Hello and welcome to Dallas Maids! Here’s a question we get asked by our clients all the time: What Is The Best Way To Vacuum Your House?
House cleaning is not fun; however, it is of some sort a necessary evil that you must do. Most people don’t question cleaning techniques; however, there are ways to make your vacuuming fun and effective.
Prepare the surface
It doesn’t look like what you would hear; however, you should prepare your floor before cleaning. At this stage, you need to pick the clutter and anything that will get in your way of doing an effective job. Not only does this approach save you time, but it also makes work less stressful and lets you get a direction for your cleaning.
After this, dust down the items to remove dirt. Removing dirt from places furniture and fittings will help to give a cleaner look when you are done with vacuuming.
Configure the cleaner for the job
Vacuum cleaners have different speeds and settings to let you get the best out of every job. Hence, you should set it to match the pace you want to work. After this, adjust the brush head height for more efficiency.
Generally, the machine won’t clean deep-down debris when the brush is too high and won’t spin well when it is too low. Although some devices have an automatic height adjustment feature, you should check to make sure you have the right fit. If you need to, empty the dust bin or bag before use.
Works slowly and consistently
Take your time vacuuming to make the surface as clean as possible. You can start at the edges and work your way to the other end, pushing the vacuum straight. After pushing the machine forward, pull it back slowly to collect hidden dirt and trapped debris.
However, be careful to use the correct speed setting. Slow-motion or careful vacuuming lets the device’s vibration pick loose debris. Repeat the process slowly in overlapping roles until you are satisfied. Don’t vacuum up alone, but clean in two directions, 90-degrees and side to side vacuuming.
Give priority to high-traffic areas
Areas of your home that see more action should be cleaned with more rigor than less trodden parts. The reason is that places like this will have more dirt accumulation than any other areas of your home. As a result, you should pay attention to these areas.
Your cleaner needs time to take up dirt; hence, the need to work slowly. Like you did with other parts of the room, push and pull it slowly to give it time to take the dirt.
Use the right product
There are different types of vacuum cleaners, each with unique features to make your floor appear cleaner. However, there are not too many one-size fit all with a vacuum. For example, some cleaning products are not best for rugs and carpets, while some can handle silk and wool with ease. In essence, use a compatible cleaner for significant results.
Conclusion
After use, you need to be careful about how you store the vacuum cleaner. Always empty the bag and clean the machine before storing it.
