How to vacuum my carpet or rugs without damaging them
If your carpet has started to fray, fuzz, tear or deteriorate, you may not realize that the culprit could be your vacuum cleaner. The features of many leading brands of vacuum cleaners may be unsuitable for certain types of carpet if not used correctly. High-end vacuum cleaners with high suction power and robotic vacuums can be particularly problematic. Some models of these new vacuums often do not allow adjustments for different types of carpets. These vacuums are best avoided.
If you already have a vacuum cleaner that you like, there are three key things to consider to make sure it's right for your carpet or rug
Suction Power
Although powerful suction may seem like an advantage, it can be detrimental to certain carpets. For high pile and soft or delicate carpets, avoid vacuum cleaners with concentrated suction. This type of suction can not only damage the carpet, but can also make it difficult for the vacuum to move over the surface, causing friction on the surface.
To check suction power, look for terms such as "concentrated suction" or "sealed" in the vacuum specifications that measure airflow power. Most vacuums have a CFM between 50 and 100, although some can range from 45 to 200 CFM.
Vacuum Height Adjustment
The ability to adjust the height of the vacuum cleaner is crucial. This feature allows the vacuum to work well or not on various types of carpets. If the vacuum is too high, it will not be able to suck up the deepest dirt. If it is too low, the brushes can damage the surface of the carpet, making it look worn.
Rugs, depending on their height or the type of fiber they are made of, require different height settings. High pile carpets and soft or more delicate carpets usually require the highest height setting. . If you are in doubt about the correct setting, test in an inconspicuous area and check the result.
The rotating brush of the vacuum cleaner
Although it is sometimes advisable to use a vacuum cleaner with a rotating brush, make sure you are doing it correctly. If the bar is too high or too low, adjust it as needed. Before using the vacuum, check the rotating brush to make sure there are no burrs or nicks that could damage the carpet.
For loop carpets, braids or carpets with a construction that can lead to snagging, you may even need to disable the rotating brush and use it in suction-only mode. If you are in doubt about the correct setting, try it in an inconspicuous area and check the result.
Conclusion
Definitely, choosing the right vacuum cleaner is essential to keep your carpet or rug in perfect condition. Keep in mind the recommendations on height adjustment, suction power and use of the rotating brush to extend their life.
Vacuum carpet cleaning
Regular vacuuming is the easiest and most effective way to keep your carpet clean. In addition, vacuuming improves the quality of the air we breathe.
