We know how it annoying it can be to suffer from allergies - runny nose, red face, puffy, swollen eyes, the list goes on - and if not managed properly, they can make your home life unbearable. If you or your kids suffer from allergies or asthma, then your vacuum cleaner can be used for more than just keeping your home in immaculate condition. It can be used to get rid of pet hair, dust mites, pollen and any number of other allergens.
Here are a few quick tips to help you turn your weekly vacuuming session into an all out allergy management programme.
- Dust mites' favourite playgrounds are mattresses, bedding and furniture, so pay special to these. being an allergy sufferer also means vacuuming more regularly. Because dust mites can't be seen with the naked eye, your house can look great but still need the attention.
- Make sure you vaccum upholstery, especially if you've got pets that shed hair. Use attachements on the vacuum to get into the corners of cushions and around pillows and mattresses. The Vorticity's mini floorhead uses cyclonic technology to dislodge dirt, hair and dust mites in hard to reach areas like these. Remember, even though the dust is out of sight, it's still there!
- A typical used mattress may have anywhere from 100,000 to 10 million mites inside - what a thought! make sure you vacuum your bedding at least twice a week to keep the pesky population to a minimum. We also recommend you vacuum the carpet underneath your bed, between the mattress and bed base and any edges that come in contact with the wall - all areas in which the little critters like to hide.
- Without the proper equipment, vacuuming can often make the home environment worse for allergy sufferers, disturbing allergens laying on surfaces that can remain in the air for hours after cleaning. Using a cleaner with a HEPA filtration system, such as the Vorticity, will retain 99.7% of those allergens and create a much more comfortable environment for you and your family to enjoy.
