It isn't just dust. Eighty percent of household dust is actually dead skin cells from us and our pets, and the feces from dust mites that eat that skin dander. Most of us are not greatly affected by this "dust", some of us suffer from sneezing, runny nose, and headaches from just a minute amount of this stuff floating in the air. What has this to do with vacuum cleaners? Plenty, it turns out.
The first is a fan system that will help circulate air out into the rest of the home. The temperature differences from room to room will eventually equalize, but a few ceiling fans can help.Almost no HEPA filters are washable. Some manufacturers say they are, but it is like trying to wash a paper plate. They crumble and disintegrate. Most HEPA filters can be cleaned, at least partially, by using an air compressor to plow out the filter. Just make sure the dirty side of the filter is pointed away from you. Otherwise you will actually force the dirt further into the filter.The second issue to consider is your flooring. Windows are great and all, but what happens when the sun goes down? No more sunlight and no more heat. To overcome this problem, you can make improvements to the flooring below the windows. Yank up the carpet and put in some material that soaks up the sunlight. Certain ceramic and masonry products will hold significant amounts of heat. As the sun beats down on them, they slowly heat up during the day. Once the sun sets, they start giving off heat which allows you to maximize your passive solar system.Bagless vacuum also can cause an airborne allergen attack when you dump out the container. We suggest using HEPA filter liners, or Micron Filtration liners to hold the dirt. They make less of a dirty mess when you dispose of them. With a HEPA filter that is sealed, micron filtration bags, and a high quality motor casing to prevent warping, you can enjoy a virtually dust free indoor envirenment. With sealed HEPA filters, some high end vacuum cleaners literally clean the air as you vacuum your home.While this strategy will not replace your traditional heating costs, it can act as a supplemental system to take care of heating issues during the day and early evening. Break out your hammer and you can cut a chunk out of your utility bill!Amazingly, the motor material helps with the allergies. A metal motor in the vacuum cleaner will dissipate the heat from inside the motor. A cooler motor will not heat up the plastic enough to warp it. Your filtration will be kept sealed and functioning.A few of the very best canister vacuums have very well made power nozzles with a high speed motor revolving the brush roll. Some canister vacuum cleaners with a power nozzle also are very easy to push because the nozzle automatically adjusts to any height of carpet. This feature is found on many higher end models.Canister vacuum cleaners with a power nozzle also cost more than their upright counterparts. The reason is that they simply cost more to make. You have two motors instead of one, and the electrified hoe that they have is quite expensive to make.
I hope this helped.
