What to Look for in a Commercial Vacuum Cleaner
One of the most important things for any business is ensuring that it has a clean and respectable image. To do that, you’ll need adequate cleaning tools, such as a suitable vacuum cleaner. But just any old cleaner simply won’t do for a commercial setting. Domestic vacuum cleaners are designed with small coverage in mind, but in a commercial environment you’ll need a more powerful cleaner. As such, this month we’ll be outlining what you should be on the lookout for in a commercial vacuum cleaner.
Weight
Efficiency in a business setting is how success is born. Not only do your daily activities need to have outstanding efficiency levels, but you should also give thought to ensuring your cleaning procedures are efficient too. An appropriately weighted vacuum cleaner, therefore is essential. If the vacuum is too heavy for the cleaning assistant, progress will be slow. Alternatively, if the vacuum is too light but your premises is quite large, the vacuum cleaner will need to be emptied frequently, compromising efficiency. See about getting the balance right.
Motor Power
Your vacuum cleaner’s suction capabilities are another important thing to look into. Too powerful and you risk damaging your floors, but too weak and you risk not cleaning them at all. You need to assess the size of your premises, the type of flooring, and the nature of the debris and mess you’ll be using it to vacuum. Then you should choose a vacuum cleaner with a motor large enough to accommodate those requirements.
Warranty
Although we don’t expect to encounter problems with a brand new vacuum cleaner, sometimes they do crop up. If they do, you’ll need to know that your vacuum cleaner is protected under warranty. When purchasing a new machine, give careful thought to how good the warranty offer is.
Cable Length
As vacuum cleaners are powered by electricity, you’ll need to ensure that the cable length of your vacuum is suitable for your premises. Think about how many electrical outlets you have on your premises and how large your premises are. This should help you choose a vacuum cleaner suitable for your business.
Type of Machine
The cleaning demands of your business will influence what type of vacuum cleaner you choose. Upright cleaners are good for deeper cleans of carpets, whereas cylinder tub machines – which utilise bags that will need to be changed often – are good at cleaning relatively lighter messes. Backpack vacuum cleaners are excellent for providing cleaning access to otherwise inaccessible areas. On the other hand, if your business involves a large amount of water, wet pick-up machines can vacuum large water spillages.
