- Commercial Vacuums are designed to clean larger areas, have longer chords and provide health benefits other vacuums do not.
- They assist in improving air quality, help to trap allergen causing particles and what gets sucked in stays in. Vacuums such as these also help remove harmful dust, pollen and dead skin cells that can irritate a person’s allergies.
- Commercial vacuuming on a weekly or daily basis cleans carpets more effectively and allows then to hold more dirt that may be carried into the communal office area.
- They can also help prolong the life of a hardwood floor and help create a more visually appealing element to an office. Every time a person’s foot touches a floor it creates friction between the show and the floor. Overtime, this friction slowly tears away at the surface. By using the correct vacuum, it prevents dirt from getting caught into the grooves on the floor and forming a sandpaper like substance which will almost certainly, tear away at your floor.

You should note that this method of vacuuming does not stains as efficiently, it still meets the basic deep cleaning requirements. THis makes it particularly effective because most carpets and floors don’t need water or chemicals.
- It should be remembered that it is essential that the bags are changed regularly and filters checked and cleaned to maintain optimal suction and maximise cleaning capabilities.
How is commercial vacuuming effective?
Commercial vacuuming is better for the environment. As opposed to than the old fashioned method of wet mopping or carpet cleaning. Where mopping and carpet cleaning rely primarily on water, vacuums take a more environmentally friendly approach. Commercial vacuums rely on greater powerful suction and faster circulation of air to suck up any kind of dirt or grime stuck to the carpet or floor. While commercial vacuums obviously require electricity if not battery operated, the greater suction power gets the job done much faster and more effectively than your normal domestic Henry Vacuum, which offsets the cost of electricity.
Carpets are the lifesaver of every office. Mats are commonly placed at all entryways and exits. Mats trap dirt that is otherwise brought into your office, possibly from an unclean environment. Special fibers grab dirt, pull it deep into the materials and hold onto it. As a result, daily commercial vacuuming cleans the dirt from the fibers within the mat or carpet. This in turn then allows them to hold onto more dirt. Keeping your office feeling fresher and cleaner for longer.
Vacuuming during Covid-19
As the Current Covid-19 pandemic has shown us it is that cleaning and hygiene practices have become more important than ever before. Aside from regularly touched surfaces, adjacent surfaces, such as floors, have the capacity to transmit germs and infections should virus particles be stirred into the air. According to microlearning course from the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control.
Evidence from studies have shown that that SARS-CoV-2 virus particles can potentially be dispersed through the air and then deposited onto other surfaces i.e. floors. Another reason why keeping floors and carpets as clean as possible is so critical as more and more people return to the office. Vacuuming has now become the first step to cleaner floors and protecting you and those around you in the office.
