Cleaning and Disinfecting the Wet/Dry Vac
To keep your Wet/Dry Vac looking its best,
clean the outside with a cloth dampened
with warm water and mild soap.
To clean the collection tank:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash collection tank thoroughly with

Before prolonged storage or as needed

collection tank should be disinfected.
To disinfect the collection tank:
1. Pour 1 gallon of water and 1 teaspoon
chlorine bleach into the collection tank.

carefully swishing every few minutes,
making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the collection tank.

Storage
Before storing your vac, the collection tank
should be emptied and cleaned. The hose
should be wrapped with the storage racks.
The cord and accessories should be stored
as illustrated on the right (Fig. 1-3)
so they can be readily available when
needed. Store vac indoors.
