A Few Benefits of a Dyson Upright Vacuum

If you are in the market for a new floor cleaner, you should know about a few benefits of a Dyson upright vacuum. It is a dirty world we live in. Even those who think they have been keeping everything spotless are surprised by what their cleaning tool leaves behind.

Dust, dirt and find particles make their way into our homes, and our lives. You may not be able to see them, but they are there and they build up in our carpets, cracks in the floors, on our furniture and curtains. Just about everywhere, these little pollutants are clogging up our lives.

They make breathing a difficult chore for those who have allergies. These pollutants get swirled up into the air and a large portion is missed by current cleaners, only to settle back down once it is put away. This one manages to attract these little disastrous particles and trap them in, so you can breath easier.

It most definitely is a must have for pet owners. Anyone with a pet can tell you how difficult it is to get the pet hair up. Whether you have hard floors or carpet, the hair has a way of shuffling about on hard floors. Once you have finished, you are shocked that the hair is still their. With carpet, the fine hairs get woven and tangled in, making it even more difficult to get it up.

Those worries go out the door with this brand. It picks up even the finest pet hairs and leaves your floors and furniture looking great. If either pet hair or allergies are causing you problems, you may want to look into something from their line. It really can make a difference.

Another benefit is that they are light weight. Nobody wants to be pushing and pulling a heavy piece of machinery around. Especially if you are older, or have any sort of back problems. You want to have a clean house without having to break your back over it. So having something lightweight is extremely important in a cleaner these days.

These are just a few benefits of the Dyson upright vacuum that may interest you if you are in the market for a new cleaner. Even if you are not, it certainly is a clean investment for your home and future. It is also an excellent gift choice to make anyone’s job a little easier.

We’ve got the ultimate inside scoop on the many benefits of a Dyson upright vacuum now in our Dyson vacuum overview on http://dysondc14review.org

What Are the Pros and Cons of the Dyson Animal Vacuum?

With a wide variety of pet hair vacuum cleaners sold in the market, having pets in the house is no longer a hassle when it comes to housecleaning. However, with a huge selection of brands to choose from, it is imperative for pet owners to analyze carefully the benefits and the drawbacks of each product.

Dyson has always been a hit in Europe for years, and it is only a few years back that it made its way in the American market. Customer reviews are diverse. Although this brand has received more praises than criticisms, it is still necessary to check on the pros and the cons of the Dyson animal vacuum before deciding on purchasing it.

Benefits:

- It has an advanced technology that efficiently and thoroughly cleans any type of floors.

- Its powerful and consistent suction works great in lifting off pet hair, dirt and dust particles on any surface such as carpets, upholstery and floors.

- Dyson is the first and only vacuum that is recognized by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. The foundation has certified Dyson as asthma and allergy friendly because of its features.

- The hepa filtration system traps in allergens, pollens and pet dander. Prevention of allergy symptoms and asthma attacks is possible because of the good quality of air indoors.

- The accessory tools and telescope reach wand help clean thoroughly the stairs, upholstery and other hard-to-reach areas in the house and even the car.

- The transparent collection cup allows you to check easily if it is already full and needs emptying.

- There is no clogging issue because this animal vacuum cleaner is bagless.

- It is easy to empty the contents in the collection cup. In some models, all you need to do is to press the button or pull the trigger to release dirt into the trash bin.

- It comes with a carpet care kit such as a carpet cleaning powder and carpet spray for cleaning spills and stains.

- It has a five-year warranty (some models of Dyson animal vacuum has a two -year household warranty).

Drawbacks:

- This upright animal vacuum is quite heavy even if it is made of plastic. Thus, it can be a bit difficult to manoeuvre, particularly when cleaning the carpet.

- Most product users complain about the not-so-sturdy exterior of Dyson animal vacuum. It is made of plastic (like a few other brands of vacuum cleaner) and has a possibility to crack easily.

- It does not have a self-propelling mechanism that can be quite a burden, coupled by the weight of this vacuum cleaner.

Last Word on Dyson Animal Cleaner

Indeed, there is no such thing as a perfect appliance. There will always be benefits and drawbacks in any product, and it is up to the consumer to consider these items. Customer reviews may be of help in the decision process, but it is always a smart move to study all aspects and facets of a product before buying it to avoid any regrets.

How to Clean a Fabric Lampshade

How to Clean a Fabric Lampshade


How to Clean a Fabric Lampshade

Posted: 01 Jun 2011 05:40 PM PDT

Lampshades can get quite dirty and dusty and eventually they become a bit of an eye-sore if you don’t dust them regularly. Eventually it’s a case of get them clean (and save money) or replace them.

The process below works best for silk, rayon or nylon shades. Linen, cotton and any hand painted shades don’t take well to being dipped in water – but then what have you got to lose if your lamp shades are now past their best? You may as well give it a try before you give up and buy new.

If you have an antique or valuable lampshade however then don’t try to clean it yourself – you need a specialist cleaner for this. Some dry cleaners may be able to assist you though I must admit my local dry cleaner is reluctant to take anything without a care label so you may have to search for a real expert.

To clean a fabric lampshade yourself

  1. Remove the shade from the lamp then use a dry cloth or vacuum brush to clean the surface of the lamp shade inside and out of any dust.
  2. Remove the trim from the lampshade if this is not be washable or if the color may run into the shade itself and wash separately (if it is washable).
  3. Fill a sink or bathtub with warm water deep enough to submerge the lamp shade completely. Add some mild detergent – the kind used to hand wash delicate silk and woolen garments is best.
  4. Submerge the lampshade in the warm soapy water and use a soft cloth or brush and some extra soap to gently run any particularly dirty areas or dirt spots.
  5. Gently swish the lampshade up and down through the soapy water
  6. Empty out the soapy water and refill the basin with clean warm water. Rinse the shade
  7. If the shade is particularly dirty repeat steps 4 and 5
  8. Leave the shade to dry naturally where air can circulate to prevent rusting of the frame. Although the fabric may appear to stretch when wet it will usually tighten up and return to its original state (though cleaner!) as it dries.
  9. Reattach the old trim with a few stitches around the lamp or by gluing in place with non-flammable glue. If the old trim is detracting from the splendor of your now-clean lamp shade think about re-trimming your lamp with ribbon, braid, beads or fringing.
  10. I have seen a household tip once where someone cleaned a lampshade with a piece of soft white bread – rolling the bread into a doughy ball and then running it over the surface of the shade. I haven’t tried this myself so though I can imagine it being reasonably effective you may want to try it on a lamp shade that doesn’t matter to you. Or if the dirt is not too ingrained try a lint roller which is great on dust.

Most families either have children or pets, so their home needs to have a quality vacuum to keep up with the various whirlwinds of dirt and hair. I thought it would be good to share my experience of how the Dyson DC25 works, as it can be hard to find a vacuum that stands up to time. I also wanted to see how it compared to other vacuums, and if my experience was accurate to other people’s opinions.

It’s nice to have an upright in the house, as it’s handy and easy to pull out. You can take care of cleanups quickly, without the hassle of getting the heavy vacuum out of the closet. If you’re a house with pets, then it’s nice to have the Dyson DC25 to grab. It’s not heavy, and it won’t cause any body strain. You can pull it out at any time or several times a day, and it will clean up after your pet so there’s no accumulation. Then there are no worries of allergies from the hair.

Be careful to not be fooled by the Dyson DC25, and its light weight, especially when you see its strength and power. The vacuum will use its power to suck up anything in its path, making it easy to haul around and up the stairs. Heavy vacuums are more difficult to lug around. The Dyson DC25 makes cleaning easy because it’s portable and easy to use.

When you find a vacuum that will take care of your home, then you need to grab it. The Dyson DC25 is going to provide you with sucking power to handle the dirt and pet hair that comes in your life. It will make your world easier because you’ll be keeping it clean and it will handle the competition.

Cleaning Procedures of Gold Picture Frames

Cleaning Procedures of Gold Picture Frames


Cleaning Procedures of Gold Picture Frames

Posted: 27 May 2011 02:20 AM PDT

Gold picture frames define the meaning of sophistication and elegance. Since ages, there has been a craze for using the gold frames, which enhance the beauty of the photo to be framed in it. The market is inundated with frames, which differ in variety, but nothing stands in comparison to the look and exuberance of the golden looking frames. But these should be maintained properly to ensure that the texture of the gold look can retain the shining quality.

Know the ways of keeping Gold Frame Clean

Gold type of frames should be preserved to utmost care to maintain its timeless beauty. A gold frame enhances the elegance of your room décor and a few other most selected items will only complement the golden beauty. You will find such kinds of frames appear in varieties and this includes brass frames, golden leaf frames, antique golden looking frames, ornate frames with the golden shine and much more.

To ensure that the frames are maintained clean you need to find the broken areas, which should be healed first. The gaping looks will ruin the whole beauty. Fill in with silicon epoxy and what you can do is mold the shape of the silicon in your desired shape. But before you mount it on the wall, make sure that the silicon is left to dry for a stretch of 45 minutes.

Take a toothpick and with the pointed end you can etch out a design you want. The best thing is the silicon is a little wet and so you can have the most complicated design. Once it gets dry the frame will look its best.

You should rub the frame everyday with a moist cotton ball to clean off the dust. The best thing is that the soaked cotton swab will suck in any dirt quickly and make the frame look instantly shining. You should make this a habit everyday so as to ensure that the frame looks bright.

The actual framework of the frames is made by giving a plastic molding on the wooden framework. Now, plaster has a tendency to tear out. Therefore, you should keep a watch of the damages and ensure that the frame is rightly plastered. Once you feel that the golden look is trying to fade, spray varnish and paint it with golden color. The choice is yours whether you want a glossy paint or a matte finish. Both will protect the frame and will exude the vibrant look.

You must be thinking of what to do exactly with those areas of the frames which look like large blotches of plaster. You can paint the golden color or can also conceal the damage with varnish spray. The golden leaf can conceal the area craftily and this will give a new look.

Hence, give the gold look a shining edge to enhance the look of the room.

For more information on gold frames, check out the info available online; these will help you learn to find the gold picture frames!

Mini Vacuum Cleaners – Choosing the Best Mini Vacuum Cleaner

Mini Vacuum Cleaners – Choosing the Best Mini Vacuum Cleaner


Mini Vacuum Cleaners – Choosing the Best Mini Vacuum Cleaner

Posted: 25 May 2011 12:40 PM PDT

The best mini vacuum cleaners all have one thing in common – they work extremely well for their intended purpose. People have different ideas of what a mini vacuum cleaner is. Some picture it the size of a dust-buster, others define mini vacuum cleaners as much smaller. Below is a list of the features to look at when choosing one that works for your needs.

1) Size. What are you looking to clean? The size of the mini vacuum can be broken down into three categories. First, a car vacuum cleaner is the biggest of the minis. Second would be the traditional dust-buster type hand-held vacuum cleaner. Last, would be a USB vacuum cleaner meant to clean your computer and the areas of the workspace.

2) Power source. Some run on batteries, some run off electricity. Others, like the USB vacuum plug into your computer and run completely off of the power it provides. Depending on what type of power source you purchase, the amount of suction created by the vacuum will vary. A cordless unit will not be as powerful as a 4 amp electrical. Determine how much power you need, and how much of a priority convenience is for your intended usage, and you will be better able to choose.

3) Filter. The filtering systems of mini vacuum cleaners are not as good as the larger units. However, some minis contain excellent filters, (some even have HEPA filters). If removing allergens, dust mites and other elements from the air is important to you, choose a unit with a filter that can meet your needs.
