**3 Ways To Extend The Life Of Shark Navigator Lift-Away Deluxe NV360**
**Imagine if we didn't have a vacuum cleaner, how difficult would our cleaning be? Every home should have a vacuum cleaner to keep the house clean.**
One of the best vacuum cleaners in the world is Shark and its Navigator NV360 series is really worth considering.
However, you don't know how to prolong the **[Shark NV360](https://forum.avast.com/index.php?topic=306120.0)**'s life to use it longer? Then this article is for you!
**1\. Pay attention to access and clean the dust brush regularly**
The dusting brush is the part that is most exposed to debris, dirt, bacteria, etc., so it needs to be cleaned properly and regularly to ensure the working performance of the vacuum cleaner.
To clean the brush, do the following:
Leave the machine in the non-working state. Turn off the power button, remove the power plug
Press the "Lift-Away" button on the body to disassemble the case
Check the vacuum hose, dusting broom and proceed to remove all kinds of garbage, hair, fur... from these parts
Note: if hair, pet hair or anything is tightly wrapped around the brush head, cut it with scissors and use hands to untangle it slowly, avoiding cutting the bristles and don't try to disassemble the brush from the vacuum cleaner (because the brush is fixed to the body)
**2\. Never forget to clean the filter**
Using the vacuum cleaner for a long time makes the dust filter become clogged, reducing the suction power. If the filter is too dirty, the vacuum will not be able to vacuum and the airflow will be uneven.
To clean the filter, simply remove it from the case and gently tap it to let the dust fall out.
The NV360 is an upright vacuum cleaner with a foam filter, a felt filter, and a HEPA filter. Clean the first two filters in the following ways:
* Remove the dust cup and dispose of the filter
* Wash the filter with clean water every 3 months
* Wait for the filter to dry completely
* Put the filter back in the dust cup and use
With HEPA filters, cleaning as follows:
* Clean the filter every 12 months or whenever you feel the machine is running weak
* Press the top of the cap, remove filter and wash it with clean water
* Dry the filter, reassemble and use
**3\. Empty the dust in the dust cup**
After cleaning the filters in the **[Shark navigator NV360](https://www.nano-reef.com/forums/topic/419740-get-to-know-shark-navigator-lift-away-deluxe-nv360-upright-vacuum/)**, many cases of this vacuum still don't operate at maximum capacity. This is because the dust cup has not been cleaned for a long time.
To know when to empty the dust cup, pay attention to when the dirt, debris... reaches the "maximum" mark on the box or simply clean the dust container after each use.
Clean the dust cup by following these steps:
* Lift the stoppers on the sides gently
* Lift out the dust cup
* Put the dust cup within the trash, press the "open" button
* Press to release the dirt. Press "Close" when the dust is empty
* Tap to remove the inside of the cup, wipe the dust cup with a soft cloth/ rinse it with clean water and dry it thoroughly before reinstalling.
