<\/figure>\n\n\n\nVacuum after dusting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Once you’ve finished dusting, vacuum the room to pick up dust and debris that has settled on the floor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pay particular attention to room edges, underneath furniture and the areas around beds and sofas. These spots can easily be overlooked during a quick clean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A cordless vacuum makes it easier to move between rooms and tackle above-floor areas without repeatedly plugging and unplugging your vacuum. The VAX HomePro cordless vacuum range<\/a> includes models designed for whole-home cleaning, with tools for tackling floors, stairs, furniture and harder-to-reach areas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When choosing a vacuum, it’s also worth checking its filtration specification. Effective filtration can help contain fine particles picked up by the vacuum rather than allowing them to escape back into the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We spend a considerable amount of time in our bedrooms, so it’s worth making them a priority in your cleaning routine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Wash bedding regularly according to its care instructions and vacuum around the bed, including underneath it where accessible. Don’t forget upholstered headboards and other soft furnishings, which can also collect dust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n During pollen season, avoid placing clothes you’ve worn outside directly onto your bed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If pollen is a particular problem for you, you may also prefer to dry freshly washed bedding indoors or in a tumble dryer where the care label permits, rather than hanging it outside when pollen levels are high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carpets aren’t the only fabric surfaces that collect dust and debris. Sofas, armchairs, curtains, cushions and other soft furnishings can all need attention too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vacuum suitable upholstery regularly using an appropriate attachment, concentrating on seams, underneath cushions and other areas where dust collects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pet owners may need to do this more frequently. Pet hair and dander can accumulate on furniture, carpets and pet beds, particularly in the areas where your dog or cat spends the most time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always check the manufacturer’s care instructions before vacuuming or wet cleaning delicate fabrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n Hard floors still collect pollen, dust, pet hair and other debris, even when the dirt isn’t immediately visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vacuum or sweep first to remove loose debris before washing the floor. Pay attention to corners, edges and underneath furniture where dust can accumulate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For a deeper clean, a dedicated hard floor cleaner such as the VAX ONEPWR Glide 2 Cordless Hard Floor Cleaner<\/a> can vacuum, wash and dry hard floors at the same time, helping you tackle everyday dirt without repeatedly returning a traditional mop to the same bucket of water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Always check that your chosen cleaning method and solution are suitable for your particular flooring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Regular vacuuming should form the basis of your carpet cleaning routine, but carpets can also benefit from a deeper clean periodically.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Carpet cleaners wash into carpet fibres and extract the dirty water rather than simply picking up loose debris from the surface.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The VAX range includes carpet cleaners for different homes and cleaning needs. For example, the VAX Platinum SmartWash Carpet Cleaner<\/a> combines whole-floor carpet cleaning with a hose and handheld tool for cleaning suitable stairs and upholstery too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Before wet cleaning a carpet or piece of upholstery, always check the manufacturer’s care instructions.<\/p>\n\n\n\nGive bedrooms some extra attention<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
