Vacuum Cleaners and Indoor Pollution



Interior air pollution in America is often a considerable and often confusing issue. Oddly enough, air quality is related to modern day constructing procedures.

Today's current dwellings are far superior to yesteryear homes in terms of insulation and air-tight sealing. Although this is terrific by way of electric power effectiveness and keeping pollens, smuts and other air-borne pollutants out side, it also means that any air-borne pollutants already in your own home will stay until removed. We can either open up the windows and doors to 'air out' the home, or we'll need efficient air filtering devices.

One of the biggest pollutant offenders will be the vacuum cleaner used to clean our households. If you ever get that dusty or moldy odor, specifically while vacuuming, it can be simply because of seapage through the vacuum bag and/or filter.

Take a look around the family room. Is there a fine sheen of dust particles across the lamp shades, pieces of furniture, TV and so forth? Usually, this dust wasn't introduced from the outdoors. It is basically just getting recirculated, a lot of it through vacuuming. By the way, the dust usually stays airborne for as much as 72 hours. Any kind of airborne debris not breathed into our respiratory system simply just settles onto our upholstery and then finally back into our carpets and floorings. Not really a nice situation.

Right now, to enable air or central heater filter systems to operate, the dust has to be airborne and air requires to be moved by way of the filtering media. In the meantime, that airborne dust, with all of its dangerous ingredients, is in the air that we breathe in.

Everyone's heard of HEPA filtering system. This is an marketplace common acronym, High Efficiency Particle Arrest, made by fed government researchers for passive air filtration. The usual is necessary to trap 99.97% of all airborne particles down to .3 microns. HEPA is used in nearly every vacuum bag and lots of air filters in the U.S. However here's the normal issues with HEPA. HEPA was made for Passive Air circulation. Passive Air circulation basically means gentle or normal environmental air movement, such as motion of air within our living room space, as an example. There will be no strong fan or other gadget driving air in to the filtering system at a very high volume. We don't feel the air currents unless of course we're sitting in front of a fan, quite simply.

Nonetheless, any time HEPA is used in a vacuum cleaner, it is really subjected to the strong exhaust air amount of the vacuum. The ensuing airflow speedily clogs the HEPA container and filtration system, as well as degrading the material. Whenever the filtering system medium is saturated, or blocked, the machine cannot "breathe".

A thicker air filter can be utilized in the vacuum, but air-flow is decreased. The equipment will filter a lot more air but capture much less dirt.

Given that airflow will now be diminished, the cleaning ability of the vacuum is lessened. A good deal more dirt is left in the carpet flooring and the air that does get through is polluted, effectively creating a dust storm. Unless of course we change our bags and filters often, we're beating the reason for vacuuming.

This difficulty has been solved by some vacuum manufacturers. They use seven layers of the state-of-the-art Electrostatic polypropylene micro-fiber, in conjunction with HEPA, built to permit complete airflow with no clogging, and filtering as small as .3 microns, about the size of a staph bacteria!

Using this brand new technological know-how, the dirt never becomes airborne to start with, yet virtually every grain of soil and contamination is removed from the household via the vacuum, creating a considerably cleaner and healthier natural environment, nearly allergen free. For more resources on this particular topic, go to your local vacuum dealership.

A great vacuum cleaner would need to be cleaned up quite often for it to hold world-class effectiveness. I use my own daily so a significant cleaning method is essential.
