Vacuum cleaner
- Question
- Hello
Considering the cloud of dust, is it better to have a vacuum cleaner with or without bags? And about the steam cleaner, is it safe and healthy? If I use the steam cleaner in the bathroom, is it efficient to kill bacteria and replace chlorination? Thank you for taking the time to answer all our questions. - Answer
- Dear questioner,
Vacuum cleaners:
The disadvantage of bagless vacuum cleaners is the need to empty often the tank container, exposing patients directly to a cloud of dust. Furthermore, cleaning of the container is to be performed regularly.
It is preferable to use the vacuum cleaner with dust bag lock and so to expose the patient to much less dust. Better yet, if possible, avoid to empty the tank yourself or to change the bag yourself. Enlist your family.
Steam cleaners:
To be effective these devices release water vapor at 140 °C with a pressure of 4 to 6 bar.
If you use a regular steam cleaner, it will emit a wet steam and humidify your home considerably. There is no recommendation considering effectiveness of this type of cleaning.
