Fuzzy wool loop carpet?

SEBO Felix removes wool loop pilling and fuzz

Stick vacuums, robot vacuums and vacuum cleaners that feature turbo heads, can damage wool loop carpet causing a fuzzy surface.

Does your wool loop carpet look fuzzy or is it pilling? You could be using the wrong type of vacuum cleaner and potentially causing harm to your wool loop carpet investment.

Perhaps you’ve used your stick vacuum or robotic vac on your new wool loop carpet and it’s gone fuzzy. Or maybe you’re using a ‘suction only‘ vacuum cleaner head and you can’t get rid of the unsightly shedding or pilling.

Suction only vacuum head…it’s not that simple

Not all suction-only vacuum cleaners are suitable for 100% wool loop carpets. Some ‘suction only’ vacuum cleaners can damage wool loop causing an unsightly fuzzy appearance. Poor design of the suction only floor head and coarse retracted bristles can contribute to a fuzzy surface across 100% wool loop carpets.

SEBO have vacuum cleaner models and special designed vacuum cleaner heads to suit 100% wool loop carpet which aim to reduce that unsightly fuzz or pilling.

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?

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.

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.

Commercial Carpet Cleaning Equipment

To be able to implement a maintenance program access to the correct equipment is essential. Cleaning soft floor with incorrect, non-approved methods, equipment and chemicals may result in damage to the product and invalidation of the warranties.
