How Often Do I Need To Vacuum My Home?
That will depend on a few factors. The size of your family, if you have pets, and of course, if you have guests coming over might all impact your cleaning schedule. Generally speaking, it is recommended that vacuuming be done weekly or every other week to keep the home clean. Not only does this make your space look cleaner, but it is also great for you and your family’s health. Vacuuming can improve air quality, remove allergens, and make your home look and smell fresher. That said, some reasons to increase or decrease your vacuuming schedule might be based on the size of your family, or if you have pets. Pet dander is a common allergen, and pets can shed seasonally. During those higher shedding seasons, you might need to increase how often you vacuum. Additionally, you might need to clean ad hoc based on upcoming events in your home.
How Do I Pick The Right Vacuum Cleaner For My Home?
When choosing a vacuum cleaner for a home you need to consider the things that make vacuum cleaners different. First and foremost, some vacuums are just high quality than others and are built with better motors, filters, etc. While they may be more expensive, they are a great investment as they will be more durable. That said, that makes it all the more important to pick the right vacuum. The other factors to consider are things like the size/weight of the vacuum as well as the cleaning head. If you have large open space in your home, a larger cleaning head and a bigger vacuum with a higher capacity might be the right call. But if you need to get around tight spaces and under furniture, you are going to love a light weight vacuum or a vacuum that has a head that is detached from the body.
How Should I Clean Before I Vacuum?
Always clean from the top down. It is a huge waste of time to vacuum your home, and then clean/dust furniture. Wiping down furniture and cleaning walls, ceiling fans, etc. is a guaranteed way to move dirt and debris back on to the floor. Start by cleaning ceiling fans, bookshelves, and any and all flat surfaces above the floor.
How Should I Vacuum My Room?
When cleaning a room you should always vacuum in rows and vacuum in a forward and backward motion when cleaning carpets. Making multiple passes can provide a deeper clean, and cleaning in rows is the most efficient way to avoid missing any area of the room. We highly recommend a versatile vacuum cleaner with various attachments as well as a hand vacuum option. This makes it easier to quickly clean around furniture. Make sure to move furniture as well to ensure that they get cleaned under, as well as moving any cords or power strips. Some of the dirtiest areas are under and behind furniture or around power cords that aren’t frequently moved.
