Vacuum cleaner for dry cleaning of the parquet floor

The luxurious appearance of the parquet floor is achieved due to the variety of varnish layers applied to the wood surface. The main task of the varnish is to protect the natural wood material from the negative effects of the environment and mechanical damage. That is why it is necessary to carry out floor cleaning using delicate cleaning products that are not able to damage the surface of the paintwork of the board with scratches and chips.

Parquet floors can be cleaned using modern synthetic fabric materials made of microfiber and special detergents, traces of which must be immediately removed by mopping the floor dry. Or use a vacuum cleaner with such a minimum of parameters and equipment:

• The kit should include a parquet nozzle, the pile of which is made of natural materials.
• The wheels of the vacuum cleaner for transportation should have a coating of soft materials, it is better if it is silicone, which does not leave marks on parquet varnish.
• Separately, a brush for parquet is purchased, with a flat shape and a narrow width, on the edging of which a soft microfiber or silicone shell is applied.
• The optimal power of the vacuum cleaner is from 300 to 500 watts.

Important! For a more thorough cleaning of the floor in the corners of the room, a special triangular brush for parquet is provided, on the sole of which there is a pile of felt or horse hair around the perimeter. This nozzle will gently remove accumulated dust in the corners of the room without damaging the protective coating of the floor and baseboards.

Parquet washer

Many people are puzzled by the question: is it possible to clean the floor with a washing vacuum cleaner, because wooden coatings are subject to the negative influence of moisture, which can deform the boards, as a result of which it will become unusable? It is strictly forbidden to use standard household appliances for wet cleaning, their design is often not tight, and too much moisture will remain on the wooden floor.

Given the increased demand for natural materials in flooring, many manufacturers of household appliances have developed and produced a specialized washing vacuum cleaner for laminate and parquet, the functionality of which allows wet cleaning of wooden floor coverings without overly moisturizing them.

Washing vacuum cleaners are divided into several types, due to the peculiarity of their design:

• Vertical construction.
• Horizontal

Vertical models

The vertical design of the vacuum cleaner has a motor located on top of tanks with detergent solutions and a filtration system, which allowed to increase the volume of the cleaning composition and the number of filtration elements. This type of cleaning equipment has large mass and dimensional indicators, which narrows the comfort of its use in small rooms. This is the main disadvantage of washing vacuum cleaners with a vertical design.

Horizontal models

The horizontal design has the motor located behind the container for solutions and filters, which positively affected the dimensions of the vacuum cleaner, which is practically indistinguishable from conventional models for dry cleaning. The volume of the cleaning solution does not exceed 11 liters. This type has excellent compactness, which makes it ideal for use in apartments with a small area.

How is wet cleaning done?

• The washing vacuum cleaner for the floorboard is equipped with two containers. A clean washing solution is poured into one container, and into the second the solution drains already worked out.
• The solution is supplied to the brush of the vacuum cleaner through a small tube drawn to its nozzle, which is equipped with a special brush with a protective layer of textile. It is she who undergoes moisturizing with a solution, thereby making the wooden floor wet, without excessively wetting it.
• At the end of wet cleaning, all containers with detergent must be removed from the vacuum cleaner and rinsed well. This will avoid clogging the supply and drainage system of the vacuum cleaner liquid, which will have a beneficial effect on extending the life of the device.
• Also, after each cleaning, you should carefully examine the used nozzle of the vacuum cleaner for the integrity of the microfiber layer. This is necessary to avoid leakage of cleaning fluid and excessive wetting of the parquet, which will damage its structure.

Important! After using ordinary vacuum cleaners, it is recommended to immediately clean the bag or garbage can, as spores of various fungi and dust mites can multiply in them. Also, a crowded container reduces the power of the unit, which negatively affects the quality of cleaning. Filters should be cleaned thoroughly.

• The complete set of the washing vacuum cleaner usually consists of several nozzles for parquet floors, which have different shapes, with the help of which wet cleaning is performed in hard-to-reach places and corners of the room.

The main advantage that a washing vacuum cleaner has for parquet is the possibility of cleaning more efficiently, spending a small amount of time on it.

Important! Wet cleaning of floors with a wooden decorative coating (parquet, parquet, laminate) with a washing vacuum cleaner can be done no more than a couple of times a month, otherwise there is a chance to spoil the floor.
