The
Art of Vacuuming – Capell Flooring and Interiors
It may seem obvious, but do you know
all techniques to vacuum your carpet? Here are a few helpful hints to make
household cleaning and vacuuming more beneficial to your carpet:
1. Dust your room from “the
top-down” before. Allow gravity to work for you as you clean.
2. When your vacuum cleaner bag
reaches half-full, change it. As bags or containers begin to fill-up, they
become less efficient.
3. Store things like shoes off the
floor to make vacuuming in closets easier.
4. If you live in a two-story house,
go ahead and get two vacuum cleaners: one for the upstairs and one for the
downstairs. Don’t let to the hassle of carrying your vacuum cleaner up and down
a flight of stairs keep you from the proper vacuuming.
5. To clean carpeted stairs, work
from the top–down with a hand-held vacuum cleaner.
6. Setting the vacuum cleaner height
correctly really does make a difference.
7. Always look for the Carpet and
Rug Institute Seal of Approval on vacuum cleaner equipment and attachments. It’s
your assurance that you’re buying the best tools for the job.
In order to achieve proper
vacuuming, it should ideally occur about once a week in most homes. The more
traffic you have in certain areas, like hallways, around entrances, etc., the
more often you should do it.
