out properly. If the vacuum doesn’t work after fitting the bin, you will probably need to order a replacement.
HELP !! My older sv06 Fluffy does not have a slotted end cap, rather a screw UNDERNEATH.
I have tried everything, apart from prying, but it does not seem designed to come out !!
(Only one brush bar Large on my model)
Did the pulsating noise stop after you'd cleaned it, Roger, or did you find another cause?
Yes. The cause was the dirty filter.
How can I clean the blue mesh if I don't have another vacuum cleaner. I have lots of dust in there, that brushing alone will not move it all. I'm sure it is affecting the performance of the cleaner. I wash the filter out every month under a running tap, and this is very good. Hope someone can help.
Mine seems to be a Fluffy that's an older / interim model, with NO SIDE LATCHES !!
Only a slotted screw on left when one turns the head over.
Have turned that screw at small increments, then tried for movement after each increment / turn. Nothing.
It appears the side piece on left requires the roller to help in pushing it out. Cant move with normal pressure.
(I'm not usually defeated by dis-assembly, but this has me beat !!)
I have a dyson V6 and my brush roller does not come all the way out. Are they all suppose to come out. I did get the roller open but the whole thing is not coming out
Yes, the roller is supposed to come out as shown in this video.
Is the soft roller head attachment motorized?
Yes.
The small wheels are attrackting hair, there is no tip in this video how to clean that. Is there an easy hack to do those?
Good video but my brush looks different. There is no thing at the side to open...... Lol...
What? I spent 700 dollars on a cordless dyson to just clean it.... I figured it cleaned itself!
Does anyone know if the brush will be permanently damaged if I actually have rinse the whole thing under water? I did it before right before I watched this video 😰😰😰😰
If you have put the whole head in water then yes, you may have damaged it. Leave it for as long as you can in a warm place and try it in a few days.
Thanks for the video although I have to say cleaning the unit while on a carpet made me cringe for a while particularly when you brushed off the dust from the shroud.
It was an old carpet due to be replaced. If something is very dirty, I clean it on an old rug.
wet wipes as in the hand wet wipes?
I was thinking more of the surface wipes you'll find in the cleaning isle of the supermarket.
Like lysol wipes that clean 99.99% of germs
1:05 it looks "not too bad" because you are only looking at the outside. That style of filter fills from inside. This vacuum is a terrible unit speaking from experience.
This is what Dyson came up with to replicate the Shark Duo Ion Flex...personally, I think having electrical inputs in the dirt chamber defeats the purpose of a removable dirt chamber, which is to facilitate its cleaning. Considering that Dyson charges quite a bit more for its vacuum cleaners and the fact that they’re now just trying to catch up with Shark’s Duo designs, this Dyson cordless gets two thumbs down from me...not to count that Dyson “missed” imitating flexing of the fluffy’s wand...this cordless design has way too many hard to reach crevices and having to use other vacuum cleaners to clean MOST parts of a vacuum cleaner is rather inconvenient and again, defeats the purpose of what’s supposed to be “effective easy to handle cordless vac”. Shark has yet to design the Ion Flex with removable dirt chamber...but then again, if using a damp cloth is all I can do to a removable dirt chamber, I’m happy to do the same to a non-removable dirt chamber!
While I love your reviews, in this one you failed to put the Fluffy to the test (after you cleaned it) in order to determine whether dirt clog was causing the malfunctioning. Your introduction implies so and therefore, it’s natural to assume such was the purpose of this video. Considering how thorough you usually are, this was quite disappointing! Nevertheless, thanks. This helped me be even more confident in my decision to choose Shark’s Ion Flex over the Dyson’s Fluffy. Dyson’s designers seemed to lack creativity when naming this cordless as well...lol...Cheers!
Perhaps Dyson can design an overpriced mini vacuum for vacuuming their overpriced big vacuums...probably already have!
I use a proper mains powered vacuum to clean my Dysons.
@@ibaisaic Unfortunately my Dyson (singular...couldn't afford more than one) was bought to 'replace' my mains vacuum!! Vacuuming the vacuum? A fundamental design flaw methinks.
OMG better don't get this as you'll need to buy another accompanying vacuum cleaner in order to keep the cleaner ...clean 🤔😬🤬💩
You will also need a decent mains powered vacuum cleaner to remove the dirt this Dyson leaves in the carpet.
Very helpful, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
