After the recent Black Friday shopping spree, many people snapped up their favorite mattress vacuums at substantial discounts. As we all know, mites tend to multiply rapidly in bedding during autumn and winter, and a mattress vacuum cleaner lets you give your bed a "deep clean" for a more restful sleep. However, many people plug in and use the new device right away without noticing the crucial maintenance steps after unboxing. Little do they know that such neglect not only reduces the mite-removal efficiency but also quietly shortens the machine's lifespan. Today we share expert guidance: regardless of your mattress vacuum model, these preparatory steps are essential. We'll walk you through how to make this "Black Friday haul" last longer and maintain its strong cleaning power.
Step 1 of Unboxing: Check Accessories & Appearance—Don't Accept If Anything Is Missing
Many people tend to tear open the package right away when unboxing a delivery, but they often fail to notice if the seller has missed any accessories. It’s not until they want to use the product that they panic. Actually, the correct way is simple: first check all accessories against the instruction manual, then carefully inspect the product’s appearance. Though this step seems basic, it can help you avoid troubles in after-sales claims later and spot potential issues with the machine in advance, making future use more hassle-free.
First, find a flat table, pour out all items from the box, and sort them into three categories: "main unit," "accessories," and "documents." Take the JIGOO T600 mattress vacuum cleaner as an example; its standard accessories include 1 mite cleaner, 1 filter sponge, 2 fragrance tablets, 1 user manual, and 1 cleaning brush. Once you’ve laid out these accessories, don’t rush to put them away. First, check if the quantity is correct, then see if the packaging of each accessory is intact—for instance, whether the filter sponge is crushed or deformed, and if the individual packaging of the fragrance tablets is open. For corded mattress vacuums, remember to check if the power cord’s outer covering has scratches or breaks; for cordless models, focus on verifying if the charging cable is in excellent condition. You can do a quick test later to ensure it can charge the machine properly before moving on.
Next is the inspection of the machine’s appearance—just focus on three key areas: First, inspect the roller brush compartment. After opening the compartment cover, check if there’s any hair or dust tangled around the roller brush, then see if the brush bristles are neat. If you observe that the roller brush is crooked or some bristles have fallen off, it’s likely due to impact during transportation. In such cases, please contact the seller for a replacement promptly; it is not advisable to make do with it. Second, you should inspect the air suction port. Gently run your hand around the edge of the suction port to feel for burrs or cracks. If the suction port isn’t properly sealed, you’ll notice a significant decline in suction power during use, which will also reduce the mite-removal effect. Third, examine the outer casing of the machine. Check for scratches or paint chipping on the surface, and pay extra attention to the button area—when pressing the buttons, the feel should be smooth without jamming, and the buttons shouldn’t feel loose. Otherwise, they’re prone to malfunctions after long-term use.
If you find any missing accessories or appearance damage during the check, be sure to keep the packaging and unboxing video, and contact customer service immediately for assistance. Don’t think this step is a hassle. Handling it in advance not only prevents frustration from problems during later use but also stops the seller from refusing after-sales service on the grounds of "man-made damage," protecting your rights.
Daily Battery Maintenance: Key to Machine Protection
Lithium batteries in newly manufactured mattress vacuum cleaners usually retain a small amount of power (usually 20%-30% as shown on the display). This is a protective measure to prevent the battery from being exhausted during long-term storage. Take the JIGOO S100 cordless mattress vacuum cleaner as an example. When you see the red light flashing slowly, it means the battery level of the mattress vacuum is below 10%. At this time, please stop using the machine and keep it charging. When you notice the blue light flashing slowly, the battery level is between 10% and 99%. When the blue light becomes steady, it indicates that the battery is fully charged (100%), and you can unplug the charger.
In addition, the device must be turned off when charging. Never use it while it is plugged in. Many people think that "using while charging saves time", but they don't know that this will make the lithium battery charge and discharge at the same time, generating a lot of heat. This operation may not only cause the body to overheat, but also accelerate battery aging. It is recommended to charge the mattress vacuum in a well-ventilated and cool place—avoid direct sunlight and stay away from heat sources such as heaters or air conditioners. Do not cover the device with clothes, towels or other items when charging, as this will hinder normal heat dissipation.
Adhering to the above recommendations effectively protects the battery. Subsequently, simply ensure charging occurs when the remaining power level reaches 10%-20%, and unplug the power source immediately upon full charge. Avoid long-term storage while plugged in—this practice can extend the lithium battery's lifespan by 2-3 years.
Conclusion
The mattress vacuum cleaner purchased on Black Friday is undoubtedly a capable ally in enhancing your quality of life. However, to ensure its long-term efficient operation, it is essential to carry out these steps after unboxing: inspect all accessories to avoid subsequent after-sales complications and perform the initial charge to activate the unit and safeguard battery longevity.
In fact, when using any household cleaning product, you should follow the principle of "30% use and 70% maintenance." Spending a little more time on basic maintenance can make this "Black Friday treasure" play a greater role and accompany you longer.
