Vacuum Cleaner Bags (Genuine & Compatible)

While Paper Bags are a cost-effective choice for standard household cleaning, we highly recommend Synthetic (Cloth) Bags for commercial use. Synthetic bags (available from Cleanstar and Pacvac) consist of multiple layers of fabric. They provide better airflow, meaning your vacuum maintains suction for longer as the bag fills up. They are also tear-resistant, preventing messy accidents inside your machine.

Should you buy the original? Genuine Bags (from Pacvac, Pullman, Vorwerk) are guaranteed to meet the manufacturer's exact filtration standards. However, our range of Compatible Bags from brands like CleanUp, MyVac, and Cleanstar offer exceptional value. These are manufactured to fit perfectly, offering high-quality filtration at a fraction of the price - ideal for high-volume commercial cleaning.

Match the Collar, Not Just the Brand

Can't remember your vacuum model number? The most important part of a vacuum bag is the fitting collar (the cardboard or plastic square with the hole). If the collar doesn't lock securely into your machine, dust will escape into the motor. We provide clear images of the collar on every product page—simply match the shape of your old bag's collar to our Cleanstar, CleanUp, or MyVac images to ensure a perfect fit.

Revive Your Suction: When to Change Your Bag

If your vacuum is overheating or leaving dirt behind, your bag is likely overfilled. A vacuum bag relies on airflow to work; once the bag is 70-80% full, the pores clog up and suction drops drastically. For consistent power, we recommend keeping a bulk pack of Cleanstar or Pacvac bags on hand so you can swap them out the moment performance drops, rather than waiting until the bag is bursting.

Solutions for Discontinued and Older Models (Wertheim & Vorwerk)

Finding bags for older vacuums can be difficult. If you have an older model Wertheim (like the 5030 or 6030 series) or a vintage Vorwerk Kobold, genuine parts may no longer be available. Our range of compatible bags from CleanUp and MyVac are specifically engineered to keep these legacy machines running for years to come, offering a high-quality fit at a fraction of the original cost.
