Have you ever washed your vacuum?

However, Dyson UK has warned against deep cleaning their product in such a way, after the woman's post went viral.
While people only soaked the attachments, rather than the electrical part of the vacuum, Dyson revealed only one bit of the appliance can be safely washed.
"We do not recommend that owners expose their machines to water," a Dyson spokesperson told The Sun.
"Owners should refer to the cleaning instructions in the manual provided with the machine upon purchase.
"The only component that can be washed is the filter, which should be washed every three months to maintain the machine."
The British company also said if it was necessary to clean other components to just use a cloth to wipe it down.
