5 things to consider when buying a vacuum cleaner
When it comes to maintaining a clean and healthy home, a good vacuum cleaner is an essential tool. However, with so many options available in the market, choosing the right vacuum cleaner can be a daunting task. Whether you're dealing with carpets, hardwood floors, or pet hair, here are five key factors to consider when buying a vacuum cleaner. Type of Vacuum Cleaner: There are several types of vacuum cleaners to choose from, each designed for specific cleaning needs. The most common types include, canister, stick, and robotic vacuums. Stick vacuums are lightweight and ideal for quick clean ups, while canister vacuums are more versatile and suitable for various surfaces. Consider your specific cleaning requirements to determine which type is best for you. Filtration System: A vacuum cleaner's filtration system is crucial for maintaining air quality in your home. High-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filters are highly recommended as they can capture tiny particles like dust, pollen, and pet dander, making the air cleaner and healthier. Look for vacuum cleaners with HEPA filters or equivalent advanced filtration systems to improve your indoor air quality. Suction Power and Cleaning Performance: Suction power plays a significant role in a vacuum cleaner's cleaning performance. Opt for a vacuum with adjustable suction settings to tackle different surfaces effectively. Additionally, pay attention to features like brush roll options, which are essential for deep cleaning carpets, and attachments for cleaning hard-to-reach areas and upholstery. A vacuum cleaner with strong suction and versatile cleaning capabilities will ensure a thorough clean. Durability and Maintenance: A vacuum cleaner is an investment in the cleanliness of your home, so it's essential to choose one that is built to last. Look for models with durable construction and a reputation for reliability. Consider the availability of replacement parts and how easy it is to perform maintenance tasks like emptying the dustbin or changing filters. A vacuum cleaner that requires minimal maintenance will save you time and money in the long run. Noise Levels and Maneuverability: No one wants a vacuum cleaner that sounds like a jet engine taking off. Check the noise level of the vacuum cleaner you're considering, especially if you have family members or neighbours who are sensitive to loud noises. Additionally, assess the vacuum's manoeuvrability, including its weight, cord length, and swivel capabilities. A lightweight and agile vacuum cleaner will make the cleaning process more convenient and less physically taxing. Choosing the right vacuum cleaner involves considering your specific needs and preferences. By evaluating these factors you can make an informed decision and invest in a vacuum that keeps your home clean and healthy. With the right vacuum cleaner, maintaining a spotless living space becomes a much more manageable task.

HEPA filters remove 99.9% of harmful particles in the air. Find out how they work and why they are so important. What is a HEPA filter and why is it so important? HEPA filter stands for high efficiency particulate air filter, which removes over 99.9% of airborne particles. This includes dust, dust mites, mould, pollen, bacteria and it can even remove COVID particles from the air. HEPA filters work by pushing air out through a fine mesh, which traps these harmful participles, stopping them from being released back into the atmosphere. Every household appliance which either absorbs or extracts air, needs to have a circulation system, and therefore, a filter. Air conditioning systems and hairdryers have them and of course, so do vacuum cleaners. HEPA filters in vacuum cleaners When we think about buying a new vacuum, we probably consider its suction ability, size, accessories, or flexibility. But how often do we think about the filter? Often not at all. We use vacuum cleaners to remove dirt and dust from indoors, which is why it’s vital that they have a decent filter in place. Otherwise, your vacuum will release those dirty particles right back into your home. After a period of time, the filter will also lose its strength and cease to block all the harmful bacteria getting back out into the air. This is why you must change the HEPA filter regularly, to ensure it works to its best ability. How often should you change your vacuum filter? So, how often should we change the HEPA filter in our vacuum cleaners? It really depends on the amount of use it gets, but for an average household vacuuming 1-3 times per week, the ideal frequency to change your filter is once per year. Don’t worry if you have never changed the filter before, many people are not even aware of the filter let alone how often it needs changing. However, the filter is very important and replacing it will help to purify the air in your home. If anyone in your household happens to suffer from allergies, especially dust, animal fur or pollen, we recommend changing it every 6-12 months, or whenever you notice increased allergy breakouts.
Read more5 ways to keep your home allergy-free
The allergy season is upon us once again and we are using tissues like there’s no tomorrow! Whether you or someone living in your household suffer from allergies such as dust, pollen, pets, mould or other - it’s not all bad news. There are ways to reduce allergens in your home to make it a more comfortable place for everyone. We have compiled a list of our top 5 tips to keep your home (almost) allergy-free. 1. Stop allergens getting inside Airing out your home is important to reduce the risk of mould and stop humidity (which is the ideal climate for dust mites). Try to open windows for at least 1 hour per day, apart from during peak pollen seasons or when it’s raining outside. When arriving home after being outside, remove your outdoor clothes as soon as you enter the house and change into a more comfortable outfit – this way you won’t increase the risk of pollen particles inside your home. 2. Choose a vacuum with a HEPA filter Vacuuming regularly is another way to remove allergens from your home, and not only from the floor. Be sure to vacuum upholstery too (sofas and mattresses especially!) Investing in a vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter means even the tiniest particles will get trapped and won’t be released back into the air when cleaning. 3. Dust your home regularly Dust and mould allergens are some of the most common to be found around the home. When cleaning, use a damp microfibre cloth with detergent to properly remove dust, rather than simply moving it around with a feather duster. This will also stop you from getting allergic reactions when cleaning. 4. Keep your bedding free of dust mites Make sure you change your bedsheets every 1-2 weeks to avoid a build-up of dust mites. We recommend washing bedsheets a higher temperature than you would wash clothes, at around 40-60º. Try not to put too many throws and decorative cushions on your bed, as these often get washed less regularly or need dry cleaning. Turn your mattress over every 6 months to keep it fresh. 5. Purify your home with air conditioning If you suffer from pollen allergies, use the air conditioning rather than opening windows during peak pollen seasons, this will filter out the pollen before it can enter inside your home. Make sure you clean the filter on your air conditioning every 3 months to remove the build up of dust particles.
