What do you do if cloth gets caught in pipe?

I agree with the previous comment in saying there is something larger stuck in the pipe. I have had some success at clearing a pipe by reversing the suction using a shop vac. Meaning, hook a shop vac hose up to the wall outlet of the central vac. You probably have to use some duct tape to seal that connection then turning on the shop vac. If you're lucky you may suck the clog backwards into the shop vac. I've also used an electricians "fish tape" with some success, depending on where the clog is located. Good luck.

Diane, I never had that problem, but the first thing I would do is empty the canister to gain 100% suction and then cup your hand over the hose to attempt to pull the cloth to the bin. If that fails, I guess you would need to call for a repair, as if the cloth is stuck, you have something much larger in the pipe and they will need to snake it out. Good luck!

I have a 4000 sf house with 8 inlets and had no problem. They are about as still as a dryer sheet so it should pass through without a problem. I left the sheets in the vacuum can for awhile to deodorize. My system is a very old system that has just a cloth bag which is no longer made. I am just about to replace it with a bag system so if my old unit can pull it through, you should not have a problem.

These cloths never get caught in the pipes. This is a great product i would rec it.

Be sure the long metal piece is at bottom, flush with your surface. I've had my original one for 30+ years and the cloth is finally wearing.

I use microfiber cloths. I buy them cheap in bulk. When one side gets dirty, I flip it over and use the other side, then toss it in the laundry basket.

Not sure how much this helps, but this was purchased for Halloween. So the weather was cold, and clothes were worn underneath. It's very similar to the fabric of a vinyl table cloth. If you get dirt on it, just wipe it off with a damp towel or sponge. The material is not "breathable" so I might suggest to hang it outside to get fresh air. Or spray it with a cleaning solution and then wipe it down. I hope this somewhat helps.

I would not suggest leaving it on any cloth or carpet service more than a few seconds. I learned from past mistakes. We did not have an incident with this particular slime but with other similar slime it was impossible to get out so things were tossed.

I would try a small amount of mineral spirits dabbed on the fabric until its gone. If you can launder the item I would then use spray and wash on that spot and wash the item.

I bought a leaf trap and add a pvc pipe that go up and over below the waterline and the attached a vacuum hose to it and is works great. Before I did that and just put the hose into the return. It would clog and was a real pain in ass

I think I would stick to a microfiber cloth for that or a soft damp rag followed by the microfiber. I do not know that the Cyber Clean would leave a residue, but I would not want to take the risk.

Hello, In my opinion no, it would seem that a soft cloth that's not abrasive should clean it, maybe a little window cleaner on the cloth.

Sorry, I didn't keep the two I ordered.Have you tried pipe cleaners and a vacuum? Wish I could be of more help.

If you have a wet vac, try cleaning it out with that first. I would try to stick the hose down there as far as possible.

The same thing happened to us. When I had a plumber here for other work, I asked him if he could try to get it off. No luck. I guess it's best not to leave it on your hose for too long or else it will become a permanent attachment.

I'm not an upholsterer, but on the bottom are little black bolts. I would remove those and check how the present cloth is attached.

if you use this on the end of a washer output going into a drain pipe contained in a wall, you would have the Lint Catcher in the pipe. Once the Lint Catcher gets full it would shoot down the pipe and end up lodged in the pipe. I have the drain shooting into a sink and have had the lint catcher shoot off once its full.

I use the celaning cloth but if you are referrign to if it gets stuff stuck to it on the underneath side then it's toast.

Try using black pipe insulation on bars for replacements . And crank down hard on holding arms so there is no friction.

You could just put a piece of plastic, like a garbage bag or shower curtain under it as a precaution.
