Choosing the right vacuum cleaner can have a significant impact on not just overall appearance of cleanliness in your home, but also the health of it. Older, weaker, broken down vacuum cleaners don’t have the ability to get as much dust, dirt, allergens, and other foreign contaminants out of carpeting.
However, even the most powerful vacuum cleaners fall short of complete cleanliness.
You can spend $500, $1,000, or even more on a professional grade vacuum cleaner and still find your carpets are not exactly clean at the end of a year or two. That’s why a professional carpet cleaning service is always a good idea for not only helping to keep your home as clean as possible, but also improving the indoor air quality.
Now, about that vacuum cleaner.
It’s a good idea to have a HEPA filter on your vacuum cleaner. A HEPA filter helps to reduce a significant number of allergens and fine particles from the air. They get trapped in the filter and that means they don’t get tossed back into the air because they would escape the vacuum cleaner itself.
You should also think about one that has adjustable height.
If you can’t adjust the height of your vacuum cleaner, and you use it for area rugs, wall-to-wall carpeting, and hardwood floor surfaces, you’re not going to get a thorough cleaning. It’s important to be able to adjust the cleaning height to the appropriate floor surface.
Finally, make sure the vacuum cleaner you choose has the power you need.
If you have pets, kids, a lot of foot traffic, you’re going to be attracting a lot of dirt. That’s why it’s a good idea to invest more in a vacuum cleaner that has power that will maximize the amount of dust, dirt, and other foreign contaminants it sucks out of your floor surfaces.
