Our X7 Boost Upright Vacuum is pet friendly removing fur from rugs.

SEBO vacuum cleaners remove Pet Hair time after time. How?

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

Vacuum brush roller and pet hair

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. Then use the crevice nozzle attached to the hose to suck off the cut hair.

Sealable filter bags ensure that, once anything has been picked up, it will never see daylight again. The filer system removes pet dander, pet hair and other allergens from the ambient air.

Healthcare Hospital Vacuum Indoor Air Quality

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?

Upright vacuum brush roller

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!

SEBO Clean Floors = Cleaner Indoor Air

In improving healthcare hospital hygiene we not only have to consider the risk of bacterial growth on surfaces we make contact with, we also have look at the potential risk of airborne diseases.

So the carpet has been cleaned. Now we must dispose of the contents hygienically to not only protect the Operator but reduce the allergens being released back into the atmosphere!

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.

Fuzzy wool loop carpet?

Some vacuum cleaners such as stick vacs, robots and ones that feature turbo heads, can damage wool loop carpet causing a fuzzy surface – which doesn’t look the best.

Does your wool loop carpet look fuzzy or is pilling? It could be that you’re using the wrong type of vacuum cleaner.

Suction only…it’s not that simple

Suction only vacuum cleaner

Not all suction vacuum cleaners are suitable for wool loop carpets. Some ‘suction only’ vacuum cleaners available in Retail stores can damage the wool loop and cause a fuzzy wool loop appearance across the carpet surface due to the poor design of the combination floor head and coarse retracted bristles.

SEBO have vacuum cleaner models designed to suit wool loop carpet and reduce that unsightly fuzz.

Trouble vacuuming plush thick carpet?

plush carpet vacuum

You can get stuck using the wrong type of vacuum cleaner on plush carpet.

SEBO designs vacuum cleaners to suit a variety of carpet types – even tricky plush, thick, ultra soft cut pile twist. High pile and plush pile carpets need a vacuum cleaner with a good brush roller to effectively clean in and around the carpet fibres removing debris and allergens – Suction only vacuum cleaners simply cannot achieve this effectively.

Many vacuum cleaners simply can’t handle thick carpet!

When it comes to vacuums, one size does not fit all. It’s important to note that your current vacuum may not work well on your fabulous new plush, thick, soft carpet. Over the past several years, it appears some vacuum manufacturers have focused on creating extremely high suction vacuums. High suction vacuums do not work well on thick, high, plush pile carpets, like Triexta, Mohawk’s SmartStrand, Choice’s Flooring Sensitive Choice Brease and Godfrey Hirst’s Eco+ softest offerings.

Most thick plush pile carpet suppliers recommend a vacuum cleaner with the following features:

  • Adjustable height
  • Electric brush roller
  • Good air flow
  • Large wheels
  • High filtration
  • Bagged upright

So, which vacuum should you purchase for thick pile / plush pile carpet?

SEBO X7 Boost Upright with electronic control height adjustment identifies the floor and the height of the carpet nap, raising or lowering the brush automatically for optimum cleaning even on plush, high pile carpet.

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”.

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.

LONG TERM ASSET MAINTENANCE DEEP CLEAN VALUE

What do you know about upright vacuum cleaners?

It’s interesting to hear about the changing preferences in the Australian cleaning industry where ‘quality productivity’ and ‘presentation’ are becoming important factors rather than the traditional benchmark of ‘speed’ or ‘square metres per hour’.

Sometimes an overemphasis on productivity and speed can come at a cost of asset deterioration in the long term. In the cleaning industry, this might mean that certain cleaning methods or equipment that prioritise productivity over quality may actually cause more harm to the property in the long run, leading to increased maintenance and repair costs for the property owners.

Flooring is an investment and using the correct equipment to maintain the asset is vital.

Floor care guides play a crucial role in helping property owners and cleaning professionals understand how to properly clean and maintain different types of flooring materials. These guides provide information on recommended cleaning methods, equipment, and chemicals, as well as tips on how to prevent damage and maintain the appearance of the flooring over time.

By regularly updating their floor care guides, manufacturers can ensure that the information they provide is relevant and accurate, and that it reflects best practices in the cleaning industry. This can help property owners and cleaning professionals make informed decisions about how to care for their flooring, leading to better outcomes for the flooring’s appearance and longevity.

Carpet Manufacturers recommend Upright Vacuums

Carpet manufacturers often recommend using an upright vacuum cleaner for commercial carpet/soft floor care for several reasons.

Firstly, upright vacuum cleaners are generally more powerful than other types of vacuum cleaners, such as backpack, barrel or stick vacuums. This means they are better able to remove dirt and debris from deep within the carpet fibres, which can help to extend the life of the carpet and prevent the build-up of dirt and allergens.

Secondly, upright vacuums are often equipped with an electric rotating brush, which can help to dislodge dirt and debris from the carpet fibres, making it easier to pick up with the vacuum.

Thirdly, upright vacuums are typically more durable than other types of vacuum cleaners, making them well-suited to the demands and rigors of commercial cleaning.

Finally, using the recommended type of vacuum cleaner is often necessary to maintain the warranty on the carpet. Carpet manufacturers may specify the type of vacuum cleaner e.g. upright, that should be used to ensure that the carpet is cared for properly and in accordance with their guidelines.

upright vacuum cleaners

Upright vacuum cleaners

Overall, using an upright vacuum cleaner can help to ensure that commercial carpets are cleaned effectively and efficiently, and that they are cared for in a way that extends their life-span and maintains their appearance.

SEBO Commercial Upright Vacuum Cleaners and Electric Powerbrushes are recommended by Carpet and Soft Floor Manufacturers for the correct care of their soft floor products because they have features and benefits which can suit certain pile styles and fibres as well as being ergonomic and user friendly.

When formulating a carpet maintenance plan for a facility it is important to refer to the carpet manufacturer’s warranty statements as well as the Australian and New Zealand standard AS/NZS 3733 – Textile floor coverings – Cleaning maintenance of residential and commercial carpeting.

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.
