Vacuuming … why bother?

We all know that there are more exciting things in life to do than get out the vacuum cleaner, but here are a few reasons why it’s good to vacuum…

  • Prolong the life of your flooring: vacuuming really can help keep your flooring looking good and prolong the life of your flooring.
  • Prevent flooring being damaged: vacuuming removes the tiny particles of dust and dirt that you can’t see, that get brought into our homes as part of everyday life.  These bits can cause damage on all types of flooring.  On carpets they damage the pile and on vinyl, laminates and wooden floors, these bit of dirt act like sandpaper and rub away at the surface or cause scratches.
  • Reduce asthma and allergies: vacuuming can remove allergens, such as common dust, pet dander and other pollutants, which can remove the causes of asthma and allergies.  It would seem that regular vacuuming really is good for your health!
  • Save money: regular vacuuming can reduce the frequency and hence cost of professional cleaning.

We are often asked which vacuum cleaner we would recommend.  We don’t recommend any particular cleaner, just that you regularly use the one you have!  If you think that it is time for new flooring in your home, please come and see us in Anstey or South Wigston and look at our huge range of carpets, vinyl and Karndean flooring.
