Upright vacuums are more effective and efficient in removing dirt and debris from carpets than suction- only vacuum cleaners like backpacks or barrels.

In a commercial cleaning environment an upright vacuum cleaner is recommended and may reduce WHS issues such as back, shoulder, neck and arm strain often caused by repetitive push pull stresses.

An upright vacuum cleaner should be part of your Carpet Cleaning Program in accordance with the Carpet Manufacture care guide and improved indoor air quality (IAQ).

Brushing is better!

Carpet Care Planning Is Cruicial

A common mistake when it comes to Commercial Carpet Cleaning

Failure to have in place a carpet maintenance program

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.

Commercial carpet cleaning companies who do not implement cleaning programs or use incorrect cleaning equipment appear to do so for two main reasons: budget constraints and poor cleaning knowledge.

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

INCLEAN MAGAZINE

Working with a cleaning budget?

SEBO Dart 2 Upright

Shortcuts could actually cost you more in the long run and commercial cleaning companies who just surface clean with ‘suction-only’ vacuum cleaners perform a grave disservice to their customers “if it looks clean then it must be clean”. Wrong.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning Equipment

To be able to implement a maintenance program access to the correct equipment is essential. Cleaning soft floor with incorrect, non-approved methods, equipment and chemicals may result in damage to the product and invalidation of the warranties.

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.

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

Vacuum Cleaner Filtration

SEBO vacuums possess 3-step filtration system consisting of:

  1. A multi layer filter bag.
  2. A micro-hygiene filter.
  3. An exhaust filter. 

Together they achieve excellent filter results.

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.

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

Vacuum filter bag technology has come a long way. If you live with allergies, asthma or simply want a clean emptying process, look for a machine with high filter vacuum bags. SEBO Ultra filter bags keep the dust and allergy particles sealed 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 vacuum which captures the debris in a filter bag will decrease the chances of dust blow back. The advantage of using is a sealed filter bag is that it is disposable. Thus you don’t’ have to worry exposing yourself to the harmful particles.

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.

Check out SEBO’s specifically designed Parquet Floor Head.

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.
