Re: Dyson owners - question about cleaning
I don't see why not - DH usually wipes it with a damp rag whenever he empties it.
Just don't reattach it until it's completely dry.

Re: Dyson owners - question about cleaning
hmm, we've done the rag thing - paper towels actually. I was just wondering if it was ok to just hose it down cleaning the whole inside - like with a power washer

I'd contact/email Dyson Customer Service and ask if it's ok to get the canister wet.

Re: Dyson owners - question about cleaning
We take ours apart and wash the whole thing, don't forget you are also supposed the take out the blue spongy thingy in the bottom and wash that too.

yup, we wash the HEPA filter often. I love that you can just wash it instead of replacing it! 
ok, you have all convinced me not to power wash it - God forbid water gets somewhere it shouldn't!
