How to Go Green with a New Vacuum Cleaner
My wife got a new vacuum cleaner this Christmas and it has made a difference in our lives. That may seem a little dramatic for just a vacuum cleaner, but for those of us that suffer from allergies it’s not.
It has been amazing how much cleaner the house smells after we vacuum. It used to smell like dog for a few hours. Now it just smells clean.
We don’t seem to need to dust as much any more either. I guess our old vacuum did a better job of kicking up dust than it did sucking up dust.
It has also helped us save on our electric bills. We used to have several air purifiers running 24/7. But so far we have not needed them yet. I’m sure that spring allergy season may put this to the test.
What do we owe this change to? A Dyson DC14. Although I’m sure most any model will suffice.
Another bonus is that we will never have to buy vacuum cleaner bags ever again. Just empty the canister once in a while and rinse the filters with water a few times a year.
What a deal! A cleaner house, lower electric bills, better indoor air quality, no hum of air filters, and one less thing to remember at the grocery store.
