You can then allow it to air dry and then put it back into your vacuum.

The second concern is the dirt cup. This is rather self-explanatory and simple to clean, but important to if the dirt cup is full. To clean these, they simply have a bottom-release design on both models. This allows you to easily empty them without having to come into direct contact with any dirt or dust.

The capacity on the Bissell Pet Hair Eraser has a dirt cup capacity of 1.5 liters. Fortunately, many customers say that the dirt cup has a generous capacity that allows them to clean for a while before it needs emptied.
