Vacuum Cleaners - How would we manage without them?
Vacuum cleaners are an absolute essential home appliance these
days. We rely on our vacuum cleaner to help keep our homes free
of dust and dirt; but how often do we go about our cleaning,
without giving much thought to how efficient these machines
really are?
Before electric vacuum cleaners were invented, home cleaning was
a major task. Floors had to be cleaned with brushes, brooms and
mops. Rugs and carpets had to be removed from the floor, hung up
outdoors, and beaten to remove the dust. These methods involved
a lot of time and effort, and also caused health complaints.
The early invention of non-electric floor cleaning devices made
home cleaning easier. People started looking for ways to improve
the efficiency of these machines, and all kinds of contraptions
were invented. Throughout the 100-year history of electric
vacuum cleaners, there have been many improvements. The first
electric vacuums were produced in the early 1900's. In 1908, the
Hoover Company built the first electric vacuum cleaner that used
both a cloth filter bag and cleaning attachments. During the
years that followed, many different models and designs were
created, each varying in size, weight, suction power, and other
features. Of all the designs however, the upright vacuum cleaner
remained the most popular.
The latest upright vacuums available today make cleaning a lot
easier. They are much lighter and versatile, and come in both
bagged and bagless designs with handy tools to help remove dust
from
drapes, upholstery, and tricky, hard to reach places.
Owning a bagless vacuum means you don't ever have to buy vacuum
bags. When it comes to emptying the dirt container, it can be
emptied straight into your garbage bin. You'd want to do this
outside in the yard or on the street to prevent dust going back
into your house. If you're an allergy sufferer, you're best to
stay with a bagged unit. The dust remains in a sealed bag, and
when full, it can easily be removed and disposed of.
There are many other types of vacuum cleaners available
including the canister, the wet and dry vacuum, portable
hand-held units, and robotic vacuum cleaners.
When buying a vacuum cleaner, it's important to choose the best
vacuum to suit your home cleaning needs. You'll also want to
think about what you have in your home. Do you have carpets and
rugs, wooden floors, or perhaps a flight of stairs? Are you an
allergy sufferer? Do you have pets indoors?
If you spend a bit extra on a vacuum cleaner with stronger
suction, consider it a good investment. Vacuuming regularly with
a powerful vacuum will remove grit from deep within your
carpets, and prevent them from wearing out.
