Most businesses, whether big or small, have some type of carpeting in the building. It is important to maintain that carpet to extend the life of the carpet and produce a healthy work environment. This is accomplished through regular vacuuming between professional cleanings. To thoroughly remove soil and pollutants from carpeting, it is essential to use an industrial vacuum cleaner.
Businesses need specialty vacuums to care for their flooring. A typical household vacuum would never hold up to the hours put on a commercial vacuum. Also, many industrial vacuum cleaners are more powerful than an average vacuum. They produce many more times the lift that a household vacuum can muster. Lastly, commercial vacuums are often designed with a much wider cleaning path. This allows employees to cover more area in less time. This is vital for very large office complexes.
There are many types of industrial vacuums on the market. Traditional upright vacuums are great for small businesses that do not require much area to be covered. Also, upright vacuums can be very convenient to move around and take very little set up time. Canister vacuums can provide a little more power, but they are more time consuming to set up with various attachments. Industrial backpack vacuums are very popular with workers since they can be worn and cut down on travel time. Also, for very large facilities, there are the commercial push behind vacuums. These vacuums can cover a great deal of area in a very short amount of time.
When purchasing an industrial vacuum there are a few features that should be considered. Cord length is a feature that many overlook. The longer the cord is the less time an employee has to stop to move it. Another feature is noise the machine will emit. If the vacuuming will be done at night it may not be a factor; however, if the vacuuming is to be done during working hours, a vacuum that is quieter will cut down on employee distraction. One of the most important factors is durability. Research commercial vacuums well to find out which ones receive high marks for longevity. Lastly, price should be a major factor in choosing a commercial vacuum. Good, dependable vacuums are going to cost more money. Choosing a cheaper vacuum may cost more money in the long run.
Some of the top industrial vacuums on the market can vary by which type of vacuum is to be considered. Popular commercial upright vacuums include the Oreck commercial uprights, the Carpet Pro commercial upright, and Hoover’s commercial upright. The canister vacuums include the Hoover Portapower, the Electrolux Sanitaire, and the Windsor TrekVac 3. Backpack vacuums would include the Hoover commercial shoulder vacuum, ProTeam Super QuarterVac, and the ProVac Backpack vacuums. Finally, for vary large facilities, top brands to consider would be the Oreck ComVac, Pacific Steamex, Kent Champion, and the Tornado CarpetKeeper.
