Which vacuum cleaner is ideal for a tidy home?
Vacuums come in six different basic categories. Small hand-held, stick, upright, canister, central cleaning system, and wet-dry vacuums are among the types of vacuums available.
Each of these vacuum types is available in a wide range of prices, brands, and fashions. Every vacuum has advantages and disadvantages.
They all have their place and time, much like tiny appliances in general. A well-organized home likely has a variety of vacuums that are utilized at various times and for various tasks.
I don't think there is a vacuum that can be used for everything. It should perform better and have more features if you pay more for it, without a doubt. Some vacuums contain so many functions and extras that it's difficult to find them all, let alone utilize them.
I won't discuss the advantages and disadvantages, or even the particular applications, of each form of vacuum in this post.
I want to talk about vacuuming right now and which vacuum to pick. I recommend vacuuming high traffic areas every day, or at the very least a few times per week.
When I was a young housewife, I vividly recall receiving new wall-to-wall carpeting for my dining room and living room as a gift. For me, it was a thrilling period. I was determined to protect my carpet for all time, so I took every precaution.
Although there was nothing wrong with my old vacuum, I wanted to make sure it was the right one to use on this new carpet.
So, being a naive youngster and expecting that my dad would purchase me a new vacuum that was "more appropriate," I asked the big question to the carpet salesman. How should I vacuum this carpet and what kind of vacuum should I use?
My father and husband rolled their eyes, anticipating, as I did, a push for the most expensive, top-of-the-line vacuum.
After a few period of silence, the salesman asked me if I really wanted his honest advice. I said that I did, yes.
He emphasized how ground-in dirt is the demise of any carpet and how vacuuming will prolong the life of the carpet while looking very sweetly at my dad, my husband, and myself.
That was true, I readily conceded, and I was awaiting his decision.
He grinned at me and stated that what he was about to say would probably not be to my liking. He continued by telling me that I didn't need the best vacuum in the entire world. A vacuum that I would utilize was necessary.
The finest vacuum for me, he continued, is one that is often used, regardless of its type or cost. The carpet cannot be kept spotless with a high-end vacuum that is kept in a closet.
The organized housekeeper uses appliances that she can manage and will readily use as often as necessary, I learned from that experience. However, a high-quality vacuum with all the extras is still essential for thorough cleaning.
The question I posed at the outset of this post has a very straightforward solution. The finest vacuum for the well-organized housewife to have on hand is the one that you will use every day.
