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?
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!
