Vacuums

The three most important things to remember about a vacuum are:

1) use it,
2) use it, and
3) use it!


Of course, use one in good working condition. Using an inexpensive vacuum frequently is going to yield a healthier home environment than using a high-dollar model occasionally.

If you are interested in improving the indoor air quality of your home, and if you have followed the previous steps in this website, I highly recommend you invest in a vacuum with a HEPA (High Efficiency Particulate Air) filter on it. As the air is exhausted back into the room, it passes through one of these filters which screens particulate to the size of .3 microns. Consequently, you don't re-contaminate the air in your house as you vacuum. Vacuuming can stir up a lot of dust, and the importance of a filter to preserve air quality cannot be overstated.


More vacuum manufacturers are installing HEPA filters on their units. At A-1 Cleaning Connection, Inc. we can provide you with a demonstration of the model which we carry. This unit has a unique dust collection apparatus, as well as a built-in hose with an assortment of hand tools. And - we can sell it to you for less than the discount houses. If you've just bought a high-priced vacuum, don't go out and buy a new unit. It is very likely the manufacturer can provide the means to upgrade your vacuum with a HEPA filter. Also, there are HEPA collection bags on the market which might fit your present vacuum as well.

If you are unable to upgrade your vacuum with a HEPA filter, all is not lost. The ion generator discussed earlier can readily handle the stirred-up dust your vacuum might kick up.

The ideal situation is to use a vacuum with a HEPA filter, especially if you are striving for optimum indoor air quality, and to vacuum the traffic areas of your house at least once a week and more often if you have time. With the unit we sell, because it has a visible collection cylinder, you will be able to see the quantity of dust, debris and dirt that collects in your carpets in just a few days. This alone usually encourages people to vacuum more frequently, as well as take the additional steps to control dust and contaminants in their homes.
