How to Vacuum Properly: 7 Rules for a Cleaner Home
A vacuum only removes dust if you use it well. Seven rules that save time and clearly improve the result.
The rules
- Dust furniture and shelves first, then vacuum — otherwise dust settles on the floor again.
- Work from the far wall towards the exit.
- Make slow, even passes: speed matters more than power.
- Use the crevice tool for baseboards, corners and radiators.
- Use the upholstery tool for sofas and mattresses.
- Empty the container and change the filter on time.
- Vacuum twice a week where pets live or there is heavy foot traffic.
Carpets and wood floors
Vacuum carpets in two directions; for parquet and laminate use a soft brush head without pressing hard. If dust stays behind, check the filter and the bag.
Why dust comes back
Dust rises from clothes, textiles, open windows and dry air. Weekly wet cleaning and clean textiles reduce it noticeably.
Questions and answers
