If you’re looking for a Dyson 24, you want it for the best price, and you want your purchase to go smoothly. This great asthma-friendly vacuum can be a great asset to your household, and you can save money and heartache if you know who to buy from online.

Asthma Friendly Cleaning

This is especially good if you have children and want to create a better home environment for them. This machine will make your whole house cleaner, not just your floors.

Shopping for Home Appliances Online Can Be Dangerous

Let’s face it, shopping online can be very dangerous. Some stores you may visit are shady and unclear on their policies, making returns difficult. Some don’t offer secure transactions, so your credit card information may not be safe.

Make sure you do business with a reputable store and read their terms prior to buying. If you don’t feel comfortable or you’ve never heard of the dealer before, it may be a good idea to move on to the next store.

Finding a Reliable Store Online

A good way to find a store is to check out what people are saying on forums. Hearing what other users have to say about different stores’ reputation and prices can certainly help you make a decision on where to buy.

But be careful. The information provided may be out of date. Also, you don’t really know who is making those posts, so are they really reliable?

A great alternative is to visit the Dyson 24 Blog post, where they have some great deals listed from the most reputable merchants.

Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner

Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner


Tips On How To Maintain A Smell-Free Vacuum Cleaner

Posted: 27 Apr 2011 04:40 PM PDT

Are you constantly plagued with a smelly vacuum cleaner? It is actually normal for a cleaner to stink. After all, it is used to pick up dirt, bacteria and other unnameable micro organisms.

Maintaining your vacuum cleaner is a constant process. You would want to regularly check the parts if they are working properly. However, if you want to keep it fresh-smelling all the time, here the tips that will prove useful to you:

1. Clean the attachments

Fill up a bucket with warm water and add a cup or two of Lysol. Soak the attachments of your cleaner for about 15 minutes. They should be disinfected in no time. After the allotted time, remove the attachments and let them dry properly.

2. Clean the brush roll

Many people complain that their vacuum machine smells like their dog. If you have pets at home and you use this cleaning machine to pick up pet dander, it will surely stink like your pet. Try cleaning the brush roll. Remove collected pet hair. Remove the brush roll from the machine and soak it in soapy water. Use a soft-bristled brush to get rid of stubborn hair. Let it dry completely before installing it back to your cleaning machine.

3. Avoid picking up spilled liquid and food

They can turn rancid in your fridge. You would always want to pick up dry dirt. Wipe the floor first with damp cloth to get rid of the spill. After doing so, wipe it again with dry cloth. Resume vacuuming the floor to remove collected dirt particles.

4. Don’t forget to discard dirt in the bag

If you are using a bagless cleaner, it should be no trouble to dispose the bag. But if you are using a bagged vacuum cleaner, you should take responsibility in remembering when to dispose the contents of the dirt receptacle. Some people store their cleaner in the attic or in the garage and they just remember to remove the contents of the dirt receptacle when it is already starting to smell funny. When this happens, remove the remaining dirt and clean the receptacle.

5. Use home-made vacuum fresheners

To freshen up your smelly machine, try using fabric conditioner sheets. Crumple it and throw it inside the bag or the dirt receptacle. You can also soak a piece of wax paper in lavender essential oil. Let it soak for about 15 minutes. Hang it up to dry. Place the scented wax paper in the filter compartment of the machine.

Anti-Allergy Mattress Covers

Posted: 26 Apr 2011 09:40 AM PDT

For some reason that is not yet entirely understood, there are more people suffering from allergies now than ever before. Some scientists hypothesize that the reason for this growth in sufferers from allergies is the raised pollution in the air we breathe and the raised use of additives in the processed foods we eat. However, there could be another reason too.

Our houses are better heated than ever before and are virtually hermetically sealed. This permits insects and especially mites to live with us in bigger numbers and for longer than ever before. It is feasible that we, all human beings, have become sensitivized by the huge number of mites living with us. The dust mite is the worst culprit. Fleas, their feces and their eggs are second, followed by other creatures such as bed bugs and their feces.

So allergy sufferers are now getting problems from pollen and pollution while they go outside the house and from dust mites and other insects if they stay in. So, what can allergy sufferers do about it?

There are a number of things to test out. Some are expensive and others are practically cost-free. An air conditioning system with an anti-allergy filter is the costly option but it will help against airborne dust and bug feces kicked up by dusting, brushing and vacuuming.

A bagless vacuum cleaner like the Dyson will also help collect these flying allergens or a wet-and-dry vacuum cleaner will help you wash the crap out of your carpets as well without kicking it up into the air.

Carpets are a major source of allergens and so are pets, but an unforeseen source of grief for many people is their bed. Again it is the dust mites which are the main culprits. They like to live in your bed and eat the dead skin that has dropped off you.

There is nothing you can do about shedding skin, we all do it and we all have to do it and you will never stop all dust mites. The aim is to hold their numbers under control.

A fairly inexpensive way of doing this is by fitting an anti-allergy cover to your mattress. An anti-allergy mattress cover is a finely-woven sheet that fits over the mattress. This sheet is so finely woven that insects, bugs and mites cannot get through it from the mattress to get to you.

Now this does not stop dust mites breeding on top of it, so for it to be effectual, you have to wash it every week as you do the rest of your bedding, but at least it is easier than sanitizing the mattress, which most people do not do from one year to the next, which is why the dust mites can increase to outrageous numbers giving an increase in problems for allergy sufferers.

Therefore, if you think that an anti-allergy mattress cover will help you, you should purchase two so that you can have one on the bed and one in the laundry.

Vacuum Cleaners Ratings – Consumer Reports is Reliable

Vacuum Cleaners Ratings – Consumer Reports is Reliable


Vacuum Cleaners Ratings – Consumer Reports is Reliable

Posted: 21 Apr 2011 09:40 PM PDT

The vacuum cleaners ratings can be broken down into best buy for the money and lightweight, top of the line, and robotic.

The best bang for your buck from a dependable manufacturer is the Hoover Tempo Widepath U5140-900. This upright vacuum only weighs 16 pounds which makes it easy to push and maneuver. It can do its job on both hard wood floors and carpeting, all for only around $75. The only mentioned drawback is the 25 foot cord which does limit the area of cleaning slightly.

The top of the line is a Dyson DC25. This, like all Dyson vacuums, always performs excellently. This bagless upright never loses suction. The hinge is a ball that many consumers find easier to maneuver than other styles. This model is light-weight, only weighing 16 pounds. This vacuum works great on carpeting, and by disabling the brush, cleans bare floors without a dust cloud. All Dyson vacuums come with a 5 year warranty which is rarely needed because of the quality construction. The down side is the price at $500 or more makes this an investment of capital.

If you are tired of pushing around a vacuum, then the iRobot Roomba 560 is for you. This saucer-shaped device scours the floors constantly looking for material to pick up including pet hair. The only instruction this vacuum needs is to be turned on. When it needs to be recharged, it returns to its docking station. When the bag is full it stops, other than for those two instances, it is always on the prowl for dirt.

These vacuum cleaners ratings can assist you when it comes time to choose your next cleaning device.

There are so many choices out there when it come to selecting a great vacuum cleaner. Many people just buy vacuum cleaners without knowing the first thing about them, and end up paying way to much. Don’t make a mistake and invest in the wrong vacuum cleaner for your family. Find the best type of vacuum on the internet at http://www.bestvacuumdeal.com.

Dyson DC28 Animal – The Best Pet Hair Vacuum?

Dyson DC28 Animal – The Best Pet Hair Vacuum?


Dyson DC28 Animal – The Best Pet Hair Vacuum?

Posted: 20 Apr 2011 10:40 AM PDT

The Dyson DC28 is a bagless vacuum designed for households with pets and consumers generally agree that it does indeed do a very good job at picking up pet hair. It comes with all the typical Dyson features such as no loss of suction over time, washable filters, bagless design and a 5 year warranty. If there is any issue with this machine it might be the weight. It is not a lightweight upright and some consumers feel the weight can make it a little unwieldy.

The vacuum is powered by a 12 amp motor producing 245 air watts of suction and it uses Root Cyclone technology. Root Cyclone technology, according to Dyson, provides constant suction (does not drop over time) and it also eliminates clogging. In addition, it limits exposure of the filters to debris thereby keeping them cleaner longer. The filters on this machine are washable and reusable.

The DC28 Animal comes with HEPA level filtration and the vacuum is certified asthma and allergy friendly by the Asthma and Allergy Foundation of America. HEPA is a high level of filtration that removes very small particles from the airflow (99.97% of all particles 0.3 microns or larger). This generally eliminates the likes of pollen, dust mites, pet dander, etc. and HEPA filtration is an often sought after feature in vacuum cleaners today.

An interesting feature on the DC28 is the Airmuscle technology. This uses a pneumatic actuator to pull the vacuum head deeper into carpet as well as a cam and a clutch to optimize brushbar performance. This is said to enable the system to better remove dirt and hair from dirty carpets. Many owners indicate that this technology is quite effective and is not a gimmick. Indeed consumer comments regarding this machine’s ability to remove pet hair from carpet are mostly very encouraging. Some owners indicated that they had used the DC28 to go over areas of carpet just cleaned with their old vacuum and the amount of pet hair and debris it picked up was nothing short of astonishing. Establishing the DC28 as the best pet hair vacuum is open to discussion but it is clearly a contender.

This Dyson comes with a wide range of attachments including a stair tool, a combo dusting-brush/crevice-tool, a mini turbine head and a flat out head. The mini turbine head attaches to the hose or the wand and is good for removing pet hair and other dirt from upholstery, stairs or automobile interiors. The flat out head is a special low profile vacuum head for getting under low furniture. A telescopic wand also comes with the DC28 and extends a full 16 feet. The unit contains on-board tool storage as well.

Other vacuum cleaner features include a large 5/8 gallon clear-plastic dirt canister, a lengthy 35.2 foot power cord, and a motorized brushbar that can be started or stopped via fingertip controls. The Dyson DC28 has a 13.5 inch cleaning path so a fair area is covered with each pass. It should also be noted that this is a fixed wheel vacuum cleaner and it does not use Dyson’s famous ball means of movement.

Consumers indicate they are pleased with many aspects of the DC28 Animal including its very long power cord, range of useful attachments, washable filters and powerful suction. They also like its effectiveness on both carpet and hard surfaces and, possibly most of all, its ability to pull up pet hair. A large percent of consumer comments allude to the DC28’s exceptional ability to clean pet hair from carpeted areas.

However it should be noted that some owners express displeasure with the vacuum due to its weight which is slightly over 20 lbs. Others find the wand awkward to use and the vacuum, while good, to be quite expensive. Typical retail pricing for the Dyson DC28 Animal ranges between about $500 and $600 and it carries a 5 year parts and labor warranty.

The DC28 is clearly very good for households with pets and if one can afford it, it is likely one of the best pet hair vacuums on the market today. However there are less expensive yet still capable pet hair vacuums available as well.

Proper Care of Furniture to Lessen the Expenses at Home

Proper Care of Furniture to Lessen the Expenses at Home


Proper Care of Furniture to Lessen the Expenses at Home

Posted: 16 Apr 2011 09:01 PM PDT

Furniture can be considered an expensive investment at home. Hence, it needs proper care and maintenance so it can serve you for a long period of time and still look at its very best. Having good quality furniture such as leather furniture adds class and elegance to the home. It can be expensive though in purchasing this type of furniture but if taken care of properly, it can last a lifetime.

Taking care of leather furniture is relatively easy. The following are effective ways to achieve this, so you can make most out of your leather furniture:

1. Regularly clean the furniture. This means including it in your cleaning routine. It can be done by removing the dust regularly. Dust and grime settling onto the furniture for a long period of time would create blemishes on it. A few minutes of dusting on a daily or weekly basis will keep the furniture looking as new.

2. Avoid stains from settling in deep into the furniture. Accidents are inevitable at home, especially homes with children and pets. You might accidentally spill liquids onto the furniture which creates stains to it. You can prevent stains by acting fast. Immediately clean the area on the furniture where the spill is. The faster you clean the area, the easier it will be to remove and the least likely it will develop stains.

3. Another way to care and protect the furniture is to do a thorough regular cleaning. Do it on a routine basis such as three or four times a year. Use leather cleaner products to thoroughly clean the furniture and follow it up with a leather conditioner. Routine cleaning preserves the appearance of the furniture and lengthens its life.

4. Place the furniture in a well ventilated area at home. It’s an essential way to maintain its natural moisture. Humidity and moisture also are factors that cause easy damage of the furniture. Never expose the furniture directly into the sunlight. Constant exposure from the heat of the sunlight is not good for the furniture.

Having leather furniture is a luxurious experience that not everyone can enjoy. Just like any other things at home, proper care and maintenance must be exercised. It won’t take you too much time and cost. By doing this you can maintain the good as new appearance and lessen the expenses at home of purchasing a new one.

The Dyson upright vacuum has gained popularity in recent years thanks to its advanced technology and maneuverability. These vacuums utilize what Dyson calls Root Cyclone technology. This is reported to be more efficient at capturing microscopic dust and particles than other vacuums available on the market.

Cyclonic Vacuums Have Superior Suction

Cyclonic Vacuums Have Superior Suction


Cyclonic Vacuums Have Superior Suction

Posted: 14 Apr 2011 04:40 AM PDT

Vacuums have been around for a long time. Cyclone vacuums are a relatively new concept that came out in the 1980s and didn’t really get big until the 1990s.

Dyson Vacuums

James Dyson created the original Cyclone Vacuum. It took him many years of struggle to get the vacuum patented and into production.

In the early days, Dyson sought an investor for his product. Unfortunately, the people he sought help from were just using him to get information. One of the companies was Amway Corporation. Today, after getting sued by Dyson, Amway has a vacuum that uses the same patented technology as the Dyson. They have a financial agreement of sorts.

Other competitors

Many vacuum companies were losing sales to Dyson. Since cyclone vacuums were all the rage, they came up with cyclonic vacuums. They are basically knock off vacuums of the Dyson model. They aren’t the same as the Dyson model because they do not have rights to the patented technology. Only Dyson and Amway are able to use the patented technology. Are cyclonic vacuums as good as cyclone vacuums?

Probably Not

Billionaire, James Dyson, spent years perfecting his technology. It’s not likely that the knock off brands are as good. They are, however, cheaper; and sometimes a lot cheaper. You should take a look at the warranties. Dyson offers a full five year warranty. Other cyclonic vacuum companies typically offer a one year warranty. Why? Believe it or not, most vacuums don’t last much longer than a year; especially if you vacuum every day.

Shopping : Worst Case

Cyclone vacuums are so popular that even non cyclonic vacuums appear to be cyclonic. They all look the same. You can’t even find a bagged vacuum anymore. They all use a canister system. The canister system makes them look cyclonic even though some are not. So, caveat emptor. To be safe, buy a Dyson.

A Review of Popular Vacuum Cleaner Products

A Review of Popular Vacuum Cleaner Products


A Review of Popular Vacuum Cleaner Products

Posted: 10 Apr 2011 09:20 PM PDT

There are dozens of vacuum cleaner manufacturers producing hundreds of different types and styles of machines around the world. Cheap, lightweight machines coming out of China and Japan, to the efficient but unwieldy German types and the multi-functional machines coming from American manufacturers, there are a lot of choices on the market today. Determining which brand or which model might be called the best vacuum cleaners in the world depends on what the consumer is looking for.

One of the popular brands is Miele. With over 100 years of experience producing high quality machines, Miele consistently delivers outstanding results. The Miele vacuum is the world’s first-ever certified vacuum cleaner due to the unequalled capture and retention of dust particles that their design produces. Their machines provide years of consistent, trouble-free performance even under conditions that would make lesser machines break down.

Known for making a dependable, powerful and yet lightweight line of different vacuum cleaners, Eureka has turned itself into one of the largest manufacturers in the world. Owned since the 1960’s by Electrolux, the combined company claims 25% of the market for home appliances around the world.

Hoover, originally an English company, has marketed its name to such a high degree that the word “hoover” has become synonymous with vacuum cleaner much the same way that “Xerox” has become synonymous with copy machines in America. Known for its lightweight and powerful models that housewives have grown to love, their reliability and dependability has become legendary. For a lot of people, Hoover is their vacuum cleaner forever.

Another English company with a well-respected line of vacuum cleaners and a good market share in America, Dyson has been around for a long time. Known lately for “the ball,” which is making other manufacturers rethink their design strategies, Dyson is known for pushing the envelope on design features that make life easier for anyone who has to vacuum anything. “The ball” is a rubberized motor cover on an upright vacuum that allows the entire sucking apparatus to turn and pivot with much less effort than other uprights. Pretty soon, if Dyson has their way, you’ll be seeing ads for other brands using some altered version of “the ball” on their new models.

A 65-year old company, Rainbow, has the only unique filtration system being used today. Rainbow vacuums use a water canister in the housing to filter the air through, which results in a much higher retention of dust and particulates than with any other filtration system. Combine this unique feature with a reputation for reliability, flexibility and dependability and you have the Rainbow line of vacuum cleaners.

The first Kirby vacuum, incorporating toe-touch control and a belt-driven brush roller, was made available to the public in 1935. Ever since, the Kirby vacuum has had a loyal and dedicated following that swears by its durability and effectiveness.

Review of the Dyson DC24 Vacuum Cleaner

Posted: 09 Apr 2011 08:00 PM PDT

The Dyson DC24 with Dyson Ball technology is an ultra light weight vacuum at only 11.5 lbs, yet has the suction power of a larger machine. With a compact design that makes it look like a mini vacuum cleaner, the Dyson DC24 is a machine that is as easy to use as it is to store. The DC24 not only has Dyson Ball technology but also Dyson Cyclone technology, making it one very powerful little machine.

The Dyson DC24 is made from clear and orange ABS plastic, which makes for a light weight unit that can easily be transported up and down stairs, a feature that is appealing especially to the elderly. The handle folds down to just under 30 inches and extends upward to just a bit under 44 inches, making this machine easily adjustable to the height of the user. The 11 inch cleaning path is a bit smaller than the standard 12 inch path of most upright vacuum cleaners. The Dyson Ball design makes it so that the user can adjust the path of the unit and isn’t confined to only a back and forth motion, but rather has a range of angles and curved path abilities. The front assembly is see through so that it is possible to see if debris is wrapped around the roller without having to remove the covering. The refuse tank is clear as well which makes it easy for the operator to see when the tank needs emptying. The refuse tank or bin is easily removable with the push of one button making it easy to empty.

Perhaps the nicest thing about the Dyson DC24, is the fact that no other parts are needed. The filter can be washed for reuse and there are no bags to purchase which really cuts down on overall maintenance costs. The warranty is a very generous 5 year warranty. The included tool attachment converts from brush to crevice tool and stores on the hose, minimizing the opportunity for it to be misplaced and reducing the need for reordering it in the future. The machine also includes a lifetime HEPA filter.

There are a few limitations of the Dyson DC24, for instance, the cord is only 20 feet long. Most upright vacuums come with at least a 30 foot cord and some machines even have 50 foot cords. A shorter cord is nice in applications like RVs or small spaces where the bulk of a larger cord is overwhelming, but for many situations, the operator may find themselves needing to re plug the machine several times during the cleaning process to access all of the areas needing to be cleaned. One other drawback is the small size of the refuse bin and the fact that over time the clear plastic of the refuse bin begins to become dull and grimy from use.

The Dyson DC24 is a great little vacuum. It cleans the air up to 99% for a healthier environment. Details like height adjustment for carpets and bare floors, a brush bar that can be turned on or off and a wand length ample enough to clean baseboards, corners and counters are nice features to find in such a compact unit. All of these matched with the Dyson Cyclone technology (which creates cyclonic suction for unsurpassed performance) and the Dyson Ball feature (the vacuum rolls on a large black ball making it extremely maneuverable) make for one handy little machine.

Dyson Vacuum Cleaner – Is It Right for Your House?

Dyson Vacuum Cleaner – Is It Right for Your House?


Dyson Vacuum Cleaner – Is It Right for Your House?

Posted: 08 Apr 2011 06:00 PM PDT

Are you tired of your old vacuum cleaner that constantly get clogged and doesn’t pick half of the dust from your carpet? If you need a vacuum that will do the job properly a Dyson vacuum cleaner might be the right thing for you. Find out what are the advantage of Dyson over other vacuum cleaners and if it will work for your home.

When it comes to vacuum cleaners you are faced with many choices. You have to choose between Kirby, Eureka, Hoover, Dyson and many other brands. But Dyson vacuums leave most of the competition behind.

Advantages of Having a Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

- It is bagless and easy to use and clean

- HEPA filters guarantee that no dust gets back to your room

- provides extended warranty on your vacuum cleaner and all its parts

- has exceptionally strong suction, vacuum doesn’t clog

- Good for cleaning carpet of cat’s and dog’s hair

How Does It Work?

Dyson has patented a new technology called Root Cyclone. It allows spinning the air at very high speed. The result is a very strong suction, which makes your vacuuming fast and effective.

Dyson vacuum cleaner uses three step processes. First all dust goes through a filter that sends it to the bin. Larger pieces are caught there, the shroud separates fluff and hair and the root spins fine dust at a high speed. This prevents clogging and helps your vacuum maintain an incredible suction power.

Most Dyson vacuums are upright bagless models. Not having a bag is very useful – no need for you to clean or replace it every time after vacuuming. When you are done just empty the clear plastic bin where all dust is collected.

Selecting Your Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

There are several models of Dyson vacuum cleaners for you to choose from. While all of them have excellent suction and do a good job cleaning your carpet, you should take your time comparing different models to find the one that is perfect for your place. If you are looking for a simple vacuum cleaner, basic models like Dyson DC 07 or Dyson DC 14 are a good choice.

If you have pets that leave their fur on your carpet, you will need a more elaborate model. Look for models with animal HEPA filter. Good examples are Dyson DC 17 Absolute or Dyson DC15 Best Animal Ball. Both collect all pet hair leaving your carpet absolutely clean.

Dyson vacuum cleaners are very popular and finding the one you like will not be a problem. Local vacuum cleaner stores should have them. But you can find a better price if you get your vacuum cleaner online. There are many retailers that sell discounted home appliances. And the best part – you can compare prices at several online shops without leaving your room.

How Much Would A Dyson Vacuum Cost Me?

Dyson vacuums are not the cheapest vacuum cleaners around. Depending on the model, be prepared to pay from 300 to 600 dollars for your vacuum cleaner. It sounds pretty steep, but bear in mind that you are not just buying a home appliance. A good vacuum is a necessity for every home; it keeps your carpet clean and your family healthy. Cheap vacuum cleaners usually distribute half of the collected dust back to the air. Dyson will not do that.

Also Dyson usually offer 5 years warranty. So you can expect your vacuum cleaner to serve you for at least 5 years. A word of caution – if your vacuum cleaner is broken don’t try to repair it yourself. They can refuse to fix it under warranty it you interfered with the mechanism.

To conclude, if you are looking for a vacuum that is easy to use and will clean your house effectively; Dyson vacuum cleaner is a good choice. It will definitely justify its cost by making cleaning an easy job.

Office Cleaning: Get The Most From Your Service

Posted: 07 Apr 2011 12:20 AM PDT

On the surface, there doesn’t seem to be that much to say about office cleaning. However, if you’ve recently hired a company to take care of the daily tidying chores, you may be wondering why things aren’t turning out the way you’d planned. Maybe you feel as if the company you’ve hired isn’t worth the money. This may be true, but there are some tips you can employ that will help you wring every dollar’s worth out of your office cleaning company.

The first thing you need to do is figure out a schedule that works for both you and the service you’ve hired. After they’ve worked for you for a couple of weeks, you’ll be able to discern the kind of schedule that works best. You may notice that they are coming much more often than is really necessary. Perhaps they are not visiting frequently enough and the dirt is piling up. Talk to the service and work something out that makes sense both financially and practically. If you feel you aren’t getting things done in certain areas, you may wish to leave the service with a checklist of tasks.

Don’t let your employees go into slob mode just because you’ve hired an office cleaning service. While it might be tempting to leave trash around and leave dishes piled in the company sink, this will give the service much more to do in a limited time, taking away from more important chores. If you can keep the workplace relatively tidy throughout the day, the people you’ve hired can focus on the actual work instead of just picking up after lazy employees.

It can be a hassle to have your employees try to concentrate and work while the office cleaning service is dusting here and vacuuming there. It might make more sense to have them come in after everyone else has gone home. This is they way many companies do it, and it works from an efficiency and convenience standpoint. Of course, you may feel justifiably reluctant to have workers around sensitive materials at night. If you don’t have a security staff, you might think about locking up anything particularly private or installing cameras.

Finally, remember to be realistic. These service companies aren’t genies who can turn cow patties into gold bars. You have a right to expect a job done well, but you have to understand that you get what you pay for. If you’re shelling out a hundred bucks a visit, you should expect things done quite well. For $25 a visit, you may get the trash taken out.

Wood Blinds – Best Methods For Cleaning Them

Posted: 05 Apr 2011 08:20 AM PDT

If you have wooden blinds in your home or are planning on getting some in the near future then it’s important to know how to clean them. Wood blinds look great in a number of different situations which is why they’re so popular but you need to remember that they require a certain level of maintenance in order to stay looking their best.

The problem is, dust and dirt regularly accumulates on wooden blinds which need to be cleaned regularly. Also, wood can rot or become disfigured if it isn’t cared for correctly. Some people get around this problem by using faux wood blinds which don’t require the same level of maintenance, but if you have real wooden blinds how can you care for them?

The first thing you should do is regularly get rid of all the dirt on the blinds by using a vacuum. This is safer than using water on wood and can also be done without taking the blinds down so is usually straightforward to do. The only thing you need to be careful of is scratching the wood which is why using one of the soft brush heads is usually a good idea.

Sometimes there’s bits of dirt that just won’t come off and in this case you need to use something that provides more friction without damaging the wood. A soft cloth will do although you need to be careful that it isn’t so brittle that it scratches of marks the wood. Always try to brush in the direction of the slats. The most important thing to remember is that if you can’t get a bit of dirt off the wood then more force is not necessarily a good idea as you risk causing damage.

In some cases even using a dry cloth may not be enough so you should try using some sort of wood cleaner. It’s important to only use products that have been created with the purpose of being used on wood otherwise it you risk permanently damaging your blinds. While wood blinds do require some maintenance in most cases it doesn’t take long to do. It’s always a good idea to contact the manufacturer of the blinds and ask how they recommend cleaning them before trying any technique just to be on the safe side. To get a professional clean you could also pay a specialist to do the job for you.

Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner – Dyson DC24

Lightweight Vacuum Cleaner – Dyson DC24

Posted: 03 Apr 2011 06:40 PM PDT

When searching for a new vacuum cleaner – people often forget about the weight of the cleaner. It’s all very well selecting the top technology, the best reviews and the cheapest price but that won’t help if you can’t carry it upstairs. My wife always does this – instead of looking around for a nice lightweight vacuum cleaner – she buys one with every function under the sun and then she can’t carry it anywhere!

To be honest most of the Dyson Vacuum cleaner range are guilty of being pretty heavy – some of them are well over 15 kgs which can be pretty tricky for a lot of people to drag up stairs. There is however one Dyson which can safely fit into the lightweight vacuum cleaner category – the Dyson DC24 Allfloors.

The dyson DC24 weighs in at about 5.4 kgs which is a nice comfortable weight for most us to carry with one hand – what’s more the handle of the vacuum cleaner compresses to it can be stored in a very small space. The Dyson DC24 uses a rather clever system called the Dyson Ball technology – this is basically a rather neat idea where the vacuum is maneuvered on a ball instead of the usual wheels – this allows for free movement in any direction. A simple idea but it genuinely makes the vacuum easier to steer – especially as it is such a lightweight vacuum cleaner.

The big selling point of the Dyson vacuum cleaners has always been the rather grand sounding Root Cyclone technology which allows the vacuum to operate without a dust-bag and doesn’t use a filter to trap the dirt and dust. This also cuts down the running costs of the vacuum and prevents the cleaner losing suction power by getting blocked.

There is one filter on the Dyson DC24 which is the HEPA filter used to trap small particles that can cause allergy problems such as cigarette smoke and pollen.

It’s a very powerful machine surprising for such a lightweight vacuum cleaner – other handy features are the motorised brush bar which helps agitate the dirt from floors can easily be turned off so that you can vacuum hard floors and rugs easily.

The Dyson DC24 is a great choice if you’re looking for a state-of-the art lightweight vacuum cleaner. Check out more information here
