Five reasons to take better care of your carpet

Why should you take the time to learn how to take better care of your carpet?

Keep your carpet for your health and vacuum correctly.

Here are five good reasons:

Health

1. You care about the air you breathe.

Did you know that indoor air quality can be worse than that outdoors?

Proper cleaning can improve the air in your home (and car!) by removing pollutants and allergens trapped in the carpet.

Carpet cost

2. Maintaining your carpet correctly also protects your ‘back pocket’…

In the long run proper cleaning helps protect your carpet investment and safeguards you from having to replace it before its time

e.g. Australian Carpet Beetle

Looks

First Impressions Count

3. The beauty of your home requires carpet to be kept in its finest form

First impressions count

— it can be the largest surface area the eye is drawn to and widely touched by guests.

Stepping out of bed onto a lush, clean carpet is more than ever one of life’s pleasures.

4. Your time is extremely valuable.

With the pressures of our demanding lives you don’t have any time to waste on methods that don’t work properly.

5. Your home is your castle

Your place to socialise, rest, and restore. A well-cared-for carpet provides that sense of harmony and flow from room to room that will attract you to the space where you spend so much of your time.

The living room floor is made for fun times

Carpet / Health / Vacuum… So which vacuum suits?

That all depends on your carpet type and fibre. Check out SEBO’s floor guide here

Anti- Allergy Vacuum Cleaner

The air is clean with SEBO Vacuums 

A good quality vacuum will of course clean the floor but a great vacuum will also enhance your indoor air quality (IAQ). Dust seems more prevalent nowadays and a lot more people suffering from allergic reactions. Best to invest in a vacuum cleaner with anti-allergy design.

a great vacuum will also enhance your
indoor air quality

SEBO FLOORCARE

Vacuum Cleaner Filtration

anti allergy vacuum design

SEBO vacuums possess 3-step filtration system consisting of:

  1. A multi layer filter bag.
  2. A micro-hygiene filter.
  3. An exhaust filter. 
Sensitive Choice Approved SEBO XP20
Sensitive Choice Approved Partner

Together they achieve excellent filter results.

SEBO E, SEBO K, SEBO X and SEBO Felix machines carry the British Allergy Foundation Seal of Approval as well as the Approval from the National Asthma Council of Australia – Sensitive Choice Program, making SEBO the perfect choice for people who suffer from allergies.

S-class Filtration

Only high-quality filter material is used in combination with an excellent sealed vacuum cleaner casing achieve the requirements of SEBO S-class filtration. 

To meet the S-CLASS standard the filtration system has to remove a minimum of 99.97% of particles of 0.3 microns. The SEBO S-CLASS system will remove 100% of particles of 1 micron and above. Dust mite faeces are approx. 10 microns.

The SEBO S-CLASS system will remove 100% of particles of 1 micron and above

SEBO S-CLASS FILTRATION STANDARD

Sealed vacuum bags – anti allergy

Sealable vacuum bags ensures that the fine dust particles stay in the closed vacuum cleaner system. SEBO domestic vacuums have S-class filtration with anti-allergy design. 
Every SEBO bag has a convenient hygiene lid to seal the bag after it is full – no dust or allergens (such as mould spores or pet dander) will escape into the ambient air.

For increased asthma and allergy protection your SEBO vacuum bag door will not close unless the filter and bag are in place.

Electrostatic filter material

Other than usual filtration systems, the SEBO filtration takes place by using the principle of electrostatics. 

Several charged micro fibres block the opposite charged particles. This allows a relative open structure that favours the air stream and at the same time lowers the chance of plugging. The result is a much smoother and long-lasting filtration.

So which vacuum suits?

Allergies: Should you remove your carpets?

Allergy and Asthma sufferers have long been told that having carpets causes allergies and allergic reactions to increase. Read this before you rip your carpets up…

Do you have allergies?

Allergen – Pet dander

…. Believe it or not, you can keep your carpets.

Do carpets cause allergies to increase? Studies have shown that carpets are often better at trapping allergens than hard flooring such as tile or hardwood.

How can carpets be better than hard floor for allergies?

Particles and allergens fall to the floor (out of the breathing zone) and onto the carpet. The fibres of the carpet trap allergens and particles, reducing their continued circulation in the air beneficial for asthma and allergy sufferers.

Minimise allergens in carpets

Proper cleaning with a SEBO vacuum cleaner effectively sucks up the dust, dirt and allergens such as pollen, pet dander, dust mites, in the carpet, locks it in the air tight machine and keeps it out of the air.

Don’t ditch your carpets solely because of allergies.

Creating a healthy home can help you and your family breathe cleaner, fresher air and potentially reduce allergic reactions or allergy-related asthma attacks.

SEBO Vacuum Cleaners remove maximum debris, retain the debris in a sealed system and disposal of the debris is hygienic.

With SEBO you clean the air you breath as well as the floors you walk on!

Failure to have in place a carpet maintenance program

SEBO Duo Dry Powder Carpet Cleaner

Commercial Carpet Cleaning – qualified experts know a proper carpet care program extends the useful life of the carpet while maintaining a high appearance level, reducing water usage and dumping of chemicals.

A properly maintained carpet reduces indoor pollutants and allergens because of its particle trapping effect.

Lastly, a properly maintained carpet reduces overall costs of operation.

Companies who just surface clean with ‘suction-only’ vacuum cleaners perform a grave disservice to their customers

Indoor Air Quality Matters

Why indoor air quality matters to your health.

You might not think about it often, but the air you breathe indoors can be far more polluted than the air outdoors. Poor indoor air quality can lead to a host of problems, including respiratory disorders, allergy flare-ups, headaches, fatigue, and mental health issues. The results of poor indoor air quality is often referred to as “Sick Building Syndrome”. 

Using a SEBO vacuum cleaner at work or home can contribute to positive Building Biology by removing harmful allergens (dust mites, mould, pets and pet dander) and improving indoor air quality (IAQ) not to mention also keep the soft floor furnishing looking great for many years to come.

How do SEBO Vacuums help Indoor Air Quality

Not only do our vacuum cleaners clean the floor but they also enhance the air. 

Vacuums equipped with high-efficiency particulate air (HEPA) filtration trap the dirt you can’t see, rather than sending allergens back into the air.

We Reduce, Reuse and Recycle

SEBO Sustainability – SEBO Australia does not manufacture, and as such the main priorities is reuse, recycle and reduce at our warehouse and office premises.

Wooden pallets are reused in the distribution system as well as supplied to other companies for use within their distribution system. Paper and cardboard is either shredded and used for packaging or recycled. Plastic including soft plastic is recycled and cartridges and batteries deposited at collection points. The paper stock used for office printing is recycled paper. Brochures, manuals and parts diagrams for servicing are available in digital format and can be printed by the end user if required. Staff are encouraged to have a positive environmental impact across all areas at work including the collection of food scraps for composting. 

Even deliveries are carefully planned to ensure our vehicles are filled to capacity and are running as economically as possible.

SEBO Sustainability

SEBO’s are manufactured in Germany, using locally sourced materials and components, which already ensures a smaller carbon footprint, every SEBO vacuum cleaner is made to last. This not only reduces waste and uses fewer resources, it even saves customers money. What is really impressive is the lengths the company will go to ensure every single element of a vacuum’s construction makes a minimal impact on the environment. Not only is plastic recycled into new components, but the factory is completely self-sustaining with regards to electricity – and even makes contributions to the national grid when supply exceeds demand. A combined heat and power system recovers virtually 100% of its primary energy source; as well as producing the electricity required to run machinery, the warm air created by its generator is used to heat the warehouse while engine coolant is pumped through the office radiators.

Water resources are also conserved at the SEBO factory in Germany. Rainwater (aka brown water) is collected from the roof, then filtered and stored to be used in production and within the factory washrooms, saving the unnecessary use of treated drinking water. The factory and offices are designed to use natural light as much as possible, avoiding artificial lighting and the associated power consumption and working hours are scheduled to make use of daylight hours. This also creates a much better working environment. SEBO have a highly skilled and dedicated workforce and the management of SEBO are very aware of their social responsibility and the huge contribution the commitment and health of their staff make to the quality of SEBO products.

For SEBO sustainability, reducing the carbon footprint of a product starts in the initial design process. Part of the design brief is to ensure that they will pack into the smallest possible cartons and that the carton sizes ensure that the maximum number of machines will fit onto a pallet. Most packaging is made from unbleached recycled cardboard with waste paper from the offices being shredded and re-used for packing. 

Waste Electrical or Electronic Equipment (WEEE):
For recycling your end of life vacuum cleaner, the retailer who sells you a replacement machine will be able to help and advise you or contact your local council or alternatively visit www.recyclingnearyou.com.au

LONG TERM ASSET MAINTENANCE DEEP CLEAN VALUE

What do you know about upright vacuum cleaners?

It’s interesting to hear about the changing preferences in the Australian cleaning industry where ‘quality productivity’ and ‘presentation’ are becoming important factors rather than the traditional benchmark of ‘speed’ or ‘square metres per hour’.

Sometimes an overemphasis on productivity and speed can come at a cost of asset deterioration in the long term. In the cleaning industry, this might mean that certain cleaning methods or equipment that prioritise productivity over quality may actually cause more harm to the property in the long run, leading to increased maintenance and repair costs for the property owners.

Flooring is an investment and using the correct equipment to maintain the asset is vital.

Floor care guides play a crucial role in helping property owners and cleaning professionals understand how to properly clean and maintain different types of flooring materials. These guides provide information on recommended cleaning methods, equipment, and chemicals, as well as tips on how to prevent damage and maintain the appearance of the flooring over time.

By regularly updating their floor care guides, manufacturers can ensure that the information they provide is relevant and accurate, and that it reflects best practices in the cleaning industry. This can help property owners and cleaning professionals make informed decisions about how to care for their flooring, leading to better outcomes for the flooring’s appearance and longevity.

Carpet Manufacturers recommend Upright Vacuums

Carpet manufacturers often recommend using an upright vacuum cleaner for commercial carpet/soft floor care for several reasons.

Firstly, upright vacuum cleaners are generally more powerful than other types of vacuum cleaners, such as backpack, barrel or stick vacuums. This means they are better able to remove dirt and debris from deep within the carpet fibres, which can help to extend the life of the carpet and prevent the build-up of dirt and allergens.

Secondly, upright vacuums are often equipped with an electric rotating brush, which can help to dislodge dirt and debris from the carpet fibres, making it easier to pick up with the vacuum.

Thirdly, upright vacuums are typically more durable than other types of vacuum cleaners, making them well-suited to the demands and rigors of commercial cleaning.

Finally, using the recommended type of vacuum cleaner is often necessary to maintain the warranty on the carpet. Carpet manufacturers may specify the type of vacuum cleaner e.g. upright, that should be used to ensure that the carpet is cared for properly and in accordance with their guidelines.

upright vacuum cleaners

Upright vacuum cleaners

Overall, using an upright vacuum cleaner can help to ensure that commercial carpets are cleaned effectively and efficiently, and that they are cared for in a way that extends their life-span and maintains their appearance.

SEBO Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaners and Electric Powerbrushes are recommended by Carpet and Soft Floor Manufacturers for the correct care of their soft floor products because they have features and benefits which can suit certain pile styles and fibres as well as being ergonomic and user friendly.

When formulating a carpet maintenance plan for a facility it is important to refer to the carpet manufacturer’s warranty statements as well as the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 3733 – Textile floor coverings – Cleaning maintenance of residential and commercial carpeting.
