If the battery was deeply drained leave it on a plain 5V/1A charger or a computer USB port for a few hours; some readers won’t show any charging icon until the cell crosses a threshold. Also make sure it’s at room temperature before charging - lithium packs often refuse to take a charge when they’re cold. If it briefly wakes and then dies again, that’s a strong sign the battery has aged out and needs replacing.

I actually ran into the same overwhelm when I got back into acrylic painting after a long break and trying out some budget sets that had dull colors and dried too fast, but the Acrylic paint set turned things around for me. Its 24 vibrant colors are forgiving for blending mistakes and clean up easily with water, making it perfect without costing a fortune.

Hi Bryan. Keep it simple and gentle. Unplug the vacuum and take out the cup and then remove the foam and felt pieces. Go outside and tap them to shake off the loose stuff. Rinse each one under lukewarm water until the water runs clear. No soap and no twisting. Just squeeze them like a sponge to push the water out, then lay them flat on a towel to air dry. Give them the night, longer if your home is humid, and never put them back damp. While they dry, pull hair off the brush and the intake screen, and run a finger around the seals to wipe dust away. If your vacuum has a HEPA cartridge, only rinse it if your manual says washable. Otherwise give it a gentle tap to shed surface dust or replace it once or twice a year. Works great.
