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 »

Dirt Devil 085805 Bagless Vacuum Review

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 27 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

The Dirt Devil has been a popular and well-known brand name in the vacuum cleaner marketplace. Now there is a full-size model available that is both powerful and bagless – the Dirt Devil 085805. FeaturesAny vacuum needs a powerful motor to be considered effective at cleaning, and the 085805 does not disappoint in that area. It comes equipped with a 12 amp motor, more than enough power to pick up the toughest dirt and pet hair. One feature of this Dirt Devil model that one might notice first is its light weight compared to other similar models. The vacuum itself glides easily and can adapt quickly to a variety floor heights and carpet thicknesses. The 085805 is bagless and includes a MicroFresh filtration system that traps over 99 percent of dust and allergens, according to the manufacturer. Bags or Bagless?Much has been said about the advantages and disadvantages of bagless over bagged model vacuum cleaners. Ultimately, the choice comes down to personal opinion. With that being said however, the Dirt Devil 085805 gets a thumbs up for its bagless design and performance. One aspect that consumers seem to love about this Dirt Devil model is the ability to pick up pet hair quickly and with great ease. If you have pets that shed, a reliable vacuum is mandatory. Where the 085805 model shines is its ability to not only extract pet hair from carpet and furniture, but also the fact that its bagless designs keeps the hair and microscopic particles from being released back into the air. Design FeaturesAs with many modern vacuums on the market today, this vacuum’s power switch is located at the base of the vacuum and is foot-operated. Because of its location so close to the motor, the area around the on/off switch is prone to become hot when used for long periods of time. The power cord also comes out from the bottom of the machine. This design can be annoying at times because many users report that it is easy to get the machine caught underneath the power cord. This situation can be avoided by holding a portion of the cord in your hand as you vacuum. To do this all the time does get old after awhile. On a more positive note, the machine does not require manual winding of the cord when the job is complete. Simply flip a plastic tab and the cord will self wind in an instant. Noise LevelIf you are searching for a super quiet vacuum than this Dirt Devil is not for you. However, it is no louder than any other average vacuum cleaner on the market today. Let’s face it, vacuum cleaners are generally not designed for super quiet operation. If you don’t mind the normal sound of a vacuum, than this model will suit you fine. Bagless ConvenienceIf you are tired of buying and inserting vacuum cleaner bags than you will love the simplicity of this canister model vacuum. The contents of the canister can easily be emptied directly into the trash can.   It is suggested that the filter should be emptied and cleaned out of doors since it is tricky to clean without spilling dust indoors. Some users find that emptying the canister after each use a little annoying, especially because the filter invariably gets hair and dust embedded inside its grooves. Again, this is personal preference and may not be a problem for you unless you have above average pet hair or if your house gets overly dirty from lots of foot traffic. AttachmentsThe Dirt Devil 085805 comes with the usual attachments for vacuuming those hard to reach places. First detach the intake hose from the base, then connect the extension hose to the intake hose located on the right front of the machine. Some may find this inconvenient when having to reach down to the ground each time the attachments are used. RatingWe all want our vacuums to do one thing well – pick up as much dirt and dust as possible. In this area, the Dirt Devil 085805 shines. Its light weight and ease in manueverability are another advantage. A few more carefully thought out design areas would have been nice, but overall this vacuum cleaner is an excellent machine for the money.   Overall rating?  4 our of 5 stars.   Priced at under $75, the Dirt Devil  085805 bagless vacuum is a machine should serve you well.

What is the Roomba?

Posted by Modern Vacuum On July - 25 - 2009ADD COMMENTS

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.
