Tips for Selecting a Commercial Grade Vacuum Cleaner

A vacuum cleaner is the custodian’s best friend. When shopping for a vacuum cleaner, look at this purchase as an investment and not an expense. Buy a machine that will not only do the job, but also last.

A commercial janitorial service should consider either an upright or backpack vacuum or both. The cord should be 50 feet long. If the cord is too short, you will be stopping too often to find another outlet. If it is too long, it may accidentally topple something way behind you.

Some machines are now HEPA rated. This rating means the machine has a much improved air-filtration system over more traditional vacuums. Indoor air-quality is an issue you will want to consider if vacuuming is a major part of your work routine.

Also, the Carpet and Rug Institute now rates vacuum cleaners based on their air-filtration, effective soil removal, and overall performance.

Backpack vacuum cleaners are becoming increasingly popular because of their versatility and ease of use. Studies have shown that they can improve productivity and in many type of vacuuming situations, such as cleaning theaters and restaurant dining rooms, they seem to be a very good option.

Upright vacuums come in different base widths and weights. Find one that is wide enough to meet your needs but not too large to be cumbersome or too small to make more work for yourself. Some machines are surprisingly lightweight. Overall, most vacuums are much lighter than machines manufactured just 10 years ago.

Another item to consider which is often overlooked is noise. A noisy machine, when used regularly, may start to bother you very quickly. Look for a vacuum where the motor is sound buffered to make your work more pleasant.
