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 Drum:
1. Dump debris out.
2. Wash Drum thoroughly with warm water and mild soap.
3. Wipe out with dry cloth.
Before prolonged storage or as needed (i.e., waste water
pick up) the Drum should be disinfected.
To disinfect the Drum:
1. Pour 1 gallon (4 L) of water and 1 teaspoon (5 mL)
chlorine bleach into the Drum.
2. Let solution stand for 20 minutes, carefully swishing
every few minutes, making sure to wet all inside surfaces
of the Drum.
3. Empty Drum after 20 minutes. Rinse with water until
bleach smell is gone. Allow Drum to dry completely
before sealing the Motor on the Drum.

Storage
Before storing your Vac, the Dust Drum should be emptied
and cleaned. The Power Cord should be wrapped around
the Accessory Holder Tabs, located on the back of the
Powerhead Assembly. The Hose should be stored as
described in this manual. Accessories should be kept in
the same area as the Vac so they can be readily available.
The Vac should be stored indoors.
