read our guide to Dyson vacuums.

Don’t use the main floorhead with a spinning brush roll, as this could spread the shards around the home.Start with the lowest power setting to reduce the risk if you accidentally pick up a large shard, then go over the same area with the highest power.. (If the Floor is Wet) Use slices of bread to pick up smaller shards.. A soft slice of bread is a great tool for picking up smaller pieces of glass – especially if the floor is damp and can’t be vacuumed.

As always, make sure you’re wearing thick gloves..Double check the floor with a torch.Shards of glass may be difficult to see.

Shine a torch at an angle and look for any glinting pieces..If you vacuum up broken glass with a bagless vac, make sure to empty the bin immediately afterwards.

Sharp glass could scratch the canister if left to rotate with other dirt.

Bagged vacuums should be emptied carefully while wearing gloves, as the glass could cut through the thin fabric or paper.. Summary.Step 2: Remove The Filter Housing.

Once the Pivot is in a neutral position, press the button on the side of the cleaning head (see the picture above).With the button pressed, rotate the head and gently pull the filter housing away from the rest of the vacuum..

The filter housing and cleaning head should now be separated from the motor and handle.You shouldn’t need to use force to perform this step.
