Almost every household has more than one floor surface, from hardwood floors to carpets and rugs. Having a variety of surfaces adds character to a home but it does come with one added obstacle – what is the best way to clean each one? 

 

Hard floor

​

The term ‘hard floor’ encompasses a huge variety of surfaces and often describes non-carpeted flooring. 

 

Vacuuming

​

To clean dry messes, such as crumbs, dirt, and pet hair, the 2-in-1 Chilli Tempest is a vacuum cleaner suitable for all of these surfaces. It has a low noise level and has great suction. You can also use the UV400, with the floor attachment, which is lightweight and efficient. If you would prefer no noise, try the Evolution 3, to quickly sweep. 

​

Polishing and Mopping

​

Wood, tiles, laminate and vinyl

To access the small gaps common in wooden floorboards, the 5 Piece Kit Spray Mop is the ideal tool. It has a microfiber flat head to effortlessly collect trapped small and stubborn remnants. Plus, it can be used wet to mop up sticky messes or dry to dust floors.  

​

As for tiles, the Steam Dynamo and Steam Chief come equipped with an abundance of attachments to easily remove dirt and grease build-up. Steam cleaning will yield high-quality cleaning results and protect surface damage from toxic chemicals because it relies solely on water.

​

If you have laminate flooring, use a floor polisher such as the Ep170 or EPV1100 to polish and buff floors. These devices restore your floor’s quality and deliver a brand new appearance. They are lightweight, yet sturdy, and equipped with a butterfly handle to make polishing a simple task.

The Nifftee and Electra are cordless cleaners effective for vinyl flooring. Both are lightweight and portable with a powerful rotating cleaning pad. Using these gentle floor polishers will restore your dull floors to look brand new.  
 

 

Carpet

​

Carpet is typically categorized into two: short pile and long pile. Pile is a term for the fabric loops which are woven into the base – short loops for short pile and long loops for long pile.
Short pile is often dense and thinner. Long pile is more common in thick shag carpets. 

​

Vacuuming.

​

All our vacuums and sweepers are designed with carpets in mind. For vacuums, we have the Chilli Tempest and UV400, both lightweight and portable. Our sweepers, the Evolution 3 and Speedsweep are great for quick sweeping. We have been manufacturing carpet sweepers for over 140 years, so you can trust that we have perfected the design for high level pick-up.

Tackling a soiled carpet

​

Carpet Shampooing

Whether you spilled on your carpets, or would like to remove grease and build-up, our shampooers are the solution. These cleaners involve a polymer roller with twin brush strips to expel water and cleaning solution deep into carpet fibers for an intense restoration. Eliminate pet stains and embedded dirt with the non-electric Cascade or the 250 Manual Shampooer. Both are lightweight, portable, and easy to use. 

​

Steam Cleaning

If you’d like to clean your carpets without any chemicals, steam cleaning is the best option. Our Steam Dynamo and Steam Chief come with a floor tool to use on carpets and rugs.
