A vacuum cleaners job is to clean up the dirt and dust in your home. You take your vacuum out of the closet and proceed to vacuum your home. You then put your vacuum back and give yourself an internal high five for making your home clean. But how clean is it?
Well it is not clean unless you are using a true sealed system with a HEPA filter. "Pet allergens and indoor dust, which contains the highest concentrations of hazardous materials like heavy metals, lead, pesticides, and other chemicals, are found in higher concentrations in the smallest particles of the dust," explains David MacIntosh, MD. He is principal scientist at Environmental Health & Engineering (EH&E), an environmental consulting and engineering services firm based in Needham, Mass.
"The everyday habit of cleaning with a conventional vacuum cleaner results in a burst of particles in the air and then they settle back down over the course of hours," says MacIntosh.
So what do you need in order to stop yourself from becoming sick from vacuuming? You need to purchase a vacuum with a sealed system and True Hepa FIltration which prevents any particles from escaping into the air to resettle in your home. Miele has a wide range of sealed system vacuums with True Hepa Filtration. When you purchase a Miele Vacuum Cleaner with a Sealed System you do not have to worry about particulates re-dispersing throughout your house causing you to become sick.
Many customers buy vacuums that say the HEPA filter is able to trap at least 99.97 percent of the particles of .3 microns. So of course the customer feels content that their vacuum cleaner is protecting them from particles in the air. But the customer does not realize they are being misled. Yes the HEPA filter will filter the air as stated but that does not take into account the air that leaked out way before the HEPA filter.
What are you talking about? Unless the vacuum cleaner is a totally sealed system air is being expelled through the vacuum before it gets to the HEPA filter. Meaning not all the air goes through the HEPA filter thus polluting your house with dirty air.
The information you see on the filter, like 99.97 percent of the particles at .3 microns is actually just what the HEPA filter is capable of doing in the perfect conditions. If all the air goes through the HEPA filter then the information is correct. To make sure all the air goes through the HEPA filter you must purchase a sealed system vacuum cleaner with a HEPA filter. If you do not purchase one cleaning your home might make you sick.
