The importance of the Vacuum Cleaner?

The Health Benefits of Regular Vacuuming: Why SEBO Bagged Models Are Our Choice for Cleaner, Healthier Homes


At Spruced Up, we understand that a clean home isn’t just about appearances; it’s also a matter of health. Regular vacuuming is one of the simplest and most effective ways to improve indoor air quality, reduce allergens, and maintain a healthier living environment. In this post, we’ll look at the health benefits of consistent vacuuming, and why we rely on SEBO bagged vacuum models to ensure the highest level of cleanliness before hot water extraction (HWE).

Before we do anything else we Vacuum.


1. Reducing Allergens for a Healthier Home


One of the main benefits of regular vacuuming is its ability to remove allergens like dust mites, pet dander, and pollen. According to Asthma UK, dust mites are one of the most common triggers for asthma attacks, as well as other respiratory issues. “Dust mites thrive in soft furnishings, such as carpets and upholstery, so regular vacuuming is essential to help manage exposure,” the charity advises.


The British Lung Foundation echoes this, noting that indoor allergens can lead to respiratory irritation, especially in people with allergies or asthma. Frequent vacuuming—especially with models equipped with high-efficiency filters—removes these particles from the environment, reducing potential triggers and improving overall air quality.


2. Improved Indoor Air Quality


Vacuuming regularly with a high-filtration vacuum, such as a SEBO bagged model, can significantly improve the air quality in your home. The filtration system in SEBO vacuums, which includes S-Class filters that meet HEPA standards, is designed to capture even the finest dust particles. This means that allergens and other particles that would otherwise recirculate into the air are securely trapped within the vacuum bag.


The British Lung Foundation emphasizes that poor indoor air quality, often from accumulated dust and other particulates, can exacerbate respiratory issues and contribute to “sick building syndrome,” where occupants experience symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and eye irritation.


3. Reducing the Spread of Bacteria and Mould


Vacuuming helps control the buildup of harmful bacteria and mould spores, especially in areas with high humidity. Carpets and soft furnishings can easily trap moisture, creating a perfect environment for these microorganisms. Vacuuming, particularly before a deep cleaning treatment like hot water extraction, helps reduce bacterial presence and prevent the development of mould, which can release harmful spores into the air.


Why SEBO Bagged Models Are Our Preferred Choice


At Spruced Up, we favour SEBO bagged vacuum cleaners for several reasons:


Superior Filtration: SEBO’s S-Class filtration, equivalent to HEPA standards, captures allergens and fine dust particles, essential for reducing airborne allergens in clients’ homes.

Hygienic Bag Disposal: Bagged vacuums allow for easy and hygienic disposal of collected dust and allergens, making it less likely for particles to escape back into the air. SEBO bags are designed to seal automatically, further reducing any risk of allergen exposure.

Durability and Efficiency: SEBO vacuums are built for durability and high performance. They’re known for robust construction and efficient suction, even on thicker carpets and high-traffic areas, ensuring a deep clean every time.

Preparing for HWE (Hot Water Extraction): As a prelude to hot water extraction, SEBO vacuums do an exceptional job at removing dry soil and particulate matter. Good Housekeeping highlights the importance of high-efficiency vacuuming before deep cleaning, as removing loose dirt allows the hot water extraction to focus on deeper soil, achieving a truly refreshed carpet.


How Regular Vacuuming Fits Into a Healthy Home Routine


By including vacuuming as part of a regular cleaning routine, homeowners can effectively reduce allergen loads, improve air quality, and protect against respiratory irritants. In homes with pets, children, or anyone with allergies or asthma, frequent vacuuming is essential for creating a comfortable and safe indoor environment. For best results, vacuum high-traffic areas at least twice a week and consider adding deep cleaning treatments, such as HWE, periodically to maintain a thoroughly clean home.


In summary, regular vacuuming plays a crucial role in promoting a healthy indoor environment. With SEBO bagged vacuums, we’re committed to delivering a professional-level clean that goes beyond the surface, ensuring our clients breathe easier in homes that feel as good as they look.
