Suffering from allergies isn't fun, so how do you stop yourself
from the problems associated with allergies, there are air
purifiers, medication of course and then there are vacuum
cleaners. Since this site is dedicated to vacuum cleaners
I will discuss what to look for in a vacuum cleaning system,
including features and type of vacuums.
If you haven't heard of H.E.P.A, here is the what it stands
for, high efficiency particulate arresting. HEPA filters
are designed to remove 99.97% of all types of dust,
pollen, mold, bacteria from your carpets freeing you from
your allergies. HEPA filtration is essential if you want
to rid your carpets of everything that I have described
above.
When shopping for hepa filtration systems you
need to know the difference between a true hepa filter, and
absolute hepa filter and a hepa type filter. What are the
differences?
True and absolute hepa filters are the same
thing. These filters need to pass a test to certify that
they are truly a hepa filter. True HEPA filters are assigned
a serial number if they pass the test. What is the test
you ask? The filter needs to trap at
least 99.97 percent of particles of .3 microns.
Then there is the hepa type filter. HEPA type
filters have not been tested under the same specifications
as true filters. Instead of capturing 99.7% of dust particles
these filters clean 85 to 90 percent of particles, 5 -10
percent less.
There are all types of hepa vacuums that you
can use to vacuum your home, from canister vacuums, upright,
handheld and even central
vacuum cleaners.
- attachments - onboard tools such as upholstery
and crevice tools make your cleaning more efficient and
easier on you physically.
- cord length - the longer the better, or you can always
go with the cordless
vacuum system leaving you free of
any cord.
- bag or bagless - I prefer a bagless
vacuum, who needs
the hassle of changing vacuum bags if you don't have to.
I recommend that you check out AllBrands.com,
they offer a nice selection of vacuums from allergy sufferers
worth checking out.
