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.

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.

3 Top tips on choosing the right vacuum cleaner

SEBO offers some handy healthy tips on what to consider when purchasing a new vacuum cleaner for your home.

Healthy Vacuum = Healthy Home

1. Upright or barrel vacuum cleaner?

Uprights are great for a large carpeted area as they are easy to manoeuvre and increase productivity, whereas a barrel could be considered for small areas with lots of furniture and hard floors.

Many vacuum cleaners, however, can do both jobs as many premises have different floors.

Also, take a look at the attachments and make sure your whole site is catered for (bear in mind you’ll be vacuuming furniture, curtains and A/C vents)

2. What floorcoverings do you have in your home?

It’s not just the difference between carpet or hard flooring; it’s the type of flooring fibre or material too. For example, if you have the niche Triexta carpet fibre, you’ll want a model that specifically caters for that plush pile. The SEBO X7 Boost Automatic (91542AU) with a rotating electric brush roller, large wheels, adjustable brush height and high filtration is recommended by Godfrey Hirst (Eco+) and Feltex (Redbook Green) for the correct care and maintenance of their product.

Hard flooring can be uneven so look for something designed to cope with this, such as a parquet head that comes as standard with the SEBO E3 Premium Barrel (91646AU).

3. 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 bags which keep all the dust and particles inside.

Bagless debris disposal can allow dirt and allergens to escape back into the air contributing to poor indoor air quality.
