How to choose the perfect professional vacuum cleaner for your business

Inside stores, hotels, restaurants, industries, warehouses, construction sites and bodyworks, it is essential to keep surfaces neat and clean at all times, both for aesthetics and safety purposes. Here, in fact, workers 

and customers must be able to move freely without the risk of tripping or slipping or falling due to a wet floor or the presence of coarse debris, but most importantly, employees must be able to work in a healthy environment where there is no dust or other particles in the air that are harmful to health.

Keeping surfaces clean and safe at all times, quickly, stress-free and effortlessly, however, is possible by relying on complete solutions dedicated to professional cleaning, such as the vacuum cleaner, which guarantees clean floors, even after just one wipe. But among so many available models, how to figure out which solution is best for your business? Let's find out together!

How do vacuum cleaners work?

For the removal of coarse debris, fine dust and all types of dirt that can settle within a work environment, the best solution for maintaining high standards of cleanliness and safety is to rely on a professional vacuum cleaner.

This product, thanks to the presence of one or more motors that generate an air vacuum, sucks in dust, liquids, slush, foliage, crushed stone, paper, plastic debris and all kinds of dirt, keeping surfaces neat and clean, even after one go.

This is possible due to the very structure of the vac, which consists of:

• Head, with one or more rotating motors to generate the vacuum needed to carry out the suction;
• Filter system which, thanks to the presence of the filter (cartridge, bag, or fabric) separates dry dust from clean air, allowing it to be reintroduced into the environment;
• Collection container, made of plastic or metal, that collects the vacuumed material;
• Suction hose in various diameters and lengths. Connected to the collection container, it is maneuvered by the operator, thus collecting dirt even in the most difficult places.

In order to always achieve maximum results according to individual work and industry needs, it is also possible to choose from various types of vacuum cleaners, each characterized by specific features:

• Vacuum cleaners, which allow dry dust and fine particles to be vacuumed up;
• Wet vacuums, which in addition to dry dust can also vacuum up liquid or wet residues. There is also inside an “overflow” safety system which, thanks to a float, stops the suction in case the liquid is too much.
• Carpet cleaners, ideal for cleaning the floors of hospitality facilities, but also for use inside car washes, allowing thorough cleaning of the interiors of all types of vehicles. This, in fact, not only removes all kinds of dust and liquids, but also allows washing of all interior components of the vehicle, as well as fabrics and seats through the injection/extraction function of the washing solution.

By gaining a better understanding of the features of each appliance, it is thus possible to access the most suitable solution for your company, optimizing your investment and achieving the expected result, right from the first use.

Which vac to choose for Horeca and trade

In Horeca commercial sectors, thus intended for hospitality, such as hotels, restaurants, bars and stores, continuous trampling can generate quite a lot of dirt, with dust, slush and crushed stone coming from outside.

To ensure visitors have a good experience in your venue and to provide workers with a healthy working environment, it is important to rely on comprehensive and effective solutions such as professional vacs.

To identify the right product to use, it is important to evaluate:

• The type and frequency of use;
• The type and size of the environment to be cleaned;
• The type of dirt to be removed.

In addition, for the Horeca sector it is recommended to choose very quiet models so as to avoid annoying customers or guests.

Starting from these features, it will then be possible to go on to assess a number of characteristics, such as structure, weight, suction power, dirt collection system, type of filters, drum material, noise and accessories.

Let's give some examples:

• in stores, it can be useful to opt for a compact and handy model that can move quickly between shelves;
• for hotels, on the other hand, depending on size, it may be worthwhile to opt for solutions that are very powerful with high performance, but above all, very quiet. It may also be useful to combine a compact carpet cleaner, for thorough cleaning of rooms, especially those with carpet on the floor. This allows surfaces to be thoroughly washed without leaving fabrics damp;
• for restaurants and bars an excellent solution is to rely on a vacuum cleaner/wet vacuum cleaner, which will quickly remove food and drinks that may inadvertently be spilled on floors.

Finally, for restaurants and hotels that have barbecues, fireplaces or pellet stoves, a great product that cannot be missed is the ash extractor which, with its special filter, collects even the finest dust, ensuring an excellent level of cleanliness.

Which industrial vacuum cleaner to choose for your company or construction site

Even within construction sites, industries, bodyworks and carpentries, it is important to maintain safe and, above all, healthy work environments, protecting the well-being of workers.

Here are some essential features to consider when choosing the best industrial vacuum cleaner for your business:

• within construction sites, between excavation, demolition and concrete mixers and the continuous handling of cement, sand and lime dust, it is normal for large amounts of hazardous dust to be generated. To ensure a healthy working environment, it is important to purchase special and highly specialized industrial vacuum cleaners that are ideal for collecting processing dust. This will help protect both workers and the surrounding environment;

• within the metalworking industry it is normal for large quantities of metal shavings, scrap, waste oil and liquid and solid debris to be produced. Here it is important to choose a high-performing vacuum cleaner, with a collection and filter system, and equipped with accessories that are ideal for machine tool maintenance. This will make it possible to speed up each intervention, while also reducing machine downtime during cleaning;
• in carpentry and bodyworks, it is normal for discrete amounts of fine dust to leak into the air, which in the long run can increase the risk of respiratory diseases. For this reason, it is important to rely on industrial vacs with a good filter system, long hoses and good suction power.

Taking into account the working environment and the purpose of use, you can thus choose the best industrial or professional vacuum cleaner on the market, capable of adapting to the individual needs of use and allowing you to always achieve a healthy, safe, clean environment, while protecting people.
