3 Tips For Better Vacuuming

Vacuuming Too Quickly

Getting through your chores as fast as possible is probably your goal. However, speeding through vacuuming means you miss a lot of dirt, dust and other allergens. Your vacuum's brush needs time to agitate the carpet to get the maximum effect.

Vacuuming In One Direction

Vacuuming in only one direction traps dirt and grime underneath carpet fibers. Run your vacuum in multiple directions, north to south, east to west, and in a back and forth motion, for the best results.

Didn't Check Your Vacuum

When vacuuming different textures and floors you will need to adjust your vacuum cleaner to fit the carpet. Making sure it is the proper height for your carpet will make vacuuming more efficient. Another commonly missed item is the vacuum bag or dirty collector. If it gets too full the suction decreases, preventing you from sucking up ground-in dirt. It's recommended that you empty the bag once it's halfway full.

Although proper vacuuming will help decrease the number of allergens and the amount of dirt in your carpets, it can't remove everything. It's recommended, along with weekly vacuuming, to get your carpets professionally cleaned every 3 to 6 months, especially with kids and pets in the home.
