I'm visiting my son and the family, which includes George the cat.
They have a Dyson Animal V6 Stick vac, which is OK for doing normal stuff.
However! If you suck up wet cat litter by mistake, it all goes into the interior of the cyclones and is never seen again.
But you know it's there, because when you turn it on the funk smell expelled by the vac is a smell to behold.
They'd tried wiping it out, car freshener etc but couldn't get rid of the smell and the performance was sub-standard.
So, feeling at a loss with nothing to tinker with, I decided to see what makes a Dyson tick. After some eyeballing, followed by removing/twisting/pulling/unscrewing I ended up with all the parts in a bucket of hot soapy water. A good scrub and then into the sun to dry completely.

Putting it all back together was about as simple as doing a Seiko 7S26, even more so when helped by liquid confidence!

So my tinkering urge is sated for the day, maybe another ale though.
