Vacuuming For Health

Vacuuming is more important than you might think - Especially if you suffer from allergies

When you vacuum, it is very important to understand that if you have allergies you need to use a HePa filtered vacuum, at the very least. We recommend that you use a true hepa vacuum which means that it is 99.97% efficient at capturing particles down to .03 microns in size. These true hepa vacuums will actually catch and remove allergens from your home. Lesser quality vacuums are not generally able to capture the allergens, since most are 1-10 microns in size. That small size allows the allergens to shoot right though your vacuum and become airborne for up to 24 hours; thus further upsetting your allergies.

When you vacuum, make 2-3 slow passes over each area. This way you are really getting the dust out and all of the things that you can't see. Never let your bag get more than half full - your vacuum's performance goes down dramatically when you let the whole thing get stuffed up and full. Meanwhile, your carpets are getting filled up with dust and your vacuum has lost the power to remove it. Last of all, make sure your belt is tight on the beater bar of the vacuum. Without the beater bar working properly, you are also leaving lost of dust and dirt behind. Your belt should be replaced at least once a year - not just when it breaks!

Other benefits of using a HEPA vacuum will also include:

• Better Overall Air Quality
• Cleaner Carpets and Upholstery
• Less Dust and Less Dusting
• Less Allergies
