Anti-Allergic Broom

In general, vacuum cleaners are used to remove dust and other waste materials from carpets, furniture, curtains, and other home furnishings.
It should be noted that regardless of the season we are in, in most houses there are large amounts of allergens such as plant pollen, house dust mites, spores of fungi and molds, and sometimes excrement and substances from pets. Or there are cockroaches.
While most of the people first vacuum the carpets and rugs, but perhaps one of the most important parts of the house that should be considered is the surfaces of the furniture, which are usually not accessible to the brush and suction part of the vacuum cleaner. And they are places where dust and other allergens accumulate.
It should be remembered that sweeping and dusting should include all surfaces in the home and only in this way can significantly remove allergens in the home.
Another point in dusting and removing allergens at home, in addition to choosing the right vacuum cleaner, is the way and how to clean.

You should start collecting dust in the house from the highest levels where dust accumulates and continue to the lower levels and even places that are not available for the brush and suction part of the vacuum cleaner.
Some of these places are: the spaces above the cabinets, the sides of the floors, photo frames and panels, the sides of the windowsills, the spaces between the cabinets and the spaces between the furniture.
In any case, by changing the brush and suction part of the vacuum cleaner, it is necessary to ensure dusting of inaccessible parts.
If possible, try to carefully dust these spaces with a damp cloth.
Be careful not to let the dust hang in the air while dusting.
It is necessary to use a mask when sweeping.
It is recommended not to remove the mask from your mouth and nose for about 30 minutes to an hour after sweeping.
It is worth noting that one of the home furnishings that must be carefully dusted is the furniture and chairs of the dining table and the spaces under the tables.
Also, don’t forget to dust the curtains, especially their fabric types! Therefore, according to the stated items, it is now clear that sweeping is not limited to carpets and rugs at home!

• Before vacuuming, make sure that the vacuum cleaner bag or its tank is not full (in all types of vacuum cleaners without bags). The fullness of the vacuum cleaner bag significantly reduces the efficiency of the vacuum cleaner.
• Before vacuuming, any large debris or tangled threads and hairs must be removed in the suction brush part of the vacuum cleaner.
• Make sure that the connecting parts and vacuum cleaner hoses are tight.
• After making sure that the vacuum cleaner is ready, the following points should be observed for vacuuming:
• Pick up large pieces of trash from the floor and throw them away. These parts may clog vacuum cleaner hoses and reduce suction.
• Don’t forget to sweep the corners of the house, especially the stairs! Usually, all types of vacuum cleaners have a special brush and nozzle for such areas.
• Do the vacuuming with the vacuum cleaner slowly and move the suction part and the brush four times over the surface of an area back and forth.
• Never do the sweeping action with too much pressure on the suction part and the vacuum cleaner brush on the surfaces!
• Sweep high-traffic areas of the house at least twice a week.
• If pets are kept in the house, the frequency of sweeping should be more.
• In families where one of the members has an allergic disease, if possible, the whole house should be swept twice a week.

To buy a suitable vacuum cleaner for removing allergens from the home, especially in families where a member of them has asthma or allergic rhinitis (seasonal allergy or nasal allergy), several things should be considered.
Since the vacuum cleaner system is such that it re-enters the sucked air into the home space, therefore, if the right vacuum cleaner is not used, vacuuming the house can worsen the situation and re-introduce allergens into the breathing air and aggravate allergy symptoms. to be

• One of the most important characteristics of a suitable vacuum cleaner is the type of filter used in it. It is better to use vacuum cleaners equipped with a HEPA filter. HEPA filters are highly efficient and can filter more than 99% of particles smaller than 0.3 microns (each micron is equivalent to one millionth of a meter) from the air passing through them. These types of filters can easily remove sensitizing substances (allergens) caused by pets, fungi and molds, mites or plant pollen and excrement and substances from cockroaches.
•  In this way, the air coming out of a vacuum cleaner equipped with a HEPA filter does not contain such allergenic substances.
• Another characteristic of vacuum cleaners is the use of disposable bags or the use of a condensing tank.
  If you use any of these vacuum cleaners, you must remember to use a suitable mask when throwing away the bag or emptying the vacuum cleaner tank.
