best vacuum cleaners

Central vacuum systems remove this dirt to a collection unit located preferably in a separate closet / press or an adjoining garage / store. This unit can also be located in a basement if one exists in your home. By removing the dust particles from the area being cleaned, this eliminates the potential for ‘re-circulating’ dust within your house and this obviously contributes directly to a much cleaner home.

Studies have shown that frequent vacuuming improves air quality of a residence by over 50%. Using a central vacuum system can significantly reduce your exposure to airborne particles. Ordinary, or portable vacuum cleaners re-circulate dirt and dust into the air while they are operating. That re-circulated dirt contains bacteria and other airborne particles. A very important aspect of your home is the quality of the air you breathe. Indoor air pollutants are a common cause of allergies and other health problems.

Asthma can be caused by dust mites, moulds, smoke and pets, the list is endless. Even though you vacuum your home regularly and it is clean, it still has dust mites – they are tiny insects that are invisible to the naked eye. They are found in carpets, mattresses, pillows, furniture, bedclothes and clothing, fabric, etc.

Dust that contains dust mites can cause asthma in both adults and children with allergic reactions to dust mites.

Moulds on the other hand are microscopic fungi that live on plant and animal matter. Moulds produce tiny spores to reproduce, just as plants produce seeds. These spores waft through the indoor and outdoor air continually and again can cause asthma in susceptible adults and children.
