I crochet, so I can appreciate the time and effort that went into this costume: Cosplayer Fangirl Physics knitted this Captain America costume, for SacCon in March. It’s made entirely of assembled knitted pieces. She doesn’t carry the Captain’s shield, but she has a pair of knitting needles in her bag to fight freedom’s foes.
For more of her costumes, check out her Facebook page. Make it a point to scroll through her posts. She has an awesome end of last season cosplay of Beth from “The Walking Dead!”
Even though Captain America 3 isn’t scheduled to come out until 2016, and Avengers: Age of Ultron is coming out in May, Steve Rogers would say that every day is a good day for Truth, Honor, and Patriotism!
If you’d like to display your love for Captain America, there are several fashionable DIYs for you to do so!
First, Comm Couture created a freedom trifecta of Cap Pacs for herself and her two sons, in less than one day! She used some different colored felt , some straps, and voila!
Deviantart user AcidDaisy took the stars and stripes to a whole new level with her fashionable Captain America Dress. She also created an incredibly helpful tutorial on how to make your own as well!
Lastly, if you’re looking for a more subtle homage, Tumblr user Tehnakki came up with a beautiful floral emblem of Cap’s Shield to decorate her sweatshirt with, making it a wonderful example of geek chic. She’s posted the pattern shapes she used, as well as a pdf with detailed instructions for everyone who’d like to try it themselves.
Hopefully that was enough of the First Avenger for you! Happy crafting!
So today in the states at least a lovely movie came out. Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Go see it, its fun and a great conspiracy meets Superhero type movie. I even wrote a review here, there is a break before the spoilers if you want to take a read. So in that fashion I wanted a Winter Soldier Geek Craft for today. I mean he shares the name of the movie with Cap, and I’ve already posted a Captain America Sweater.
So this time it’s the Winter Soldier. This free pattern by Maratini on Ravelry are a perfect way to get a fun fiber made metal arm. Much better than being captured and experimented on by evil organizations I would say. And that whole losing an arm bit. That doesn’t seem like any fun.
Well, I can hardly believe it’s December already (so many presents to finish!), but ’tis the season for Christmas trees and ornaments. Luckily for you all, I have found the perfect way to geek up your home for the holidays! These would make great gifts for fellow nerds, or keep them for yourself!
First up, for all of the Captain America fans, make sure your tree is appropriately patriotic with this lovely felt tree skirt! Crafted by the great folks over at With Our Powers Combined, they took a Dollar Store tree skirt and turned it into the Captain America shield. It’s amazing what you can do with creativity and a few yards of felt.
Next, for all you Potterheads out there, adorn your tree with the Golden Snitch! Made by Gabrielle from Tiny Apartment Crafts, this Snitch is made from a gold ornament, some acrylic paint, and some glittery wings crafted from wire and tissue paper. Beautiful and shiny, it’s a perfect addition to any tree!
Well, no matter what day you celebrate, here’s wishing everyone a great holiday season!
So how is your Halloweencostume coming along? I actually have a Halloween costume party to go to this year, and think I may just go easy on myself with a premade Star Trek uniform that I already have, unless I’m inspired by something else I happen along. In case you’re still looking for inspiration, perhaps this Captain America costume is just the thing?
Michele of The Scrap Shoppe provides easy step-by-step instructions for converting a simple children’s sweat set into heroic form, and I would think it would be just as easy to apply to adult-size sweats. I love her idea of masking off the star shape for painting, though it might look neat with a white felt star hand-stitched on, too.
Be sure to click through to see her instructions for making an adorable Thor costume, too!
Made with super bulky yarn and an “N” hook, I bet the pattern comes together pretty quickly. It would make a cool area rug or wall hanging for a kid’s room. Looks like you could also easily adapt it to a pillow, so it would be even more shield-like. What fun it would be to toss that around the room while pretending to save the world!
Anyone else looking forward to the new Joss Whedon series? We certainly are in our house!

Aviation Week and Space Technology has bestowed a Laureate Award to Ball Aerospace and Technologies Corp. for helping NASA identify potential earth-sized planets as the prime contractor on the Kepler mission.
The company built the spacecraft for the mission and in December 2011 identified at least one planet that exists in a “habitable” zone where liquid water could exist on its surface.
It has also identified more than 1,000 potential planets since the mission launch in 2009 and has been simultaneously measuring the brightness of more than 100,000 stars since that year.
A company announcement said its work has almost doubled the amount of potential planets included in a previous count.
The announcement said the award “recognizes teams and individuals for the accomplishments and the inspiration they provide to others in striving for broad-reaching, significant progress in aerospace and aviation.”
Aviation Week handed out the award on March 7 at a Washington, D.C. event at the Mellon auditorium.
It is the second time the company has won the Laureate award after the Deep Impact mission was a finalist for the space award in 2006.
Ball Aerospace was also on a team which won the award for the first servicing mission for the Hubble Space Telescope in 1994.
“Ball Aerospace is proud to be honored for its contribution to the Kepler Mission by Aviation Week’s Laureate award for space,” said David L. Taylor, Ball Aerospace president and CEO. “The Laureate Award for this pioneering spacecraft and its revolutionary scientific discoveries recognizes the dedication of hundreds of Ball Aerospace employees.”

Work-life balance: have you got it right?
Over the past few decades, a dramatic change has occurred in the labour market and demographic profiles of employees. Families have shifted from the traditional male 'breadwinner' role to dual-earner couples and single parent families. Relative to the working environment, organisations are demanding an increase in employee flexibility and productivity. The traditional "job for life" has changed into an economic environment of instability and job uncertainty. Workers' perspectives and expectations have also changed towards work. New orientations towards life-long learning, personal and career development, and an increased awareness and need for a balance between work and life have affected organisations through incentivising the introduction of policies such as flexible working.
As a result of these demographic, employment and organisational trends, both men and women have experienced an increase in demands from the familial, household and work domains
Work-life balance is a broad and complex phenomenon, lacking in a universal definition. Greenhaus and colleagues define work-family balance as the "extent to which an individual is equally engaged in - and equally satisfied with - his or her work role and family role". Work-life balance consists of three components:
- time balance refers to equal time being given to both work and family roles;
- involvement balance refers to equal levels of psychological involvement in both work and family roles;
- and finally, satisfaction balance refers to equal levels of satisfaction in both work and family roles.
Therefore, in order to achieve a work-life balance these components should be considered.
When individuals struggle to maintain and satisfy the demands placed on them by both the work and family domains, an imbalance may occur. Work-family conflict can be defined as a source of stress resulting from irreconcilable pressure from the work and family spheres. This can take two forms:
- work to family conflict and;
- family to work conflict.
Work-family conflict may assume the form of:
- strain-based and;
- behaviour-based conflict.
Research and policies directed at work-life balance have focussed on the causes, consequences and how to improve levels of this phenomenon. This article discusses the changing world of work relative to work-life balance, the motivational factors for why work-life balance should be considered, and provide practical advice for employers and employees.
Changing world of work and families: Perspectives and statistics
In the European Union, 64.2 % of the population are in employment with approximately 19.2% in part-time employment. Over the past 20 years in Europe, particularly in countries where policies are in place for flexible working, part-time employment has been on the rise.
The traditional eight-hour working day is no longer the norm. The emergence of information communication technology ensures that employees may access work 24/7. In addition to this, flexible working hours and shift work have been introduced into organisations. Although these developments have resulted in significantly changed working environments, differences exist across countries.
The European Foundation for the Improvement of Living and Working Conditions conducted research into the 2009 working time developments across European countries. In 2009, the average collectively agreed weekly working time in the European Union was 38.7 hours. However, in relation to self-reported actual hours worked by full-time employees 20 out of 28 countries worked longer hours than those collectively agreed. Those in Romania, Malta, Luxembourg and the UK had the highest levels of actual working hours; whereas Finland, Ireland, France and Italy had the lowest. In addition to these results, differences exist between men and women in actual weekly hours. Men exceeded women in hours worked in all countries, with the average difference being 2.1 hours in the EU27. These statistics suggest that workers are working longer hours, but highlight that there are differences across European countries.
Not only has the working environment transformed in relation to working time and accessibility to work, but the content of work has also changed. There is an increased need for employees to be adaptable, multi-skilled, and having the ability to work to intensive deadlines. In the EU27, approximately 60% of employees perceive that at least a quarter of their time consists of working at a very high speed.
Work-life conflict is prevalent in Europe
It is estimated that more than one quarter of Europeans suffered from some form of work-family conflict.
Relative to time:
- 27% of workers in the EU perceived that they spend too much time at work;
- 28% felt that they spend too little time with their families;
- 36% felt that they do not have enough time for friends and other social contacts;
- 51% believed that they do not have enough time for their own hobbies and interests.
In relation to gender differences, women were more likely to report that they have too little time for daily life activities, whereas men perceived that they spend too much time at work. However, this gender disparity was not present in the Nordic countries. A significant number of workers have difficulties in performing family responsibilities due to work intensity and time: for example, 22% reported that they are too tired from work for household chores, and 10% reported that time spent at work affects their family responsibilities. Women were more likely to cite these pressures than men.

Meryl Davis and Charlie White Win Olympic Gold, Celebrate With ViolinLatest
Meryl Davis and Charlie White won the gold medal in ice dancing at the Sochi Olympics on Monday but they assure their fans that they weren’t always so graceful.
“Seeing each other, learning from each other,” Davis said, explaining the process that led to the Olympic ice dancing gold medal on Monday. “Not just these last four years.
We’ve grown as people over nearly 17 years. When we started, I wasn’t just a young skater. I was a young girl.”
Davis and White began training in Michigan at 10 and 11 years old, respectively, with White a bit behind, reports the Daily News.
“I was a little annoyed I had to go back a few dances that were lower level,” White said. “But it was pretty obvious she was going to hold her own no matter what we did. We were sticking together like glue.”
But it all came together! And their lovely dancing on ice is even more wonderful when someone sets it to Beyoncé’s “Drunk in Love.” And skating’s not all they do: This morning on the Today Show, Charlie revealed another talent: playing the violin.

After Deadline: Crash survivor plans pre-benefit reunion
MANTORVILLE — It's a rare thing when I'm able to follow up on people who have been in the car crashes that are an unfortunate part of my public safety beat.
That made my visit with Molly Riese and her parents, Diane and Steve, that much more enjoyable. There will be a benefit for Molly on Friday, a full six months after she nearly died in a head-on crash near Oxbow Park. They're all looking forward to seeing — and in some cases, finally meeting — people who have supported their family since then.
But a special meeting was set for Sunday, when Molly, Christina Anderson and David and Mary Haukom planned to get together for the first time since the night of the crash.
The Haukoms were in the third vehicle that was involved; the man who plowed into Molly's car in a no-passing zone was passing the Haukoms. Molly's car spun into their van, which ended up in the ditch.
Anderson was one of the first people on the scene; she held Molly's hand and comforted her while they waited for help.
"There'll be tears," Diane Riese said about Sunday's reunion.
"We wanted to do it before the benefit," Molly said. "It'll be emotional enough without adding that." — Kay Fate
Praise for Santa
Jeff Kiger's article about a longtime Santa's departure from Apache Mall elicited comments from a number of readers.
Among them was Suzanne Nisbit, who said she and her family have been visiting Jerry Julian at Apache Mall for the past 13 years.
"My brother, who passed away 14 years ago this December, went to take his picture with Santa every year. My brother died at the age of 38. And he said you're never to old to go see Santa.
"For 13 years, he (Julian) has remembered my brother Rodney and me," she continued. "And every year I look forward to seeing this Santa because he's not only Santa, he's an angel on earth. — Brian Sander

Finally, all of the latest titles of this year’s first round of LTN titles are now available on the web. Presentations of no less than 72 records spanning from R’n’B to contemporary to free-jazz to hip-hop and everything in-between complete with background info and downloadable audio is now available at www.mic.no/english.
Twice a year, MIC ships out parcels of the latest central Norwegian releases to more than 250 recipients around the world. With solid assistance from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, journalists, media representative, organisation officials, researchers and others are supplied with extensive packages of records and artist profiles. The selected releases represent this year's strongest releases within their genres and make up for an impressive cross section of Norwegian cultural life.
Increased government funding means that the number of titles included in the LTN shipments now are increased substantially. Earlier, a standard shipment typically included some 30-35 titles, now MIC is shipping out twice as many records. This gives us not only an opportunity to better present the strengths and qualities of the Norwegian music scene but also to include releases that previously were exempted from the programme i.e. (historically significant) anthologies, compilations and records released on foreign labels.
A couple of highlights from the latest round of LTN presentations:
Thomas Dybdah’s ‘Stray Dogs’, The National Bank, Fenomenon’s ‘Hourglass’, Stavanger Symphony Orchestra’s monumental 8 CD Geirr Tveitt series, The Thing's 'Garage' and Arve Henriksen’s ‘Chiaroscuro’.

IRON MAN: WORLD’S MOST DANGEROUS VOL. 2 (2009):
“I’m just like everybody else now, Pepper. I’m just…normal. And I hate being normal.”
- Tony Stark
Okay, that was for context. Because I believe “World’s Most Dangerous” may have been an attempt to close that Secret Invasion/Iron Man story arc, and here I have only one part of the story. But, it’s a good one! Tony Stark is on the run from Norman Osborn, who became a mayor, stole Tony’s tech and replaced SHIELD with HAMMER. Anyway, this is less an action graphic novel and more a chase across the globe…though there are battle scenes.
What bothers me the most though about this comic is the way Tony Stark is destroying knowledge of his tech by giving himself memory loss and brain damage. Surely, there must be a more efficient way…but we can tell in this respect that the Marvel movie era is in full swing, as it has him swing by Russia, and ultimately to Afghanistan, where it all began…previously his origin began in China.
Cleverly, he borrows Crimson Dynamo’s suit (an older Russian model.) as his understanding of more complex suits begins to dwindle. But, this gets him clobbered by Pepper Potts in her own suit until they recognize each other…there is some forced drama…but it’s nice to see Pepper kick butt for once.
In a way, the story is oddly prophetic…in Iron Man 3 he DOES DESTROY his suits for no good reason. I know…true love or something. But it least here he’s got brain damage as an excuse. There’s a subplot with Iron Man and Madam Masque, suggesting they had an affair…because of his brain damage? I guess when you remove Stark’s intelligence…he becomes a real jerk. But, I suppose he’s doing it for a good cause.
Lastly, at the big showdown in The Middle East…he gets shot by some terrorists, and he tells them they should just finish the job. But, they can’t, seeing that he’s not the “eternal angel of death” they make him out to be. The message is kinda mixed. It’s forgiveness and self-sacrifice, but also…he has the brain damage…which also seems to insinuate that he has a license to be a jerk.
The ending was satisfying, though. Because Stark gets the crap beat out of him by Osborn, showing the world’s media that Osborn isn’t a hero. So, he’s on the way out. It’s an all right read. Especially the little cameo reveal at the end by Thor-in-disguise! Maybe he can give him his brain back! I mean, without his brain, he is kind of a jerk. And I know it’s about empathy and self-sacrifice, but the way it’s portrayed is hardly a disability rights spin. But, maybe that’s next issue…also the art is fantastic…in spite of the sappiness! 2 out 5 stars!

Do you Yum?
This is Yummly. You can join for free. You keep track of recipes that you Yum via a Yum Button on a blog, or through a Chrome or Safari or Firefox extension. You can then organize your your recipes in collections. If you need to find a recipe, and just have collected too many (I have over 3000!), the Yummly search box on your recipe page makes it simple to locate.
A Yum is basically a “like” you can keep track of; a virtual recipe box.
Yummly shows the name of the recipe, that you have Yummed it, how many times the recipe has been yummed, the ingredients (click that recipe and it expands to more ingredient information), where the recipe is hosted, and the name of the recipe.
The stars puzzle me. I have never seen a 5 star recipe on Yummly, but have occasionally seen 3 stars. Normally, I see the 4 stars.
You can make as many, or as few, collections as you like.
The top portion of your recipe box is as follows:
Top Recommended Recipes – these recipes are selected for you based on your Yums and taste preferences.
Recipe Box – your Yummed recipes. These are all the recipes you have Yummed.
Collections – your Yummed recipes you organized.
A Yummed recipe has a check-mark in front of it (to delete a recipe from your collections, un-check the box). To add a recipe to a collection, just tick the box for the collection you would like to organize that recipe into.
To Yum a recipe on Ann’s Entitled Life all you need to do is touch the photograph in a recipe, and click the Yum button. Yummly will add that recipe to your recipe box. You just need to decide what collection it goes into.
You don’t choose the photograph, Yummly does. So regardless of what photo you touch in one of my recipes posts, the Yummly-chosen photo is what is added to your Yummly recipe box. Well, technically it is chosen by schema coding, the programming “language” for recipes. (Learn something new everyday, huh?)

To be in New York City is to be surrounded by art — from world-famous museums to vivid street art. But even in this art-rich environment, the Sisyphus Stones are unique.
Arranged along more than 100 yards of Hudson River shoreline near the George Washington bridge, these three-piece stone statues were named for the Greek king Sisyphus who was doomed by the gods to roll a boulder up a hill for eternity.
The Sisyphus Stones were created by Uliks Gryka, an immigrant from Albania. After building and re-building the statues that were constantly being knocked down, Gryka decided on the one year anniversary of the project to stop and let nature take over.
Feet in 2 World’s podcast editor and former fellow Rosalind Tordesillas recently produced a story for PRI’s The World about the stones, what they represent to their creator and the people who have visited them.

TYPE OF STUDY: Naturalistic prospective study
We know that a subset of patients with late-life depression (LLD) who are treated with electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) develop transient cognitive impairment (TCI). Is there any way to predict which patients will experience the most memory loss? Some studies have linked white matter hyperintensities (WMH), which represent brain damage generally associated with small vessel disease, with an increased risk for TCI in ECT patients (Oudega ML et al, Am J Geriatr Psychiatry 2014;22(2):157–166). This latest study sought to replicate this finding.
In a naturalistic prospective study, 80 elderly patients with severe unipolar depression were followed before and after a course of ECT. All patients started with right unilateral ECT, although approximately one-third required a switch to bilateral ECT due to clinical worsening. Patients had a median age of 73 years and 67.5% were female. All received an MRI, and their cognitive functioning was assessed before and after ECT with the Folstein Mini Mental Status Exam (MMSE). Patients with comorbid psychiatric and neurological illness (including dementia) were excluded and did not differ in baseline cognitive functioning. The goal was to see if there was an association between certain structural brain abnormalities and TCI.
Although MMSE scores dropped significantly during ECT by an average of two points in all participants, scores improved above baseline post-ECT by two to three points and remained stable six months later, independent of structural brain abnormalities. Patients with severe WMH had lower MMSE scores at all stages compared to patients without severe WMH, but the trajectory was similar for both groups. Regardless of the brain finding—such as WMH, medial temporal atrophy (MTA), or global cortical atrophy (GCA)—there was no significant association with degree of cognitive impairment.
Clinicians often worry about the effects of ECT on cognition, especially in patients with known structural brain abnormalities. This study is encouraging, as cognition returned to baseline levels post-ECT independent of the severity of WMH, MTA, or GCA. As ECT is the most effective treatment for LLD, we can continue to recommend ECT in patients with severe WMH and cognitive impairment.

Bil’s rating (out of 5): BBBB.
Original title: Sedotta e Abbandonata
Italy/France, 1964. Lux Film, Ultra Film, Vides Cinematografica, Lux Compagnie Cinématographique de France. Story by Pietro Germi, Luciano Vincenzoni, Screenplay by Agenore Incrocci, Furio Scarpelli, Pietro Germi, Luciano Vincenzoni. Cinematography by Aiace Parolin. Produced by Franco Cristaldi, Luigi Giacosi. Music by Carlo Rustichelli. Production Design by Carlo Egidi. Costume Design by Angela Sammaciccia. Film Editing by Roberto Cinquini.
Absolutely hysterical follow-up to Divorce Italian Style, with Pietro Germi once again lampooning Italian society through the genre of sex comedy. A Sicilian family is rocked to the core when gorgeous daughter Stefania Sandrelli is left pregnant by her sister’s boyfriend, meaning that the already tempestuous patriarch of their venerable clan (Saro Urzì, deservedly taking a Best Actor prize at Cannes that year) is going to blow his lid dealing with it. He locks her up and threatens the life of her lover, but things get complicated when the young man suddenly decides he doesn’t want damaged goods (even though he damaged them), while she risks her reputation and name by taking it to the courts, prompting Urzi to convince his mild-mannered son to kill his sister’s seducer. Lots of slaps, lots of village gossip and plenty of pasta in a film directed with rich vigour and brimming over with as many laughs as issues, with characters who are both at the mercy of and in completely responsible for the ages-old social problems they face.
The Criterion Collection: #350

Councillors have granted planning permission to two new homes in a quiet Fulstow street - despite a similar plan for three homes being turned down just six months ago.
East Lindsey District Council’s planning committee met on Thursday (October 5) and approved the plans for land off Cassbrook Drive, after it was recommended for conditional approval by the Council’s head of planning, Chris Panton.
The applicant is Mr Martin Leonard, of Cassbrook Drive, and the new homes would be built on land behind his home.
Mr Leonard’s previous proposal, for three homes on the land, was refused in March.
A number of complaints, submitted by residents at the time, were reiterated ahead of last week’s decision - including flood risk, drainage, road safety, noise, infrastructure, and the design and layout.
Mr Leonard spoke at last week’s meeting, explaining that he had taken ‘proactive advice’ from planning officers following the previous refusal.
He said: “The size of the site was not in contention for the proposal. The key issues were the level of activity associated with three dwellings, and the potential impact.”
Mr Leonard said that he had proposed a new boundary fence, and said there is already an existing high fence which provided ‘adequate’ protection. He added that the indicative siting allowed ‘ample separation distance’ from other nearby properties.
The committee was convinced that the new plan was a significant improvement on the previous plan, and granted approval by eight votes to one, with one abstention.

Is it possible to clean the filter of a vacuum cleaner and how to do it correctly
Vacuum cleaner has made cleaning easier and faster. The main task after cleaning is to clean your electric handyman and throw away the garbage collected in a bag or container. But for the vacuum cleaner to serve longer and collect dust as well as when bought. you need to monitor the condition of his filters. Some can be cleaned, some can be washed, and some are disposable. In this article we’ll take a look at whether and how different vacuum cleaner filters can be cleaned.
Vacuum cleaner sucks in air and debris by running a turbine attached to an electric motor. To ensure that all particles do not pass through it as through a pipe, as well as not to clog the turbine and the electric motor, it has several stages of filtration:
Coarse cleaning or where the garbage is stored
The function of the first filter and garbage collector is usually performed by either a plastic container (in more expensive models), or a garbage bag (more common in cheaper models). The bag can either be made of thick fabric, in which case it is reusable, or of filter paper. it is disposable. The bag is installed between the inlet hose and the motor filter.
Paper bags are convenient in that they do not need to be shaken out. cleaned the apartment and thrown in the trash, but you need to constantly replenish their stock. Fabric bags are reusable, but they need to be emptied every time and sometimes cleaned from the accumulated dust deposits with a stiff bristle brush.
There may also be a reservoir of water created for the same purposes as described above.
Install a filter between the dust container and the turbine motor to trap fine dust particles. It is often made of sponge-pressed fiber or a material similar to a foam sponge. Its task is to prevent large particles from passing into the engine compartment.
At the outlet of the vacuum cleaner there is a third filter for microscopic particles. To keep the bag and motor filter from blowing dust out of the vacuum cleaner. In this case, use the cheapest models of sponges made of pressed fibers, or HEPA filters. High Efficiency Particulate Air) in mid- and high-end models. Charcoal filters can also be used. they not only clean the air from dust particles, pollen and dust mites, but also from unpleasant odors, which is especially important in the apartments of smokers.
How to clean a vacuum cleaner filter: instructions
Note that you can try to clean disposable filters, but you shouldn’t do it because you won’t get long-lasting, good results.
If the vacuum cleaner doesn’t “pull” well, warms up, and its operating sound changes. check the filters and check if the hose is clogged with cellophane or other airtight debris.
Let’s understand which types of filters in a vacuum cleaner clean and which don’t.
The dust bag or dust canister.
Paper and thin synthetic products are not cleanable. For a small apartment, it can take anywhere from a few cleanings to up to a month of regular use, depending on the size and amount of debris. The fabric bags can be cleaned, shaken out and even washed. Their base, with which it is attached to the vacuum cleaner, is usually made of plastic with a rubber cuff inside. They can also be cleaned with a compressed air stream.
Depending on the model and model of the cleaner, to remove the bag you must either open the lid on the faceplate (takes up most of its surface area) or open the lid on the front panel, which is provided for this purpose. When you see the bag, pay attention to its attachment: it may be secured with a clip or peg. In the latter case, you need to press the attachment lever and remove the bag from the hook, after which you can clean it as you like.
Cyclone filter is a plastic container in which debris is pressed against the walls and is held by centrifugal force. Such a dust canister can also be washed, of course after turning off the vacuum cleaner. This type allows you to quickly and easily get rid of trash, unlike the previous type. it does not need to be brushed or washed. It is enough to shake out the garbage, and in case of severe clogging. rinse with water and let it dry.
Usually removed from the vacuum cleaner by a separate module, remotely resembling a schedule or a kettle. After removal, you can remove the cover and discard all the contents.
Good type, the particles in which are retained in the water. After cleaning, cleaning consists of pouring out the dirty water and washing the filter itself. The removal and construction in general remotely resembles the cyclone type, and the principle of operation resembles a hookah. Dust is sucked in from above and the filter is 1/3 full of water (depending on the model).
The air from the container is sucked in such a way that there is a layer of water and a baffle between the air intake (hose) and the turbine. There is no connection between the inlet and outlet, everything is sealed. Thus, like a hookah draft, where the smoke passes through the water. also passes the dust and “incoming” air. Dust goes through this layer, gets wet and settles, a clean airflow comes out of the water.
Foam filters are used as a filter in front of the motor and at the vacuum cleaner’s outlet along with the HEPA filter elements. They are easy to clean with a brush that is not too tough. You can also wash them.
This is best done with soap or other detergent. That way you get rid of unpleasant smells.
Do not squeeze the filter too much, it is better to let it dry on its own. This way, you prolong the life of the foam and do not deform it. Otherwise, it will either tear or not fit. Also note that when you brush it, you may tear it.
You can make a new one with your own hands from a sponge such as dishwashing sponge. It is better if the foam is not too porous to let the dust in, and not too dense, so as not to obstruct the airflow.
Modern filters of this type are paper. disposable and polymeric. The last type of “HEPA” is easy to clean. To do this, remove pieces of dust with a brush with a medium-hard lint (so as not to damage the element) and rinse it under water. After that. dry it.
- Disconnect the power supply;
- Open the cover that conceals the dust canister;
- Remove the filter. One is mounted on the back of the vacuum cleaner. To remove it, simply open the rear grill (it may be underneath) and gently pull the filter.
All types and styles of filters can be held in place with plastic latches or levers. So once again carefully inspect everything, if the element does not remove.
The rarest of all filter types listed above. Its peculiarity is that it “removes” unpleasant odors. Structurally, the carbon element is rectangular in shape. a plastic base that is filled with compressed carbon pellets. It is disposable, the most you can do is clean the clogged dust with a brush. Because of the high price. it is difficult to replace it, also it is worth noting that it absorbs odors always, not only when the vacuum cleaner is on.
It is actually possible to clean any filter, but only foam and HEPA elements made of polymer materials are tolerant to water.
All paper fiber elements should not be wet, if you want to clean them anyway, you can blow with compressed air, such as from a car tire compressor.
Better to clean outside or on the balcony. Remember that dust contains many bacteria, including dust mites.

How to prepare the filter for cleaning
Any algorithm on how to clean the filter of a vacuum cleaner involves thoroughly preparing the device for this procedure. It depends on the device model, its technical features and even the size.
Usually a vacuum cleaner provides at least 2 stages of filtration. coarse and fine. The first is the collection of debris directly into a dust collector, which includes cloth or paper bags, containers. Next, the air moves to a finer cleaning system. the filter at the outlet of the device, as which the manufacturers often install a hepa system. Most modern models are also equipped with a motor compartment filter, which prevents it from clogging. For proper operation of the household cleaning equipment, it is important to clean all three filter elements.
Preparing any cleaning device for filter cleaning should include the following preparatory steps:
- The vacuum cleaner must be unplugged, as it is dangerous to disassemble the unit while it is on. The power cord should preferably be coiled and placed in the box provided on the model.
- Place the vacuum cleaner on an area of the floor, free of carpeting. It is advisable to lay down a mat or newspaper to avoid unnecessary dust and dirt. It is not recommended to perform any manipulations “by weight”.
- Only remove filters from the unit according to the instructions supplied with each model. It is preferable to clean all 3 filters: the dust bag or canister, the engine compartment filter element, and the fine filter cartridge at the outlet of the vacuum cleaner.
Bosch Athlet Vacuum Cleaner Air Filter Clean
Cleaning the coarse filter compartment
The first step is to remove the main dust collector of the device, whether it is a bag or a container, depending on the model. In this case, the algorithm, how to clean the filter of vacuum cleaner Samsung, may differ from the model of another brand, even if they have the same filtration system. It is important to perform all actions to remove the elements according to the instructions.
Modern models are equipped with three types of filters, and the cleaning algorithm for each of them is different.
Clean a cyclone vacuum cleaner
The dust collector in cyclone models is a plastic container. The main debris is deposited on its walls, and the exhaust air is cleaned from fine dust particles and household allergens by the pre-motor and HEPA filters. If they are clogged, the vacuum cleaner draws air worse, and the motor is overloaded. That is why the filter system has to be cleaned after each cleaning.
How to Clean the Filter of a Cyclone Vacuum Cleaner?
On the back of the body of the vacuum cleaner is a fine filter, or HEPA filter. It is needed to additionally clean the air from the smallest dust particles, pollen, mold, other household allergens and microorganisms. HEPA is not afraid of water, so it should be cleaned regularly.
- Remove the lid of the compartment containing the HEPA filter. Slightly loosen the clamp that holds it in place and pull the filter toward you.
- Lightly tap it on a hard surface to shake off dirt.
- Can I Wash a Hepa Filter?? Yes, but only without using detergents. After washing, leave the part to dry naturally.
Cleaning the cordless vacuum cleaner
A separate kind of cyclonic vacuum cleaner are cordless models. The process of cleaning them after each cleaning is as follows:
Clean your sofa and carpet easily|bosch aqua wash and clean series4 Vacuum Cleaner(English edition)
- Loosen the catch and separate the tube from the housing and the brush from the tube.
- Clean the container by opening its bottom lid over the dustbin.
- With the container facing downwards, turn it slightly clockwise and carefully detach it from the housing. Remove the cover from the cylindrical HEPA filter by pulling it upwards.
- Rotate the filter screen clockwise (Fig.1), remove it, and then disconnect the secondary cyclone system tube.
- Remove the cover from the filter (fig.2), shake off the dust and rinse with cool water without any cleaner (Fig.3). Wash the plastic container in the same way.
- Reassemble the cleaner when all parts are completely dry.
How to use
A powerful helper in the difficult struggle for cleanliness is a washing vacuum cleaner Bosch with an aquafilter. How to use the device, and what conditions must be observed when working with the device let’s consider in more detail.
The main working elements of the design are for the water tank: clean and dirty. The former is usually smaller in volume, as the latter is designed not only for used liquid, but also for picking up debris and dirt.
Before using the device, the reservoir is filled with pure water, and, if necessary, a special detergent and a special defoamer are added to prevent the filters from getting dirty, observing all the proportions and dosages precisely. Often the capacity of this tank is extremely small, then it may be necessary to add water with detergents still in the process of cleaning to complete the process. This causes some difficulties, but in general is not critical.
Then it is necessary to clip the capillary tube to the connector on the housing and to the nozzle, then during the operation of the device the solution will be fed through this socket, and splash on the floor surface. Then connect the tube to the flexible hose, which is inserted into the specific connector. And only after all the manipulations you can take out the power cord, and turn on the unit in the network. It is important to check the correctness and strength of connections, as well as the integrity and tightness of all components, then the work of the device will be flawless. If you plan to use the vacuum cleaner only for dry cleaning, then do not pour water into the tanks.
After the completion of the cleaning process, the device is unplugged, the cable is rolled into a special compartment, the container with dirty water is taken out, which is drained into the sewer. All removable elements (filters, containers, etc.) are not subjected to heavy loads.д.) are thoroughly rinsed under running water. Then the parts are dried and stored out of reach of children. In addition, some filters require periodic replacement with new ones, as they fail, and are not able to cope with the purification of air at the proper level. You can store the vacuum cleaner in the assembled state, so that if you need to quickly use it.
In the question of how to use a vacuum cleaner Bosch, the video on the topic will help to understand everything in more detail.
A Bosch vacuum cleaner will become an indispensable helper in any apartment or private home. The device does not take up much space, while greatly simplifying the life of any housewife. The main thing is not to make a mistake in choosing the unit and carefully study the attached document, this will allow you to achieve maximum efficiency and extend the life of the useful device.
Preparatory stage and its peculiarities
Before cleaning, it is necessary to think over the place where we will do it. Choose a place without a carpet, so that in the case of spilled debris, it is easy to remove the surface. Next you will need:
- Appropriate size silicone gloves;
- clothes which can then be easily washed;
- A convenient container of warm water;
- dish detergent;
- Microfiber cloth;
- A stiff sponge and soft brush.
In order not to stain the floor, we use a triplex or a 1m² thick oilcloth. This will save you from additional cleaning when the process is complete.
Unplug the vacuum and open the filter cover. Leave it like this for 15-30 minutes to cool down after operation. The first thing we do is wipe the power cord with a damp cloth and a dry. Then remove the filter and proceed to clean the vacuum cleaner.
How to Clean a Vacuum Cleaner at Home
Keep a close eye on the condition of the filter and dust collection unit. Clean the vacuum immediately if it is full. To prevent engine malfunction, it is enough to check the condition of the filter once a month:
- We take out and knock out if the model is old. If it’s a new generation, clean it with a brush.
- Wiping with a damp cloth to finally remove all the dirt and dust. If the model is not afraid of water, just rinse thoroughly and let dry well. This is to ensure that the new debris that will fall into the filter does not begin to rot.
Cleaning the robot vacuum cleaner is not particularly different from the standard one:
- Turn it upside down and press the fixing button to release the filter.
- Remove the box with the debris, open it and throw everything in the bag. Wipe with a damp cloth and let it dry completely.
- Wipe the cabinet with a damp cloth and detergent to remove all accumulated dust and dirt.
If the filter is ruined, it should be replaced with a new one. This should be done every 1-1.5 years.
You need to know how to properly clean a Rainbow Cleaner to remove all possible dirt:
- We remove the container with dirty water from the housing and drain it into the sewer.
- Rinse the tank with warm water and detergent, wipe with a cloth and let it completely dry.
- While the main block is drying, we wipe the housing compartment where it was placed with a soft, damp sponge. Wipe with a clean cloth and leave to dry out.
The Bosch vacuum cleaner has a cyclone filter. This system is in the form of a dust collector, where the incoming debris under the influence of a working turbine is thrown to the walls. When the tank is full, the indicator light signals the need for cleaning. Each time you empty the “cyclone” we rinse it with soap solution using a sponge. Dry it well and put it back in.
Modern vacuum cleaners are often equipped with a Nera filter that is able to trap all impurities. These are available on Samsung, Tefal and other models. Most often it looks like an accordion of cloth (water-resistant paper) enclosed in a plastic frame. It consists of three resin bonded layers and is able to trap not only dirt but also unpleasant odors. Nera filters are available as disposable or washable.
In the first case, you need to replace it with a new one, and in the second. proper cleaning:
- Remove the filter and clean with a soft brush.
- For serious dirt soak in soapy water (except for paper) and leave for 10 minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
- Remove excess moisture with a well-absorbent cloth and leave to dry.
It is not recommended to dry the Nera filter on a radiator, a hair dryer or an electric fireplace. This will deform the accordion and it will no longer perform its function properly. So we spread out all the wrinkles and put it in a warm place.
Here’s the most effective way to clean the brush and all the accessories, following which you can avoid equipment breakdown. Take off the lid of the robot vacuum cleaner, take out the brush and wash it with detergent and under running water. Allow to dry completely and reattach.
In other cases, disassemble the tube into separate elements and disconnect the brush with the carpet/floor function to clean out hair, hair and other dirt. If there are other attachments, put them in order in the same way:
- Add detergent to the water.
- Gently wash the nozzles with a brush. Leave in the product for 10-15 minutes, so that all the dirt is well soaked and dissolved.
- Remove coils of hair and pet hair with a pair of tweezers or cut them off with scissors, being careful not to damage the bristles.
- Rinse dirt and detergent off with running water.
- Clean the tube with a cloth and tie it with twine. Flush all the way in. Pull on both ends to clean the walls of dirt and dust. In the same way we clean the flexible part of the pipe, rinse and let it dry completely.
Never attempt to reassemble the vacuum cleaner immediately after cleaning. This will cause the water to sour and produce a rotten smell. All items should be allowed to dry completely before putting them in the box or securing them back.
To prevent the formation of harmful bacteria and fungi in the components of the vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to wash the tubes, nozzles and housing with a solution of water and apple (wine) vinegar in equal proportions once a month. And then dry it and do not leave it in places with high humidity.
Bleeding the motor
It, too, is prone to dirt and requires regular cleaning, which is easier to do yourself. To do this, remove all filters, take the appliance out onto a balcony and turn it on, setting the power to the maximum, if it is adjustable. Tilt the device from different angles and shake it gently. Turn it off after a few minutes, let the motor cool down and wipe the top with a damp cloth.
Remove the odor
If the filter, hose and nozzles are not cleaned in time, the dust that has accumulated in them begins to smell. Cloth containers are the most often affected. Washable vacuum cleaners are also prone to odors, which is caused by stagnant dirty water if not changed on time.
Things are better with disposable filters if they are changed immediately after cleaning. This prevents the odor from accumulating and spreading. In other cases, you must be careful not to leave food debris in the filters, which can begin to decompose and, as a consequence, cause very unpleasant odors.
Preparation and precautions
You should start with the container. After each cleaning, remove the filter and pour all contents into a separate bag. If the dirt is thrown directly into the trash, the collected dust and dirt can be scattered all over the apartment again. Next, clean the container with a lid, paying attention to every corner. small dust particles may remain in them.
The other elements can be cleaned less frequently: after every second or third cleaning. Remove filters according to instructions; it depends on the model of the vacuum cleaner. The hose and tube may be cleaned with normal tap water. Repeat the procedure until the water is clear. After that all the parts should be well dried and only then assemble.
The robot vacuum cleaner is usually started every day. But such regular use also implies more frequent maintenance of the device.
If there is a problem, such as hair wrapped around the brush and it interferes with its operation, the robot itself will notify the owner. If this happens, you should unplug it immediately and clean it. You could damage the brush or the robot will not be able to continue cleaning.
You need to clean the robot every week to prevent clogs and soiling. They start with the bin. You don’t need a screwdriver to remove the cover. all models have clips for convenience. You need to pour the contents into a bag and tie it up, and the container itself. rinse thoroughly under running water and dry.
It comes with an optional sharp-toothed plastic comb to quickly remove trapped hair, threads, and hair from the main brush. If the brush is badly clogged and the comb fails, you can cut off the coiled hair with scissors or tear it with a sewing ripper. Do it carefully so as not to cut or damage the bristles.
The side combs can also accumulate dirt, so they need to be cleaned every week. Dust particles may also unnoticeably deposit on the sensors, which may prevent them from working correctly and navigating in the space of the apartment. Therefore they should be periodically wiped with a damp cloth or rag.
Brush and Turbo Brush Cleaning
Brushes need to be cleaned more often because they tend to clog more often. It is not only dust that accumulates on the bristles, but also other debris.
If a turbo nozzle is installed, the brush will not rotate properly due to clogging. It causes deterioration of suction power and motor wear and tear since the motor is under extra strain.
The turbo brush is regularly cleaned by disassembling it completely. There is a shaft embedded under the cover and it must be freed from debris with a pair of tweezers. Then it is necessary to wipe the dust from the bearings and blades. Before reassembling, lubricate the bearings with industrial oil.
Particular attention should be paid to cleaning the brush
How to take care of the motor
Do not clean the motor yourself at home. It is best to entrust this procedure to specialists of the service center.
In order to remove dust from the motor, you need:
- screw the bolts on the device body;
- remove the dust canister, open it;
- Remove the dust from the parts using the brush;
- clean the circuit board.
Important! Do not tamper with the components and do not tamper with the arrangement of the wires.
How a vacuum cleaner motor works
The two major motor parts in all modern vacuum cleaners are the drive, aka motor of the collector type (also called a motor), and the fan, which is located on the rotor shaft. In fact, they are what provide the improvised “vacuum” that allows the vacuum cleaner to perform its functions. From high school physics curriculum. the space free of particles and matter fills with an alternate substance, in the case of a vacuum cleaner it is microscopic dirt and dust. The nozzles and brushes ensure the capture of these small particles, and after filtering the air, they settle in the filters and the dust canister.
Further information about the motor. The collector motor consists of:
Repairing the Motor
Below will be given tips, using which you can repair the vacuum cleaner yourself. All the parts of the cleaner must be handled with the utmost care, especially the motor. De-energize the appliance before you do any work on it.
The impeller is misaligned
To return the impeller in its proper place, you need a simple correction through the loosening and fixing the nut that holds it back. Never stop the impeller with pliers to remove the nut. Attempting to do so will permanently damage the impeller. By carefully correcting the location to the part, you will solve the problem without any loss.
Screws are loose
There are cases when, after prolonged use, the screws do not just “float” but fall out. Carefully disassemble the cleaner and check each one with a screwdriver. If you find “spinning” of any screw, it is worth trying to replace it with another one with a larger diameter. The difference, of course, should be minimal.
The rotor bearings are worn out
Worn bearings are a serious problem. As mentioned above, the problem with the bearings is obvious if the unit’s suction power keeps changing from very weak to normal. If a fault or damage is detected, the bearings are immediately replaced with new ones.
As with the impeller, this part can be easily damaged with pliers during disassembly, so great care must be taken when making repairs.
Deformed electric brushes
The motor brushes are in a kind of brass shafts (in fact, it is just carbon in the form of graphite). Brushes rub against the collector shaft during use and their center is worn out. They become semicircular in shape, and their contact area with the working surface of the manifold grows. The springs in the above mines are responsible for the degree to which the graphite is pressed against the collector. The brush will work until it is completely worn out. So it is the wear and tear process that you should pay attention to. Of course, before the condition of the brushes can be evaluated, they must be thoroughly cleaned.
Motor is heavily contaminated
The vacuum cleaner must be completely disassembled first and then the motor. Clean each removable part separately with a damp cloth or tissue. If there is large debris stuck in the motor parts, do not rush to remove it by force. before you do it, you should check whether it will damage any fragile part of the motor structure.
The winding or armature is damaged
Unfortunately, if such a problem is diagnosed, only a complete replacement of the motor can help. At Bosch service centers, this replacement costs almost as much as a new vacuum cleaner, so learning how to disassemble the unit and motor yourself can be an extremely economical skill.
There are only two methods: dry cleaning with compressed air and wet cleaning with a stream of cool water.
Manufacturers strongly recommend not using standard detergents, solvents or household washer fluids for cleaning. Also, do not use any alkaline or acidic substances. As the air is drawn in through the filter system, dangerous molecules can be absorbed and released into the environment in the form of microdispersed vapor. And this, in turn, is fraught with serious health consequences.
How to Get the Filter Out
Often it is a detachable unit of the vacuum cleaner which comes off the latches or “pops off” when a special button is pressed.
How to clean a vacuum cleaner‘s filters
If your unit has reusable filter elements, they are washable and washable. Plastic waste container can be washed in running water, synthetic bags and foam filter can be washed by hand without powder.
Do not use hot water or detergents!
HEPA. paper filters are blown dry with cool air, but after a few such procedures, it will still need to be replaced with a new one.
Disposable garbage bags are best thrown away after use, but you can wait until they are full (don’t wait until they are full to the brim, this will break the vacuum cleaner!)
Combination cleaners must first be disassembled, then each part must be washed in cool water, dried and only then reassembled.
Can I wash the filter from a vacuum cleaner??
The manufacturer’s instructions provide recommendations for care and cleaning methods for the filter. If the manufacturer did not specify that it is washable, it is better not to take the risk, since most filters are made of paper, including most brands of HEPA. If the filter is made of plastic, or synthetic fabric, then you can and should wash it. The only thing that would be desirable would be to dry it out so that there is no unpleasant smell.
How to Clean a Paper Filter from a Vacuum Cleaner?
Disposable garbage bags made of thin paper are best discarded. If it is a dense, double-layer reusable reservoir or a HEPA filter with a paper bellows, these must first be thoroughly emptied. Afterwards, brush gently with a dry brush and blow out with cool air.
How to Clean a Vacuum Cleaner Cyclone Filter?
Most vacuum cleaner manufacturers recommend cleaning the cyclone system after each cleaning. Take it apart into its components. a container and a microporous filter, and rinse it thoroughly in warm running water without the use of household chemicals. Then also dry thoroughly, and then reassemble.
Cleaning the foam filters
The foam filter can be washed by hand without using detergents or household chemicals, as they will destroy this material. It should be dried thoroughly because it is highly absorbent.
Do not dry foam filters on the heater, thus you will make it unusable for further use.
It is also undesirable to unscrew the sponge filter, you should only squeeze lightly, otherwise you risk ruining it by destroying the microporous structure. As a result, it will lose its absorptive capacity and will become unusable.
Cleaning a vacuum cleaner with a water filter
Causes of Contamination
Aquafilters help get rid not only of dust, but also of parasites and pet hair. It works on the principle of a sieve, which in this case is water. air with dust is sucked into the container, then the separator runs it through the water, separating all dirt particles, including odor molecules and pathogenic bacteria.
How often should you clean??
To prevent bacteria and fungi from multiplying in the dirty water, the aquafilter should be dismantled, rinsed through all parts, and dried thoroughly immediately after cleaning.
Clean nozzles and hose
After cleaning, you can disassemble and clean the front of the cleaner. For this you need to disconnect the hose, telescopic tube and nozzles. Rinse them in warm water and dry them thoroughly.
Separate attention should be paid to the brush. Use scissors to cut up the coiled hair and wool, and then clean out the debris with a stiff brush or tweezers. After that you can rinse it in warm water.
Blow out the motor
To clean the motor, take it outside or out on the balcony, first disconnecting the hoses and nozzles and removing all filters. You need to turn it on and, by tilting it in different directions, change the power mode several times. Or clamp the opening of the hose with your hand and hold it for a couple of minutes.
Remove the odor
First of all, you need to understand the cause of the odour. Then rinse and thoroughly dry all filters and containers, wash the vacuum cleaner and blow out the motor compartment.
Always check the insulation integrity if it smells like burnt plastic.
If the odor remained, take the components of the vacuum cleaner out for several days to “air out”, making sure there are no mold or mildew on the parts. If the latter are found, treat the damaged parts with a special agent or replace them with new ones.
In this article you learned about all popular types of filters and specifics of their maintenance. As you can see there are no difficulties, and if you take care of the equipment properly and timely, you will prolong its life many times over.
