Is it going to hurt my vacuum cleaner if I use it to pick up…

There’s one more question I have that goes along with this. The small different parts that you can take out of the vacuum cleaner to clean, can you rinse them in the sink as long as you let them dry before you put them back? & is it okay to wipe down the inside parts with a damp cloth? It’s pretty dirty! This vacuum doesn’t have bags, it’s one of those that has the part you take out & dump the junk.

  1. its ok to wash them as long as you dry them before you put them back. yes, you can suck up litter with it, but, its gonna smell bad, and it will put off more dust than you could imagine, but, it won’t hurt it.

  2. No b/c the vacuum won’t work if you wash it. To clean the vacuum out, you would first get a plastic bag and start getting off the dust and then just dump all the cat litter into that plastic bag and then you will be done. Just tie up the plastic bag and toss it into the garbage.

  3. Actually, after you vacuum the litter, you can vacuum a liquid and the litter will actually absorb the liquid *in the catch*, actually.

  4. Yes it is O.K. to clean up cat litter I have been doing it for years.
    I also have a bag-less vacuum and clean in regularly just make sure that all of the parts are dry before you use the vacuum again.

  5. I have 2 cats, so I am always vacuuming up litter. Mine is bag less as well. It’s OK. And you can wipe with a damp cloth. :):):)
