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.

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.

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.

Use only genuine SEBO bags as these are carefully designed for optimum performance and longevity of SEBO vacuum cleaners.

SEBO Delicate Brush Roller — Regular cleaning improves pick up

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.

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)

SEBO FLOORCARE GUIDE

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?

Allergens and bagless vacuums — Allergens in the atmosphere

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.

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?

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!

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.

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

Working with a cleaning budget?

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.
