In this day of high pollution and allergies among a large proportion of our society, it's no wonder we look at different methods of improving our indoor air quality. There are many ways of improving our health through various products, like air purifiers that filter out unhealthy particles in the atmosphere. Some people prefer humidifiers, or even steam cleaners to freshen up the air, or simply the old-fashioned way of ventilating your home by frequently opening windows to let air circulate around your rooms.
Not many would even consider using a vacuum cleaner for the purpose of improving air quality. After all, a vacuum cleaner is for the purpose of getting dirt and dust out of your carpets, isn't it? In the last decade or so, vacuums have become more advanced, more powerful, better high-tech features, higher filtration techniques, and generally easier to operate with functions that make vacuuming an almost pleasant experience.
The problem is that most homes are today overwhelmed with dust mites, enemy number one for the entire family, not just allergy and asthma sufferers. They are invisible to the naked eye because they are so minute in size, but do cause a lot of problems in the average household. They are in your airspace, you share a bed with these pests, they set up home in your carpets, and worse of all is that you inhale their faeces every day without knowing about it. Sorry to put it so bluntly, but this is fact. This slowly affects your breathing and you may start to sneeze and feel the onset of allergy symptoms that cause misery to millions.
Using the 'correct vacuum cleaner' is one of the best ways to reduce the dust mite population in your home, and will go a long way to help you live in a clean, fresh, dust free environment while you breathe in only pure fresh air. This will have major health benefits for the entire family. There are plenty of vacuums specially designed for reducing dust mites and improving your indoor air quality.
They operate using very high filtration techniques that involve HEPA filtration - 'High-Efficiency Particulate Air'. They trap over 99.97 percent of unhealthy dust, their mites, pollen, even smoke particles, tiny hair strands, allergens, and of course those pollutants that float into your home from outside. Quality vacuum cleaner manufacturers like Sebo and Miele are experts in the production of these advanced machines that can filter out the tiniest particles from you airspace, and get the offending creatures out of your carpets and bedding. You should look out for vacuums that come with special cleaning accessories, such as the turbo tool and the upholstery nozzle.
The reason that vacuum cleaners are better for this job of cleaning you indoor air over air purifiers, is that air purifiers can only filter particles that are floating around in the air. They can not get dust and their mites out of your carpets, curtains, rugs, upholstery and bedding areas. The majority of dust mites live in your carpets, and from there they enter into the air. You must start reducing the dust mite masses from your carpets first before purifying your airspace. This can only be done with help from an efficient HEPA vacuum cleaner which does both jobs at the same time.
