In cleaning the home there are some corners or surfaces that are usually difficult to clean well. This happens, for example, with carpets or surfaces where hair and lint accumulate, which can bring some respiratory problems for those who live there, due to the accumulation of mites.
Appliances are often expensive and consume a lot of energy. Or it could be that your vacuum cleaner just broke down. For this reason, you can learn to create a homemade and economical alternative that, by reusing some materials that you can find without much difficulty, will allow you to create a small homemade vacuum cleaner to clean all the surfaces in your home.
- 1 plastic bottle of 2 liters
- 1 can of soda
- Small electric motor (12 volts) and its batteries
- A piece of mesh cloth and wire
- metal saw
- Glue gun
- Scissors
- Putty
- Double-sided adhesive tape
- A piece of hose or vacuum arm
- Duct tape
- cutter
Process
1. Cut the clean plastic bottle into 3 parts (top spout, middle and bottom base). You will use only the peak and bottom parts, one inside the other.
2. Carefully cut the can using the saw and scissors to obtain a flat aluminum surface.
3. Mark the circumference of the bottle on the foil and cut it out. Now outline the center with the bottle cap, mark it and, around it, make straight diagonal lines, to form the blades of a propeller, as you can see in the photograph. Make a small hole in the center and tilt them slightly with your fingers.
4. Using putty, join the propeller to the motor.
5. Drill a hole in the bottom of the bottle, just big enough to fit the motor. Fix it on the back with the glue gun.
6. Place a circumference of double-sided tape around the mouth of the bottom of the bottle.
7. With wire, make a circumference the size of the mouth of the bottom of the bottle, and wrap it in the mesh fabric, using the glue and scissors to make it neat. That will be the filter of the vacuum cleaner.
8. Place the filter inside the bottle. It should stay on top of the part of the bottle that you have the motor on.
9. Put the part of the bottle nozzle that you have not used yet, and fit it with the other.
10. Put a piece of arm or vacuum hose on the part of the lid. Secure with electrical tape, and voila!
