Fuzzy wool loop carpet?

Some vacuum cleaners such as stick vacs, robots and ones that feature turbo heads, can damage wool loop carpet causing a fuzzy surface – which doesn’t look the best.

Does your wool loop carpet look fuzzy or is pilling? It could be that you’re using the wrong type of vacuum cleaner.

If your using a ‘suction only‘ vacuum cleaner, i.e. barrel or cylinder vacuum cleaner, on your wool loop carpet and it’s looking a little hairy then the below is a must read for you!

Or perhaps you’ve taken your stick vac or robotic vac to your new wool loop carpet and it’s fuzzed it up – then this is a must read for you too!

Suction only…it’s not that simple

Suction only vacuum cleaner

Not all suction vacuum cleaners are suitable for wool loop carpets. Some ‘suction only’ vacuum cleaners available in Retail stores can damage the wool loop and cause a fuzzy wool loop appearance across the carpet surface due to the poor design of the combination floor head and coarse retracted bristles.

SEBO have vacuum cleaner models designed to suit wool loop carpet and reduce that unsightly fuzz.

Trouble vacuuming plush thick carpet?

plush carpet vacuum

You can get stuck using the wrong type of vacuum cleaner on plush carpet.

SEBO designs vacuum cleaners to suit a variety of carpet types – even tricky plush, thick, ultra soft cut pile twist. High pile and plush pile carpets need a vacuum cleaner with a good brush roller to effectively clean in and around the carpet fibres removing debris and allergens – Suction only vacuum cleaners simply cannot achieve this effectively.

SEBO X7 Boost best for plush carpet
SEBO X7 BOOST (91547AU) best for plush carpet and thick carpet piles

Many vacuum cleaners simply can’t handle thick carpet!

When it comes to vacuums, one size does not fit all. It’s important to note that your current vacuum may not work well on your fabulous new plush, thick, soft carpet. Over the past several years, it appears some vacuum manufacturers have focused on creating extremely high suction vacuums. High suction vacuums do not work well on thick, high, plush pile carpets, like Triexta, Mohawk’s SmartStrand, Choice’s Flooring Sensitive Choice Brease and Godfrey Hirst’s Eco+ softest offerings.

Most thick plush pile carpet suppliers recommend a vacuum cleaner with the following features:

  • Adjustable height
  • Electric brush roller
  • Good air flow
  • Large wheels
  • High filtration
  • Bagged upright

So, which vacuum should you purchase for thick pile / plush pile carpet?

SEBO X7 Boost Upright with electronic control height adjustment identifies the floor and the height of the carpet nap, raising or lowering the brush automatically for optimum cleaning even on plush, high pile carpet.

SEBO vacuum cleaners remove Pet Hair time after time. How?

Brush roller bristles comb the carpet pile and lift away pet hair, pet dander, dirt and loose fibre. Inevitably, like brushing hair with a hair brush, long hairs/fibres can get trapped on the brush. Eventually this will affect performance.

Vacuum brush roller and pet hair

Regularly check the brush roller. If hair or fibre is wrapped around it, use a pair of scissors to cut them along the brush roller between the rows of bristles. Then use the crevice nozzle attached to the hose to suck off the cut hair.

Sealable filter bags ensure that, once anything has been picked up, it will never see daylight again. The filer system removes pet dander, pet hair and other allergens from the ambient air.

Top Tips For a Healthy Vacuum Cleaner

Healthy homes are important for everyone and a vacuum cleaner like SEBO can make your home and the air you breath better for the family.

SEBO products are built to last and should provide years of trouble-free use. However, a little simple maintenance is recommended to get the best performance from your SEBO vacuum cleaner and avoid repairs which may not be covered by the guarantee. Please follow these simple steps for a healthy vacuum cleaner and watch the Troubleshooting Videos.

Cable storage

CABLES

Cables can easily be damaged by incorrect use which is not covered by the guarantee, yet a few simple precautions can reduce, or even eliminate damage altogether.

  • When winding on the cable after use, leave a little slack where it exits the handle, otherwise the constant tension over time will fray the internal cable filaments. Also, always unplug first then wind from the machine and work towards the plug, otherwise it will corkscrew up.
  • Never run over the cable, or tug on it when it is trapped by furniture.
  • Never let the cable yank the vacuum cleaner as this will break the internal cable filaments.
Genuine filters are best

FILTERS

The filters let the vacuum breathe. If they get dirty, performance will suffer and eventually the motor may be damaged.

  • When replacing the bag, please check all filters. If they are dirty, please replace them. Only use genuine bags and filters.
Genuine bags are best

BAGS

SEBO bags retain harmful and unpleasant material for hygienic disposal and protect the machine.

  1. Use only genuine SEBO bags as these are carefully designed for optimum performance and longevity of SEBO vacuum cleaners.

BRUSH ROLLERS

3 Top tips on choosing the right vacuum cleaner

SEBO offers some handy healthy tips on what to consider when purchasing a new vacuum cleaner for your home.

Healthy Vacuum = Healthy Home

1. Upright or barrel vacuum cleaner?

SEBO E3 Komfort

Uprights are great for a large carpeted area as they are easy to manoeuvre and increase productivity, whereas a barrel could be considered for small areas with lots of furniture and hard floors.

Many vacuum cleaners, however, can do both jobs as many premises have different floors.

Also, take a look at the attachments and make sure your whole site is catered for (bear in mind you’ll be vacuuming furniture, curtains and A/C vents)

A barrel could be considered for small areas with lots of furniture and hard floors

SEBO FLOORCARE GUIDE

2. What floorcoverings do you have in your home?

It’s not just the difference between carpet or hard flooring; it’s the type of flooring fibre or material too. For example, if you have the niche Triexta carpet fibre, you’ll want a model that specifically caters for that plush pile. The SEBO X7 Boost Automatic (91542AU) with a rotating electric brush roller, large wheels, adjustable brush height and high filtration is recommended by Godfrey Hirst (Eco+) and Feltex (Redbook Green) for the correct care and maintenance of their product.

Hard flooring can be uneven so look for something designed to cope with this, such as a parquet head that comes as standard with the SEBO E3 Premium Barrel (91646AU).

3. Bag or bagless vacuum?

Allergens and bagless vacuums
Allergens in the atmosphere

Bag technology has come a long way and, if you suffer from allergies, asthma or simply want a clean emptying process, look for a machine with micro-fibre high filtration bags which keep all the dust and particles inside.

Bagless debris disposal can allow dirt and allergens to escape back into the air contributing to poor indoor air quality.

A polish a day keeps the dullness away

Kitchen Marble Floor Tiles

Keeping marble and terrazzo floors clean and in good condition is an important step in general housekeeping. Marble flooring, particularly in high-traffic areas (like the kitchen), takes a lot of beating.

Here are some tips on how to keep marble floors looking their best.

The mortal enemies of marble floor is moisture and dirt; both of which will most likely settle on floors continuously. Standing water or liquids can seep into pores staining so addressing spills as soon as they occur on marble floor is important. Wet wiping marble tiles is not only a hazard but leaves unsightly streak marks which make your marble floors look dirty still.

No unsightly water streak marks

No water, no worries – the SEBO UHS Polisher hygienically cleans marble and terrazzo floors without the use of water or chemicals or polishing sands! It kills surface microbes leaving the marble and terrazzo floor looking great without wiping marks and lines.

Healthcare Hospital Vacuum Indoor Air Quality

Indoor Air Quality is of high importance in a healthcare hospital environment. Filtration and the right vacuum cleaner for correct floor care matters!

There can be no short cuts when it comes to vacuuming and sanitising Healthcare Hospital environments. The wrong type of vacuum cleaner can spread air borne illnesses. Using the RIGHT vacuum cleaner with a electric brush roller for maximum debris removal and HEPA grade filtration for capturing nasty air born particles is BEST.

Popular Healthcare Hospital Vacuum Cleaner Brands

Many popular vacuum brands will clean the surface of the carpet and miss picking up the harmful debris and allergens at the bottom of the carpet pile.

Hospital Healthcare Hygiene is paramount

Healthcare – Hospitals and nursing homes have a need to ensure that their premises are kept clean so as to prevent the spread of infection. Imagine all the allergens, dirt and debris that you bring with you on the bottom of you shoes when you walk through the doors of a building. Much of this debris is left on the carpet where it is compressed down into the bottom of the carpet pile.

Suction only vacuums just don’t clean well enough!

Debris that is left behind by ‘suction only’ barrels and backpack vacuum cleaners causes two problems one being that it destroys the carpet fibre. The second problem is that without the carpet being cleaned effectively there is a potential for the carpet pile to harbour micro – organism growth.

Using an upright vacuum with the motorised brush roller will solve this problem!

Why an Upright Vacuum Cleaner?

Upright vacuum brush roller

The aim of the bush roller is to agitate the base of the carpet removing all the built up debris and potential micro-organisms like mould spores, dust mite faeces, etc.

This may contribute to the reduced spread of potential infectious diseases as they are now vacuumed up, filtered from the air stream rather than being left in the carpet to fester and grow.

An Upright Vacuum Cleaner is better for your body, allow for ceiling to floor reach all without breaking your back!

So the carpet has been cleaned. Now we must dispose of the contents hygienically to not only protect the Operator but reduce the allergens being released back into the atmosphere!

Debris Collection and Disposal

Vacuum bags add another level of filtration – best for hygienic debris disposal

Vacuuming is a great way to improve indoor air quality. Choosing a machine which captures the debris in a filter bag will decrease the chances of dust blow back. The advantage of using is a filter bag is that it is disposable thus you don’t’ have to worry exposing yourself to the harmful dust.
