Shark Vacuums are great for allergy sufferers because they can remove anything from dust to pet dander and even pollen. Have you ever seen a commercial of a house that is so clean that it looks like no one lives there? If you want your house to look like that all the time, the best way to do it would be to get a vacuum cleaner that can perform like a Shark.
Now the question is, what makes Shark vacuums so great? Let’s find out.
What You Need for Shark Vacuuming
To start vacuuming with a Shark vacuum, you’ll need the vacuum itself, an electric outlet and a paddle-style cord. The power cord for your Shark will be three-pronged and about 25 feet long. If you have multiple rooms that need vacuuming, you may want to invest in a retractable cord so your vacuum cleaner stays neat and tidy.
We’ll also recommend you have Shark Professional Series Complete Care, the complete coverage all in one machine. This three-in-one solution covers all vacuuming needs: carpet and bare floor cleaning, upholstery and pet hair removal. So when you’re done with the vacuuming duties for the day, it’ll be time to do something else.

The first step for any new Shark is cleaning out the dust canister. Set it on the floor and unroll the dust canister from the vacuum body. Take all of the debris out of this part to prepare it for vacuuming. Next, you’ll unpack the handle. Check to make sure it’s assembled correctly, then attach it to the canister. Attach the wand and brush to the vacuum. The last step is to take the protective lens cover off. The Shark Navigator is ready to go!

Shark Vacuum Maintenance Tips To Make Sure You’re Getting The Most Out Of It!
The hard-working brush roll will do a better job on carpet just because it has more flexible bristles. Dusting Wand: Use the cleaning head of your dusting wand to clean the vents and crevices of your home. You can also use this attachment to give your floor a quick wipe-down before you vacuum with the upright brush head. Crevice Tool: The crevice tool is more of an extra-large detailing brush that is ideal for cleaning along baseboards, behind furniture, and in tight spaces between objects. It’s also great for getting into corners and under furniture. Be sure to hold onto the edge of your furniture when using this brush, as the tool is more flexible than a traditional dusting brush to reach behind furniture and other objects.
