Bust the dust with this versatile vacuum
URBAN city dwellers can attest that dealing with dust is an everyday struggle. Man-made dusts are prevalent in urban areas largely as by-products from a myriad of activities ranging from large-scale industrial plant operations to simply a neighbourhood house renovation.
Those living close to highways or roads with heavy vehicular traffic can recount how prodigious dust can collect on furniture and floors if all access to the indoors are not sealed tightly.
Sweeping and dusting are not effective, as they cannot rid smaller, more intrusive particles that can cause allergies in sensitive persons. Therefore, vacuuming your home is a chore that you can’t afford to miss. It should be done on a weekly basis, or even daily for high-traffic areas.
You are not cleaning your home just for appearance’s sake, but also safeguarding your family’s health as well as your own.
Here are five reasons why you should vacuum your home on a regular basis.
Firstly, one of the most common causes of allergies is dust mites. These tiny creatures reside in every home and live off human skin cells. If you have a dust allergy, the more mites in your home, the worse your symptoms are likely to be.
Regular vacuuming can remove dust mites and other allergens from carpet fibres. Vacuuming can also help to reduce their number and relieve allergies.
Aside from dust mites, regular vacuuming of your mattress and bed can reduce the chances of a bed bug infestation. These pesky little pests tend to crawl out of their hiding place at night and bite you while you are sleeping. While bed bugs are usually not dangerous, they are annoying to put up with as their bites may cause allergic reactions.
Thirdly, it’s well established that secondhand smoke can be dangerous to people’s health. The chemical residual of cigarette smoke sometimes get trapped in carpets and curtains, resulting in third-hand smoke. Not only does this leave an unpleasant odour, it will also lead to health problems.
Vacuuming your carpets regularly is one of the most important ways to get rid of lingering cigarette smoke.
If you own a dog or cat, you are probably weary of constantly removing stray hair around your house.
Pet dander (dead skin cells) and hair can also trigger allergies. This is particularly hazardous if you have children who play on the carpet.
Children often don’t wash their hands before touching their mouth, which can increase the chance of an infection.
The final reason for vacuuming is also the most obvious – maintaining your home’s cleanliness. The more often you vacuum, the easier it becomes, as you will spend less time going over the same spots trying to get rid of ground-in dirt in your carpets.
If you think you should vacuum your home regularly, now is the right time to purchase a good tool.
The new Dyson Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuum features Dyson’s most advanced digital motor – V10. It spins up to 125,000rpm, making it Dyson’s fastest digital motor. The Dyson digital motor V10’s power to weight ratio has increased over three times.
The Dyson Cyclone V10 cord-free vacuum has no loss in suction (1) with a performance that is virtually constant.
Using 14 cyclones precisely arranged around the central axis of the machine, the vacuum enables airflow inside each cyclone to travel at up to 120mph (193.1kph), generating over 79,000G, separating even microscopic dust from the air efficiently.
Then pre- and post-motor filters around the motor capture 99.97% of allergens as small as 0.3 microns – before being released as clean air as the end product.
The Dyson Cyclone V10 is now available at the Dyson Demo Store at The Gardens Mall and all major departmental and electrical stores. Alternatively, you can log on to shop.dyson.my for more details.
