What is the Best Vacuum for Wood Floors?If you have hardwood floors at home, you know just how frustrating it can be to keep them clean. While hardwood floors offer a type of beauty that no other flooring can, they also get dirtier more quickly than carpet does and that can make for a nasty situation in your home. Who wants to live somewhere where they can’t walk around in bare feet if they want to? There is relief and that relief is provided in the form of the good old vacuum cleaner. Many people think that once they make the transition from traditional carpeting to hardwood floors their days of vacuuming are over. Whether or not this is a welcome transition varies from person to person, but that doesn’t have to be the case. There are vacuum cleaners out there that can be used on hardwood floors, and safely. Many people fear the damage that a traditional upright vacuum cleaner can do to their hardwood floors, and justifiably so. All vacuum cleaners are not created equally, and some of the traditional sweepers can wreak havoc on a nicely polished wooden floor. With the right vacuum cleaner, your hardwood floors can be dust free and enjoyable again without having to worry about the risk of damage that a regular cleaner might pose. It’s Not More Dirt, Just More Noticeable Dirt Contrary to what many people might believe, hardwood floors do not get any dirtier than traditional carpeting. With wooden flooring dirt and grime have no place to settle but right on the surface of the floor. With carpeting, such particles can settle in between the fibers until the vacuum cleaner sucks them up. Many people prefer carpet for this reason, but carpet holds on to dirt and allergens that hardwood floors let go of with proper cleaning. Roomba: The Best Vacuum Cleaner for Hardwood Floors One of the best new vacuums for hardwood floors to date is the Roomba. Consumer reports have given these vacuums great reviews for hardwood floors, and while it does not pack much power, there does not need to be a lot of suction when cleaning up hardwood floors. The most notable quality about this pick is that it will putter around the house and do the vacuuming for you, just to return to its charging station upon completion. For the Traditional Approach For those that prefer the more traditionally styled vacuum cleaner, there are types of vacuums to choose from that are adjustable for carpet length and types of flooring. These vacuum cleaners are made by Bissell, Dirt Devil, Hoover, and other vacuum manufacturers and while they are not the best vacuums for hardwood flooring, they can be used safely without fear of damaging the wood. For those out there who have hardwood floors and are sick of the constant sweeping and mopping, consider the fact that you might not have left the vacuum cleaner permanently in your past like you may have thought. Some vacuum cleaners are safe for use on wood floors; it is just a matter of finding the right one. More Vacuum Products |
