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

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

  1. 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. Use the crevice nozzle attached to the hose to suck off the cut hair.

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

First Impressions Count

Looks

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

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

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.
