You think you know how to vacuum, right?
As a result, I rush through the chore.
This, however, is wrong.
Patel says that vacuuming too quickly is one of the biggest vacuuming mistakes.
So, how fast should you go?
Dyson recommends a speed of 20 inches per second.
“We recommend vacuuming once in each direction,” says Patel.
Move in straight rows.
Torque-drive heads are more powerful and dislodge ground-in dirt, even from deep-pile carpets.
Fluffy heads clean hard floors and surfaces.
Mini-motorheads are for cleaning stairs, cars, mattresses or upholstery.
Soft dusting tools, or the small hose attachments with brushes on the end, are for delicate furniture.
If you’re not sure what to do, check your specific vacuum’s owner’s manual.
