If a Riccar 8000-series upright has started leaving grit behind on a second pass, the bag is usually the reason before the motor ever is. This 12-pack of EnviroCare micro-lined replacement bags fits Riccar Type B uprights and the Simplicity 7000 series, and it is sized for the person who actually runs the machine every week - a homeowner with pets and carpet, or a small cleaning crew that goes through bags faster than a once-a-month schedule allows. Buying twelve at a time means the bag gets changed when it should be changed, not when the last one in the closet finally runs out.
Built for
- Weekly household vacuuming on carpet where pet hair and fine dust load a bag quickly
- Allergy-conscious homes that want dust held inside the bag instead of pushed back through the exhaust
- Residential cleaning crews running Riccar or Simplicity uprights across several houses a day
- Anyone keeping an older 8000-series machine in service rather than replacing it
Why the micro-lined media matters
A plain single-ply paper bag traps the debris you can see and lets a share of the fine material pass straight through. Micro-lined media adds an inner filtration layer, so the dust that does the most to make a room smell stale and a filter clog early stays captured. The practical benefit shows up twice: cleaner exhaust air, and a downstream filter that does not load nearly as fast.
The other habit worth keeping is changing the bag before it looks full. Airflow, not volume, is what determines suction. Fine dust blinds the media well before the bag is packed, which is why a bag that looks two-thirds empty can still leave a machine feeling weak and make the motor work harder than it needs to.

Frequently asked questions
Which vacuums do these bags fit?
They fit Riccar Type B upright models in the 8000, 8600 and 8900 series, and Simplicity 7000 series Type B uprights. If your current bag is marked Type B and came out of one of those machines, this is the right bag.
Are these genuine Riccar bags?
No. These are EnviroCare replacement bags built to the Riccar Type B specification. They are a lower-cost alternative to the OEM bag and use micro-lined filtration media rather than plain single-ply paper.
How often should I change the bag?
Change it when it is about two-thirds full rather than waiting for it to pack solid. Fine dust clogs the media before the bag fills, so suction drops well ahead of the point where the bag looks done.
What is the difference between micro-lined and standard paper bags?
Standard paper is a single layer that catches visible debris. Micro-lined bags add an inner filtration layer that holds much finer particles, which keeps more dust out of the exhaust air and slows down how fast the machine filter loads.
How many bags come in this pack?
Twelve. At a typical once-a-week household schedule that is roughly a year of bags.
