How often should I vacuum

Here comes the age-old question of your vacuuming habits. Naturally, you would want to vacuum up most of the dust and debris that are seen around your houses as soon as possible. And most of the time, you don’t need to take out your giant upright or canister models for the job, just a simple stick or handheld vacuum should be able to do the job. This would work well if you have some kind of hard floor. However, for carpet users, you’ll need to have a flexible schedule for cleaning up the thick layer of piles in your living room if you don’t want it to get dirty. Make sure to run your upright or canister vacuum with the suitable cleaner heads on the carpets a few times to effectively collect the dust. Usually, doing this once a week should be enough to keep your carpets clean. However, for those with asthma or allergies, and especially if you have hairy pets, we suggest you double the work to make sure that you can breathe normally.

How can I measure the correct suction power of my vacuum units

Unlike what most people think, the suction powers of your vacuums aren’t measured by the wattages or the amperages that were displayed on the machines. These are just mechanical data that can be used to measure their motor units. And more specifically, the wattages measure how much electric power can the motor draws out, while the amperages show the amount of electricity that is passing the current. These can come handy in measuring certain vacuums with similar designs, but shouldn’t be used for universal comparisons. For that, you should take into account the designs, filtration system, and efficiency of the machines. And the best measurement unit should be the airwatt, which refers to the airflow that the vacuum produces and the amount of watts that were drawn out by the device.

Are bagged vacuum better for dealing with allergies and asthma

Short answer, yes. And the reason is because of the interesting design of bagged vacuums. Here, you’ll also have the dust bags acting as a layer of filtration, which would prevent the majority of dust and dirt from getting inside your machine. And at the same time, it also reduces the amount of dust that can get to the inner filtration system. And as we know it, on certain bagless vacuum models, the filters alone won’t be able to deal with most of the dust, especially the tiny dust particles that can easily get past the filtration system. These can escape through the released air and re-enter the environment, thus, causing some troubles for people with breathing conditions. Not to mention that if you’re not careful whilst emptying the dustbin, there are also chances that you’ll spill some of the dust into the air. For that reason, it’s always more convenient to have a dust bag that you can easily pick up and throw away.

How to unclog the vacuum cleaner

You have to check the bag at first to ensure it is not overfilling. Then examine the place where dirt enters into the bag to insure it is clear. If the machine is still clogged, continue observing the bottom and look for the debris.

How often should I vacuum my house

Do at least twice a week if your home has allergy suffers. However, you can frequently vacuum if seeing any dust pile or if you have a pet.

How often should I change the vacuum cleaner bag

With the canister vacuum, you should change when it is half full. If not, it will offer less suction when using. With the upright vacuum, it is okay to change once it is half full or three quarters.

Do I need to buy a canister or upright vacuum cleaner

If you are still wondering, let’s help you. The canister vacuum is lighter, easier to move, and more versatile. It also offers smoother transitions on various floors. Meanwhile, the upright one is suitable for homes with carpets. In our opinion, the canister is useful in cleaning floors, removing debris and vacuuming stairs easier than the upright.
