What Happens When You Vacuum Water: Understanding the Risks and Consequences
If you vacuum water, the vacuum cleaner will likely be damaged and may pose an electrical hazard. Water may cause the motor to short circuit and damage internal components such as the filter and fan. Additionally, the vacuum may not be designed to handle moisture and may result in mold growth or unpleasant smells. It is best to avoid vacuuming water and use a wet/dry vacuum specifically designed for these types of spills.
