Follow the top to bottom method
Before you start vacuuming, set yourself up for success by clearing the area of any objects or debris that could interfere with the vacuum. This not only protects your vacuum from clogs and damage but also ensures a smoother, more efficient clean.
Kick off the cleaning spree by working from top to bottom. Begin with the ceilings, fans or high shelves, using a duster to clear away the build-up of dust and cobwebs. By cleaning high first, you avoid the need to re clean surfaces below as you work your way down. Next, focus on furniture, like tables, and shelves, allowing any dust or debris to fall to the floor where it can be easily vacuumed in the final step.
When vacuuming, start with the corners and edges of the room where dust and dirt tend to accumulate most. Gradually work your way into the middle of the room, ensuring each stroke overlaps about half the width of the vacuum head to ensure you don’t miss any spots. Pay attention to high-traffic areas like walkways and entrances, as these spots collect dirt the most.
The benefits of wet and dry vacuum
For a truly deep clean, elevate your cleaning game with a wet and dry vacuum. The versatile powerhouse tackles both wet and dry messes effortlessly, making them perfect for spot cleaning spills and messes.
Wet and dry vacuums are a pet owners’ best friend. As well as removing pet hair from your home, a wet and dry vacuum can remove mud, sand and general mess created by your furry friends without damaging the machine. Plus, they excel at vacuuming dust from upholstery, eliminating allergens and making your home a healthier place to live.
Don’t forgot to clean the cleaner
Keeping your vacuum in tip-top shape is crucial for its optimal performance. Clogged filters filled with bacteria, dust, smoke, mould, and other particles can hinder its suction and reduce air quality. Regular cleaning and replacing of filters ensure your vacuum will run smoothly and effectively.
Tangled hair and debris in the nozzle can jam mechanisms, but by emptying the dustbin and keeping the nozzle clear, you can maintain peak performance. The feature is easily activated with the push of a button, the brush roll will rotate while clean water is released, so you don't have to go to the extra effort of cleaning the nozzle yourself.
Vacuum accessories are a great way to enhance your cleaning experience and get the most efficient clean for your needs. Pet owners will love the animal care kit for tackling pet hair on soft furnishings. For those tricky spots like car seats and couch cushions, the home and car kit’s flexible attachments provide the reach and manoeuvrability you need.
