What you should know about Building Biology and how it affects you

We understand that Building Biology is the study how a man-made environment impacts your health.  Understanding Building Biology principles can help you create a healthier home and workplace using SEBO Vacuum Cleaners.

Indoor air quality and children
EPA studies show poor indoor air quality contributes to poor health and learning outcomes

SEBO vacuum cleaners support the Building Biology principles by:

1. Removing harmful allergens (house dust mites, mould, pet and pest dander)

Deep cleaning electric brush rollers that feature on the premium SEBO vacuum cleaner range remove maximum debris and allergens from carpets and hard floors.

Not all vacuum cleaners are the same. Tests conducted by CHOICE show SEBO vacuum cleaners can remove up to 92 percent of debris from carpets – far more than any other vacuum cleaner brand on the market.

Dust mite drop faeces

The S Class Filtration system captures house dust mites, pollen, mould spores, dust, pet and pest dander. The SEBO S-CLASS system will remove 100% of particles of 1 micron and above. Dust mite faeces are approx. 10 microns.

This method ensures that the fine dust particles and allergens stay in the closed vacuum cleaner system. Every SEBO bag has a convenient hygiene lid to seal the bag after it is full – no dust will escape.

2. Improving indoor air quality (IAQ)

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.

Cleanier air

European manufacturers use the term S-CLASS on their models.

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

The Sensitive Choice® blue butterfly symbol appears on products and services that may be a better choice for people with asthma or allergies.

SEBO is a proud partner of the National Asthma Council Australia’s Sensitive Choice® Program.

Bag or Bagless Vacuum

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 vacuum bags which keep all the dust and allergy particles inside.

All SEBO vacuums are bagged technology – more hygienic!

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.

Streak-free, water-less cleaning for wood floors

Polish and vacuum wood floors easily

There are many types of wood flooring. With a variety of finishes how does one go about correctly caring for wood floors? SEBO makes it easy with a wood floor polisher and vacuum cleaner all in one!

Hard or soft wood species, bamboo (although strictly this is a grass), solid wood or engineered composite ‘planks’, lacquered, oiled or waxed, raw wood can also be used, but a protective surface finish is necessary to maintain the floor quality and so raw wood is not covered by this guide.

Floor Polisher for wood

General care and maintenance of each type will be similar, a different approach only being required when restoration of the surface is required.

Sebo Parquet top

Soft wood – usually sanded and sealed floorboards – is much more prone to damage than hardwood and so will need more care and attention. However, as even hard woods like oak are susceptible to scratching and damage, no wood floor will remain pristine.

Wood Floor finishes

There are three types of finish; polyurethane, oil and wax. Each is cleaned in a similar way, but how you restore the surface depends very much on which finish you have.

Polyurethane:

This is effectively a layer of plastic which protects and seals the wood. It is by far the most common sealant used today. Never apply oil or wax to polyurethane. For an optimum gloss surface use a polisher fitted with diamond pads.

Oil:

Osmo oil on parquet floors

The wood is impregnated with natural oils to give a water resistant finish. To maintain the finish re-apply the specified oil product. For an optimum gloss surface use a polisher fitted with standard (in conjunction with further oil treatment or diamond pads).

Wax:

Sometimes considered a contentious treatment for hardwood floors, adding wax to your hardwood floor can improve its look relatively quickly. Wax is easy to clean and buff. It is also easy to add wax to continuously improve the look of your hardwood floor. However, an excessive build up wax may be difficult to remove. Also wax must never be put on an oiled or polyurethane surface. For an optimum gloss surface use a polisher fitted with standard pads.
