Vacuum Buying Guide: How to Choose the Best Vacuum For Carpet
Commercial carpeting is popular in many facilities because of its ability to hide dirt and soils. Unfortunately, this same quality makes carpet hard to clean, unless you have the right commercial vacuum cleaner.
每个商业真空都具有独特的能力，可以应对不同的表面清洁挑战。与清洁硬地板的真空吸尘器相比，最深层清洁商业地毯的最佳真空将需要不同的功能。
How do you choose the best vacuum cleaner for carpets?
有7 key factors that you should evaluate your vacuum against.
在下面，我们将在寻找地毯上最佳的真空吸尘器时查看您应该寻找的内容。
1. Vacuum Type
The first step in narrowing down the bestcommercial vacuum正在识别正确的类型。有five types of commercial vacuum cleaners:
- 手持式Duster真空吸尘器
- 罐子真空吸尘器
- 直立的真空吸尘器
- 背包真空吸尘器
- Wet/Dry Vacuum Cleaners
While canister vacuums are generally accepted for daily vacuuming of carpeted floors, we find backpack and upright vacuums most effective for cleaning carpets.
罐子通常有长软管和笨重的身体，很容易妨碍您。与罐子不同，背包真空吸尘器可让您随身携带真空吸尘器，从而消除了将家具撞倒的风险。背包真空是最有生产力的。与直立模型相比backpack vacuums can boost productivity by as much as 230%.
直立的真空吸尘器可在地毯上清除最强的污垢。在许多情况下，它们有一个刷卷，可以深入地毯堆中以帮助提取污垢。
选择直立时，您需要选择具有适当的清洁能力和强度的设施。
Cleaning capacityrefers to the cleaning path and filter bag size, while strength will be determined by the真空的静态升降机和气流,all of which we will get into later.
2.电源
Like most industrial cleaning equipment, vacuums can be either battery operated or electric.
电池供电或无绳真空吸尘器将为您的清洁团队提供最大的生产力。
这是因为您的清洁人员不必担心管理电线。无绳机器赋予操作员运动自由。
They are free to move beyond the length of a typical cord, and they do not have to stay within reach of an outlet at all times.
3.清洁能力
真空吸尘器的最常见尺寸清洁路径为14英寸，但对于较大的区域，有真空吸尘器的路径高达28英寸。
We recommend choosing a vacuum based on the size of the area you are cleaning. However, you must take into consideration what obstacles are in the area.
Trying to vacuum an open area that is 10,000 square feet will require a different vacuum than the same size area that is filled with desks or other furniture. Meaning, using a large upright with a 28 inch cleaning path might seem like it will cover more space in a shorter amount of time because of its size, but if you are trying to use this machine in a dense area it will actually be less productive. Your staff will likely struggle to maneuver the machine in the area and spend more time adjusting tables or furniture to avoid damage.
For areas with a lot of furniture or objects, a vacuum with a smaller cleaning path will actually be more efficient. With this in mind, you may require more than one commercial vacuum for your building.
可以购买带有不同过滤袋尺寸的真空吸尘器。但是，类似于真空的清洁路径，有多种可用尺寸。
例如，Proteam Super Coach Pro可以使用6夸脱或10夸脱纸滤袋购买。
v越大acuum’s filter bag the more your staff will be able to vacuum before having to stop and empty the bag. Decreasing the number of times your staff have to empty the filter bag allows them to cover more area during a shift. This ultimately boosts cleaning productivity so your staff can complete other higher priority cleaning tasks, helping to lower labor costs.
4. Brush Type
地毯地板上最好的真空头或刷类型将取决于您感兴趣的真空类型。如上所述，我们建议地毯的直立或背包型号。
If you are interested in an upright vacuum, look for a machine that has a brush roller.
刷子有时称为搅拌器。
刷子滚筒上的刷毛僵硬，设计用于搅动和松开污垢，使真空更容易从地毯纤维内部的深处捡起土壤。
If you have carpet pile of different heights, it will be important to look for a vacuum that has an adjustable beater bar.
更高级的机器将配备一个刷子辊，该辊将自动调整到地板的高度。
有no beater bars on backpack vacuums. To achieve a similar level of clean with backpack vacuum, you must choose a model that has high air flow and strong lift to ensure they are removing as much soil as possible. Backpack vacuums require more lift to pull dirt from the carpet because they do not have the agitation a beater bar provides to extract dirt from the carpet pile.
To determine the level of soil which your vacuum removes look for third-party certifications which test the vacuum against soil removal standards. One of the most common third-party certification programs is the Carpet and Rug Institute® (CRI).
CRI®将真空度分为三个层次：青铜，银色或黄金的能力。黄金是最高水平，可确保去除最大的土壤。
5.专业附件
Many facilities use their vacuum to clean more than just carpets. You may need to tackle other soft surfaces such as drapes, furniture, or high dusting.
If this is the case, it might make sense to look for a commercial vacuum that either comes with, or can be paired with specialized attachments for these unique surfaces.
否则，您可能需要购买额外的真空吸尘器，例如手持式Duster或类似的清洁机。
With the ability to pair your machine with unique attachments, your cleaning team won't have to switch between multiple machines. Your staff can enjoy improved productivity by allowing them the flexibility to quickly and easily vacuum these hard-to-reach or unique soft surfaces.
6. Static Lift and Air Flow
真空使用吸气，这是气流和静态升降机的组合，从地毯上去除土壤。为了有效地从地毯上清除土壤，您的真空将需要平衡的静态升降机和空气流动。
What is static lift and air flow?
静态升降机和气流一起工作。Static lift removes the soil from the surface and airflow helps the dirt and debris travel down the vacuum hose to the filter bag.Static lift测量真空可以从表面拉出的强度或多少土壤。静态升降机越高，污垢越多，真空吸尘器将能够去除。静态升降机通常在60到100英寸之间。
Airflowis the amount of air the vacuum moves through the hose per minute. This feature is what moves the dirt and soils through the vacuum hose to the filter bag.气流通常在95至150 cfm之间。
7. Filtration System
从地毯上去除颗粒时，您会拔出灰尘，沙屑和其他土壤，如果在空气中留下，可能会导致室内空气质量较差（IAQ）。
The right filtration system can help limit the amount of soils left lingering or released back into the air.
我们建议配备配备的商业真空HEPA过滤器或等效过滤系统。
HEPA（高效率颗粒空气）过滤器能够将99.97％的颗粒捕获为0.3微米或更大的颗粒。HEPA过滤器可防止污染物和其他杂质被释放回气流。
Lowering the amount of impurities in the air will improve indoor air quality (IAQ).
最后的想法
Keeping your carpets clean is important to maintaining the appearance of your facility, extending the life of your commercial carpet, and preserving the health of your building occupants.
We recommend the use of either a backpack or uprightvacuumon commercial carpeted flooring.
Uprights typically have brush rollers which can help remove soils from deep in the carpet fibers. If you opt for a backpack vacuum, make sure it has high lift and airflow to make up for the lack of agitation provided by the beater bar.
It will be important to look for avacuum with good static lift and air flow as well as HEPA filtration to limit the amount of particles that can escape the vacuum. Limiting pathogens and particles in the air will improve IAQ which is key to providing your building occupants with a safe and healthy environment.
直立和背包真空都可以与专门的附件配对，使其具有多功能性，因此您的员工可以完成更多的工作。
EBP and other Imperial Dade locations offer a variety of commercial vacuums that can be used to remove dirt from your commercial floors and improve your facility image.
