A Few Benefits of a Dyson Upright Vacuum

Posted: 04 Jun 2011 09:20 PM PDT

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.

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

Posted: 03 Jun 2011 04:40 AM PDT

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.

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

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.
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).
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.
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.
Gently swish the lampshade up and down through the soapy water
Empty out the soapy water and refill the basin with clean warm water. Rinse the shade
If the shade is particularly dirty repeat steps 4 and 5
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.
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.
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.
