East at home tips!

Vacuums cost money, but cleaning other hard surfaces doesn’t have to. Whatever you’re cleaning needs, you can find products around the house to make a homemade cleaner that will effectively clean different parts of your home. Many people like the idea of mixing their own homemade floor cleaner. In addition to saving money, many people like the idea of using natural products to clean, rather than toxic chemicals that can harm your health and damage the eco system. There are many different ways to mix every day products to make different cleaners.

General Purpose Floor Cleaners

If you want to make a basic floor cleaner that can be used in your bare floor cleaning machine, mix 1/3 cup of Borax with one gallon of warm water. Add one teaspoon of liquid dishwashing detergent and a tablespoon of ammonia. This solution makes a fine floor cleaning product that will not only remove tough stains, but will disinfect your kitchen and bathroom floors. To clean your wood floors, go to the pantry and mix ½ cup of white vinegar and ½ cup of vegetable oil. This natural solution will make your wood floors shine like new. The vinegar acts to remove stains and the oil helps to maintain the luster of the wood. If you have Pergo floors, you can mix 1/3 cup of white vinegar, 1/3 cup rubbing alcohol, 1/3 cup water and three drop of dishwashing liquid to make a fantastic floor cleaner. This solution can also be used in your bare floor cleaner, or with a mop. To clean a linoleum floor, mix one tablespoon of liquid soap, a quarter cup of baking soda to two gallons of hot water. Add ¼ cup of white vinegar to the mix and you have an excellent linoleum floor cleaner. This solution also works very well on tile floors. Read the rest of this entry »

What is the Roomba?

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 25 - 2009

Roomba_500_irobotWith its release of the Roomba series of personal home and office robotic vacuum cleaners, iRobot has transformed the vacuuming world. The Roomba vacuum is a nifty, little device that it pretty much set and forget. Its intelligence, scanners and sensors all work together to make sure every cleaning mission is accomplished successfully and it’s very thorough about it. Roomba vacuum cleaners are about the size of a large dinner plate and they scurry about the home or office in a search and destroy for just about anything you can sweep up. They are agile enough to operate over carpets and hard floors and little infrared sensors can be placed atop stairs to make sure they know where not to go.

iRobot designed these robotic vacuum cleaners with a circular, low profile design to navigate around almost any furniture, along walls and baseboards and under furniture. With millions sold world wide and a very happy customer base it’s easy to see that the Roomba vacuum cleaner is here to stay and why it has already given birth to off spring. The different versions of these vacuum cleaners include the Roomba Discovery, Roomba Sage, Roomba Scheduler and several others, all with different traits depending on the needs of the person who requires them and the cleaning jobs at hand.

All about vacuuming!

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 20 - 2009

There are many to choose from!

Article by BestBrandtoBuy

Vacuum cleaners have been around since over a century now. They are considered to be indispensable units for housecleaning purposes. They are known for their convenience and efficiency. Running a vacuum cleaner over the surface to be cleaned will effectively remove the dirt and dust present in that particular area. Vacuum cleaners are known to remove any object from the surface provided it is light enough for the suction that it creates and can enter its inlet valve.

One reason why vacuum cleaners are preferred over traditional cleaning equipment such as brooms and mops is that they do not need the mechanical force that these devices need and because they are much more effective at the cleaning process itself. One more advantage is that vacuum cleaners can be used on horizontal, vertical as well as inclined and inverted surfaces and can clean even inaccessible nooks and crannies easily, something that traditional cleaning devices cannot do.

Roomba Scheduler

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 20 - 2009

roomba560_sideviewI bet you have all seen the Roomba run around the house and clean floors. Now as an improvement of to earlier models, iRobot has come up with the Roomba Scheduler, the latest Roomba so far. It has the regular Roomba elements plus the famed scheduler feature. The Roomba Scheduler belongs to the third generation Roomba models and is released in 2005 by iRobot. It is available on the 560 model.

The Roomba Scheduler feature is what makes Roomba rock. The upgrade made room cleaning totally supervision-free. With this feature, you can set Roomba to work on a certain time of the day. Now Roomba can work even when you’re not at home or during the night when kids are asleep. With the same technology as the earlier Roombas, it cleans the entire floor using the random walk algorithm it is programmed with. It would cover the entire room for as long as there’s no virtual wall that would block its path. Read the rest of this entry »

Hoover S3765-040 Review

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 20 - 2009

Hoover S3765-040Hoover has made excellent vacuum cleaners for many years. With the recent popularity of canister vacuum cleaners, Hoover has produced a winner with its Windtunnel electronic bagless canister model, the S3765-040.

Design and Features

This vacuum cleaner is not an upright model, so keep that in mind as you compare this machine to others. The main unit sits on the floor with a detachable wand doing the actually cleaning work. Some would say the main unit resembles a prop from the Star Wars movie! This machine features a powerful motor with variable speed controls that controls the suction. All of the controls are designed so that the user can manipulate the vacuum with the touch of a finger. Because of its non-upright and low-profile design , you will find it easy to clean hard to reach places throughout your home. Reaching under furniture is a breeze with this Hoover model. The design is meant to be economic in nature, and users will find that the machine is easy to maneuver within most any average sized room. The entire unit weighs in at 31 pounds, but since the main unit is separated from the actual cleaning wand, it feels much lighter when actually being used. The metal wand of this machine easily detaches from the floor attachment by tapping on a release lever. The cord winds up easily and automatically and, although a bit stiff, it becomes more flexible overtime and use. Read the rest of this entry »
