Many women in a hurry forget that the entry of certain debris into equipment simply shortens its service life. If you want your vacuum cleaner to last a long time, then remember this list!
We cannot imagine a single day without using at least some electrical appliance. Likewise, household appliances for cleaning the house are gradually replacing obsolete brooms, mops, etc. At the same time, every year new items delight us more and more with their functionality and convenience.
Technological progress has not passed by such a device as a vacuum cleaner. An increasing percentage of our homes are made up of washing vacuum cleaners. But not everyone has yet figured out how to use them. We'll try to help.
Unlike a regular washing vacuum cleaner, it has the ability to perform more thorough, deep cleaning. That is, now there will be no need for separate cleaning carpets. Of course, this will require various means and sprays, but you won’t have to work with your hands.

A vertical washing vacuum cleaner has the shape of a cylinder or trapezoid, and is characterized by large overall dimensions. This type is mainly used for cleaning large areas(for example, in country house, club, etc.). The disadvantage of a vertical washing vacuum cleaner is, of course, its heavy weight. Tank volume for clean water it reaches up to 10 liters, and for waste - even up to 30 liters.
A horizontal washing vacuum cleaner is practically no different in appearance from regular type. The big advantages of this type are maneuverability, fairly small size and weight. The volume of the clean water tank will be about 4-5 liters.
At the same time, horizontal washing vacuum cleaners also differ from each other in the position of the tank:

It’s better to talk about the possibility of using what you have already chosen. Before starting work, make sure that the product will not damage the color of the fabric. It is better to test in advance on a small, inconspicuous area by applying the product with a regular white cloth. If everything is fine, then you can start cleaning.
Add the product to the prepared water according to the recommendations indicated on the package. Pour the aqueous solution into the tank and close it. We turn on the pump and turbine of the vacuum cleaner and get to work.
At the end of work, turn off the washing vacuum cleaner not only with the toggle switch (button), but also unplug the plug from the socket. Empty the water from the tanks, rinse them and dry them thoroughly before assembling the entire structure.

Using Zelmer and Thomas vacuum cleaners is not only easy, but also convenient. The principle of their operation differs little from the use of conventional vacuum cleaners.
Today, cleaning without electrical equipment, which greatly facilitates and speeds up the process itself, is almost impossible to imagine. After all, if you can easily cope with cleaning smooth and even surfaces on your own, then upholstered furniture, fabrics, carpets, rugs and all kinds of rugs are a real challenge. They cannot be cleaned with a simple brush or broom, and rags are absolutely useless here. The main cleaning assistant is a vacuum cleaner, and other equipment, such as washing vacuum cleaners or floor polishers, can take on a large number of home care tasks.
Time does not stand still, and today technology makes it possible to simplify household chores as much as possible. Add to the list of your favorite technical assistants around the house - a dishwasher, a washing machine - and a vacuum cleaner so beloved by many, because today it is truly indispensable. Let's try to figure out how to properly use vacuum cleaners and other cleaning devices and what secrets there are in working with them.
Firstly, in order for the vacuum cleaner to truly be your assistant, take care of it no less than other equipment in the house. In addition to following all safety standards, such as storing in a dry room away from heat sources, you should also take care of the vacuum cleaner itself, keeping surfaces clean, never leaving the dust bin full and not pinching air ducts and wires to reduce the space that your vacuum cleaner takes up. vacuum cleaner.
Many people think that the effectiveness of a vacuum cleaner depends on which attachment is used for a particular surface. In fact, the vacuum cleaner cleans all surfaces equally and for effective cleaning it is not at all necessary to buy a whole set of additional attachments, hoses and accessories. Any, even the simplest vacuum cleaner can clean any type of surface.
Of course, brushes of different lengths or surface types for different attachments can improve the efficiency of working with certain delicate surfaces, but full cleaning can be done with a standard attachment. The main thing is that all accessories and attachments easily fit under the furniture, are maneuverable, and are equipped with protective wings and rubber gaskets to protect the furniture itself in your home.
But what really matters is the power of your equipment. In order for the vacuum cleaner to cope with even complex cleaning, effectively cleaning both smooth surfaces and thick carpets, its motor must have a power of at least 750 W, but at the same time be equipped with a power regulator, because when working with fragile or delicate surfaces it is often necessary to turn on a more “gentle” mode. " mode.
The dust bag should also be large and capacious, because if it is not large enough, the vacuum cleaner will fill up too quickly, which will lead to insufficient cleaning efficiency. This is the only strict requirement for vacuum cleaners, select the remaining parameters according to your budget and capabilities, but when purchasing, do not forget to check the physical parameters, because the vacuum cleaner will need to allocate storage space and whether the hose is completely removable, whether it is hidden inside, whether it is whether there are sockets for attachments, how ergonomic the design itself is and whether the vacuum cleaner can be folded into a compact package, which is very important for saving space in the house.
Be sure to pay attention to the noise of the vacuum cleaner. If possible, choose silent or quiet devices that will not cause discomfort during operation not only for you, but also for your neighbors. In addition, be sure to pay attention to the weight of the equipment, because during operation you will have to move the vacuum cleaner throughout the house and this should not take too much effort from you. Also check the ease of sliding of the device on the surface, the features of the wheels and maneuverability, which will allow you to avoid frequent situations with the need to lift the equipment to overcome obstacles and move around the room.
Only dry surfaces can be vacuumed. Never try to vacuum hot fabrics, wet floors, much less really wet floors. In addition, before the cleaning process itself, remove all large particles and dirt from the surface, including carefully inspecting the floor for sharp objects and particles that could damage your equipment by puncturing the fabric shell of the dust collector.
Make it a rule that the vacuum cleaner should not work without breaks for more than half an hour. If cleaning takes longer, stop, turn off the device and let the engine cool for at least 5, or better yet, 10 minutes. This will extend the life of the vacuum cleaner, and you will avoid the risk of breakdowns and loss of power.
Do not wait until the dust container is completely full while working. Clean it after each procedure or room, immediately after cleaning a certain area. The more your dust collector is filled, the smaller the volume of sucked air becomes, and, accordingly, the lower the efficiency of dust collection. In addition, a “loaded” vacuum cleaner begins to overheat, which significantly increases the risk of faster engine failure.
To ensure optimal cleaning and proper removal of dust, never press the vacuum cleaner brush tightly against the surface of the carpet or floor. The thing is that in order for the vacuum cleaner to carry out its functions normally, a sufficient flow of air must flow to the brush, along with which dust is sucked in. Therefore, the fact that you vigorously press the brush against the surface will not improve the cleaning itself, and you will spend a lot of effort. “Force” cleaning is one of the main mistakes when working with a vacuum cleaner. In fact, a vacuum cleaner is a device that is designed to make cleaning easier and the process itself should not be difficult. Brush lightly, as if gliding across the surface.
In addition to a regular vacuum cleaner, the equipment you can use during cleaning also includes a washing vacuum cleaner, which allows you to effectively carry out not only dry, but also wet cleaning. Those who prefer large carpets as floor coverings cannot do without such equipment.
As a rule, washing vacuum cleaners are large, powerful and ultra-efficient devices, but they can only be stored in the house if there are really large areas. Today you can find compact models in household appliance stores, but their power is very low. The easiest way is to rent a washing vacuum cleaner, which will save space and at the same time achieve the desired result.
Using a washing vacuum cleaner, they carry out both wet and dry cleaning, clean and “erase” surfaces of all types. The rules for working with it are the same as for conventional vacuum cleaners, only when wet cleaning and working with water, you should not allow water to stagnate between periods of work and dry the brushes and containers before putting the vacuum cleaner away for permanent storage.
For those who are faced with the constant problem of rubbing and polishing floors, a completely different electric “assistant” is suitable - a floor polisher. This is a special device that polishes the surface of natural floors after rubbing with mastic and wax. Such devices are indispensable where very large areas are covered with parquet or natural boards, but this device is also suitable for rubbing laminate, tile, and linoleum coatings. When working with the floor polisher, you must guide it, ensure that all surfaces (including wheels) are clean and that the water tanks are dry.
A washing vacuum cleaner is considered a universal device with which you can perform dry and wet cleaning. So, it not only accumulates dust in the bag, but can perform wet cleaning and wash surfaces. Its functionality depends on the power and the availability of various attachments. You will learn further about the operating principle and use of the vacuum cleaner.

Using a vacuum cleaner is best for cleaning surfaces covered with ceramic tiles or linoleum.
It is known that a laminate-covered floor cannot be heavily wetted, but the class of the laminate is of decisive importance. Some specimens are covered with a moisture-protective layer that repels liquids. This laminate has increased strength (class 32, 33). So, it can be washed with a washing vacuum cleaner, but class 31 cannot!
If you decide to do this procedure, it is advisable that the vacuum cleaner be of medium or high power, but not weak. During washing, the vacuum cleaner sprays a solution intended for wet cleaning of the floor, and the surface becomes wet. Only a powerful washing vacuum cleaner can thoroughly dry the floor after itself and prevent liquid from flowing into the cracks.
In order to wash laminate flooring with a vacuum cleaner, you must adhere to a number of recommendations:
In order for the laminate to serve for a long time and have its original appearance, it is better to wipe it with a mop with a microfiber cloth, which wipes well and does not scratch the surface.
