"Crawlies" in your carpet giving you the CREEPS?
Banish these buggers once and for all...
|
Greetings,
HAPPY OCTOBER! Halloween is approaching....ghosts, goblins, werewolves - oh my! They'd be scary if they were real. But what are genuinely scary? The creepy crawlies that can take up residence in your carpet, bed and hard-to-reach corners of your home! The good news is that there's an easy solution to banishing these buggers - and it's right under your nose...Your vacuum to the rescue!
So before you batten down the hatches for winter, take some time this fall to rid your home of unwanted and unhealthy guests.
Arm yourself by following these helpful tips:
- Rabid ankle-biting dust bunnies are easily detained - if you're able to catch them off-guard. Often provoked to flee at the first sight of your vacuum - you must sneak up on this skittish prey. Point the machine's exhaust away from the bunnies and scap them up with a quick sweep of your vacuum's long hose/wand attachment.
- Use your vacuum to suck up and trap the tiny spiders that live in the corners of your home and behind furniture. Using the hose attachment with the long wand or crevice tool means you won't even have to get near them. Get rid of the spiders and you don't have to clean embarrassing cobwebs! (By the way, this works best with a bagged vacuum.)
- Clean the kitchen area frequently; Wipe counters, empty the garbage, avoid leaving pet food dishes out for long periods of time, and vacuum the floor frequently for crumbs. This will discourage infestation of ants as well rodents! Also be sure to Read More....

Got a Question? Ask Alice!
 Queen Vacuum's mascot, Alice, is the go-to gal for all your vacuum-related questions!
Q: "Gene" from Red Bank writes:
What is all this talk about HEPA filters? I don't really think I understand what they're for. And I really don't get why some HEPA vacuums are so cheap and other so expensive...Can you explain?
A: Great question, Gene! And don't feel badly, because I think most people have some serious misconceptions about HEPA filters and vacuums.
First of all, "H.E.P.A." is an acronym that stands for High Efficiency Particulate Air (filtration.) HEPA filters, by definition, remove at least 99.97% of airborne particles 0.3 micrometers (�m) in diameter. (A human hair is approximately 100 micrometers thick.)
Many vacuum cleaners now use HEPA filters as part of their filtration systems. This is beneficial for asthma and allergy sufferers, because the HEPA filter traps the fine particles (such as pollen and dust mite feces) which trigger allergy and asthma symptoms. A plain paper vacuum filter bag cannot do that.
However, for a HEPA filter in a vacuum cleaner to be effective, the vacuum cleaner itself must be designed so that all the air drawn into the machine is expelled through the filter, with none of the air leaking past it. This is often referred to as "Sealed (or) True HEPA." Quite simply, it takes a carefully constructed, high-quality machine to achieve this difficult task - and that of course costs a little extra.
Competition is fierce and "HEPA" has become quite a marketable buzzword! But beware...Many vacuums commonly seen in stores or on TV today may utilize a HEPA filter or be marketed as HEPA, but leak profusely due to inefficient airflow design and poor construction. This means that dirt and allergens escape the machine blowing directly back into your breathing air. Internal leaks also allow unwanted dirt to pass through the motor, dramatically shortening the vacuum's life. This is just one reason why the prices and levels of performance can vary so dramatically!
Hope I've helped to clear up the confusion...but if you'd like to actually see and feel the difference between true HEPA vacuums and the counterfeits - stop into Queen Vacuum for a fun demonstration!
