Why does the vacuum not remain for more than a few hours? Are my bags faulty?Ī.

It doesn’t need to create a solid seal in order to remove the air, and you’ll see that it quickly removes all the air just by holding it against the valve – this is because they are one-way valves so as the vacuum cleaner removes the air, it cannot get back in.

The valves that do show a screw thread on the inside of the valve have it in case you are going to attach a manual pump (as you can do with the Neusu Medium and Large) in order to make the manual pump more effective, but if you are using a vacuum cleaner, you simply need to hold it firmly against the valve, whatever its size. The valves aren’t intended to be clipped onto or to screw a vacuum cleaner into, and nor is there any need. My vacuum cleaner nozzle doesn’t clip onto/screw into the valve – how do I remove the air?Ī.

If you want additional advice on how to pack a little more into each bag, then our Pro Tip sheet that you can get by subscribing to our email newsletter at the bottom of this page has this little nugget included. Pay particular attention to either end of the zip, and then run the clip over the zip in both directions fully to really ensure that it is closed. You may find that you haven’t managed to fully close both parts of the double zip in one go, so go back and pinch the zip together with your fingers. Push the contents down/in front of where you are puling the zip together to allow the zip to close. Work ahead snapping the zip together and working the clip along to pull the zip fully closed. Of course, in practice, we know that sometimes bags are unruly and setting up 2cm spare is not possible, but in this case you need to close the zip slowly. The best solution is to use multiple bags of the correct size, and we have a guide to the correct sizes of vacuum storage bags to use here. The bag should have an inch (2cm) clear between the contents and the zip to allow for a good seal, so if you don’t have that then the chances are that the contents are constantly pushing against you as you try to close the zip. Whichever vacuum storage bag you are using, the answer to this question is normally that you are overfilling the bag. Why can’t I get the zip on the vacuum storage bag to close?Ī.
