Vacuum Features:

When choosing a vacuum of any type, check to see which additional features are available for your model. Below we list some additional features that can improve the quality of the machine, increase worker productivity, and provide a better cleaning outcome.

CRI Seal of Approval

当为商业设施选择真空时,您应该寻找地毯和地毯研究所(CRI)密封型exporprop®。

CRI certified machines have been independently tested and proven to ensure the effectiveness and environmental safety of the machine. CRI evaluates the performance of vacuums based on soil removal, dust containment, and surface appearance change.

Selecting a machine that is high performing and safe for the environment will ultimately benefit occupant health and your business’ bottom line.

HEPA Filter

HEPA FilterHigh-Efficiency Particulate Air or HEPA filters陷阱99.97%的所有机载颗粒大于3微米。HEPA过滤器包含,不会再循环小颗粒,例如灰尘和剥皮,这可能导致占用者的健康问题。

Sound Level

The sound level of a vacuum is important if your facility requires maintenance during regular business hours.

A decibel output between 57-62 dBA is considered low and can be operated during the day without disturbing building occupants.

Attachments

Depending on the model type and brand, various attachments are available. Attachment tools make it easier to complete cleaning tasks with the same commercial vacuum.

Some attachments include hose extensions, crevice tools, and upholstery tools.

Power Source

Vacuums are either battery operated or cord-electric. Determining whether you should choose a cord-electric or battery-operated vacuum is ultimately your choice, but each can be effective if used properly.

Battery Operated (Cordless)

Cordless vacuums offer exceptional maneuverability and efficiency as a result of not having to plug and unplug the machine.Cordless backpack vacuums can increase efficiencies by saving approximately 1-1.5 hours per 4 hour vacuum shift.

Cordless vacuums can also reduce the risk of workplace trips and falls.

At the time of this writing, the average battery-life for a commercial cordless vacuum is about 1 hour.黄色的线

Cordless vacuums are typically more expensive than corded vacuums but will provide increased time and labor savings.

电线电线

Corded vacuums can offer longer cleaning times and increased power when compared to a battery operated machine.

专家提示:To increase productivity with a corded vacuum, determine the best vacuuming path for the area before beginning. A clear path will reduce cleaning time and promote efficiency. The best route will minimize the number of times you have to move the power cord to a new outlet.

Reducing the number of times you have to plug and unplug a power cord lowers the risk of equipment, furniture or fixture damage. Failing to properly move cords may also cause the operator to run over the cord, causing damage to cords.


Final Thoughts

Whether you are spot cleaning or removing slurry from a wet-mopping procedure, selecting the best vacuum will make your job easier and help you produce better results.

Understanding which vacuum (or vacuums) is the best option for the area and soil you are dealing with can be challenging.
