I wash my dust collecting bag (the one that sits on top of the collector)
after I finish each project.  Amazing what the wash water looks like after
about 7-8 minutes of wash time.  I dry it in our drier, and it comes out
looking like new.  After each washing I notice a big improvement in the
volume of air the collector moves because the pores in the bag are now
open.

Did you know that a fine layer of dust inside the bag improves the 
filtering of fine dust?
