Advanced Vacuuming Tips for a Serious Home Cleaning

Plug it in, push the on switch and vacuum: that’s probably how you use your vacuum cleaner. It’s the way your mom or dad showed you how to do it, and it is the way you have been doing it ever since. Are you really getting the most out of your vacuuming though? Do you need Miele Vancouver service? There are some tricks and tips that even the most experienced vacuum user can use to get that little bit more out of their machine.

Fully Extend Your Retractable Cord

Did you know that leaving your cord retracted could actually be damaging your vacuum cleaner? If your vacuum has an automatic cord rewind, then before you start using it, pull the cord all of the way out. This will ensure that your vacuum can get rid of all the heat that is generated by the light and the running motor. Leaving the cord wrapped inside blocks airflow that keeps the motor cool. That heat can damage the motor and shorten the life of your vacuum meaning you may need Miele Vancouver service.

Don’t Wait for a Full Bag

Most people just wait until they notice a loss of suction power before changing the bag or emptying the container. The truth is that when the bag begins to get over halfway full, you start to degrade the suction power of your vacuum. This means your cleaning isn’t as deep as it should be, and there may be hard to get dirt left on the floor. Two thirds full is really the best time to change the bag or empty the canister. That way you are getting the best clean your vacuum can put out.

Pick Up Before You Vacuum

A vacuum cleaner cannot work miracles. Some people think that they can which is why they attempt to vacuum everything from change to small children’s toys with them. Large objects like this can seriously damage the internals of your vacuum cleaner and shorten its life span.

Before running the vacuum cleaner, pick up anything that is larger than the opening to the hose. This is typically things that are bigger than an inch or an inch and a quarter. Also, take the time to pick up things that might get stuck in the hose and clog it. Paper, dead leaves from plants and large clumps of pet hair are all things that can clog up your hose.

Your vacuum will appreciate the extra effort.

Go Slow

Very few people enjoy running the vacuum. That means everyone has a tendency to run it quickly with fast passes over the carpet to get done as soon as possible.  Unlike NASCAR, you can’t win vacuuming by going the fastest.

Take your time and make slow deliberate passes. Give your vacuum cleaner enough time to get up all the dirt trapped in your carpet.
