Your Kirby upright vacuum alters little over the years. But the filtration technology changes rapidly. Which paper liner is the better one for your Kirby vacuum?

If the Kirby vacuum is less than 30 years old, it will be self-propelled. It also calls for a paper filter bag. Any Kirby bag designed for the Kirby models G3, G4-5, G6, ULTIMATE G or Sentria are exchangeable.

The brand new design of Kirby paper liner is the F Style. These paper bags have a different docking structure and are not interchangeable with the other paper bags.

The filtration is special with each bag. The Micron-Filtration paper bags are for the Kirby styles G4 and G5. These paper bags are excellent in quality and filter 99% of the dust in the paper liner.

Unless you suffer from strong allergen hypersensitivity, these paper bags will be fine to have in your Kirby. The Micron-Filtration paper bags are as good at filtering as most better quality paper bags for other high end vacuum cleaners.

Your Kirby HEPA filtration paper bags are manufactured for the G6 Kirby model, though they will fit the Sentria, and ...
... also the G3-G6 and UNTIMATE G styles. These paper bags are lined with a HEPA filter material that filters better than the G4-5 bags.

Your Kirby Allergen Reduction paper bags are manufactured by the M company. They are called Micron-Magic. The paper bags remove 99.97% of all the airborne dirt and dust coming through the vacuum.

These paper bags are also electrostatically charged to make dust and other particles stick to the surface of the bag.
These paper bags are preferred if you suffer from severe allergen hypersensitivity, or want to block odors in the bag. Thes paper bags are also the most pricey, as are the F Style paper bags.

It is important to purchase Genuine Kirby paper bags for your Kirby. The quality of the Genuine Kirby paper bags is much better than any generic paper bags made to fit your Kirby vacuum.

The Genuine Kirby paper bags can be purchased from your local Kirby dealer, or ordered on the web from various independent vacuum suppliers.

The real advantage of ordering on-line from a seller in your own state, is that you spend less for shipping, and usually get your Kirby paper liner order delivered the following day.

If you notice odors, most commonly dog and cat odors, coming out your paper liner, it usually means that your cloth outer bag is permeated with dog and cat pet dander. You need to rinse the outer bag, after you take out the paper liner, in soap and water.

Hang the outer bag to dry out for a day, before you re-install it.
