i have to know, because otherwise the hoover is rendered completely useless, the bottle cap is the same size as the hoover tube and i do not have a stick or long object long enough with which to poke it out :(please help meunfortunately, the hoover tube is plastic :( regrettably majority of said tube is plastic and flexible...this darned cap! therefore cannot be heated up, as the hoover will melt..and i can't afford another one!so hanything else anyone can suggest would be greatly appreciatedthe cap is stuck quite far up, but in a solid part of the plastic, im not sure blowing would dislodge it as sheer hoover sucking power seems to do nothingHELP PLEASE!
Oh I had this same issue. Some of the methods I tried. Broom handle Mop handle Fork spoon knife the clothes pole from my cupboard Taking off the end of the hoover pipe. There's these 2 0r 3 bits you need to push in in order to get it off. It's real hard to do. Takes 2 people. Good luck. That's the most annoying thing in the world.
Take the tube off the hoover and fit it as tight as you can over an outdoor water spigot. The combination of a bit of lubrication from the water and pressure will sometimes push the obstruction out the way it came in. If that doesn't work you will probably have to find a blunt end stick or rod long enough to force it out. Do not use wire or a straightened clothes hanger. It is too easy to puncture the corrugated hose if it should slip to the side of the cap.
if the hose or tube is strong enough you could bend the cap inside from the outside (similar to bending a beer cap) and it should fall out.. use a coat hanger wire with a hook in the end is another alternative.
