Vacuum cleaners are a part of almost every business and facility you can think of today. They are used in retail stores, school libraries, hospital waiting rooms, office buildings and many more spaces. That's because nearly every facility has some type of soft floor that needs to be vacuumed regularly.
The type of commercial vacuum an organization chooses is usually determined by preference, budget, and purpose. An often overlooked option is a canister vacuum cleaner.
For example, if an organization does a lot of cleaning during the day and needs something that doesn't interfere with people's work, they might choose canister vacuums because they are quieter than upright vacuums.
Canister vacuums have long been a staple in commercial and residential cleaning operations. They come with a range of advantages, and in this blog we'll explore both types of canister vacuums and seven advantages of using canister vacuums for your everyday cleaning.
What is a Canister Vacuum?
Canister vacuums can clean a variety of surfaces, so they're great in facilities with a variety of floor types.
Because canister vacuums have small, maneuverable cleaning heads, they can clean under tables and furniture with ease.
They can also navigate around obstacles and fit into tight spaces. Another bonus: Canister vacuums are generally quieter than upright vacuums, making them ideal for noise-sensitive environments like hospitals.
Two types of canister vacuum cleaners
There are generally two types of canister vacuums: wet and dry and dry.
The wet-dry method, as the name suggests, can be used to clean up wet spills, such as water or even oily residue. They also clean up dry spills, just like other common debris that vacuums up. Some wet and dry models can even help manage flooded areas. They are ideal for cleaning professionals such as contract cleaners and cleaning companies working in harsh conditions.
Dry canister vacuums are great for cleaning dust and grime from soft floor areas like hotel rooms or offices. They can also be used on hard floors in restaurants or small retail stores. Their ability to clean both hard and soft floors without interfering with nearby activities makes them a versatile tool for cleaning facilities.
Seven Benefits and Advantages of Canister Vacuum Cleaners
1. Easily clean hard-to-reach areas. They feature flexible hoses and long cleaning wands that allow you to easily maneuver and clean a variety of surfaces. The hose can reach under tables, chairs, tight corners and even clean stairs or ceiling areas with the help of the attachment.
2. Move easily and efficiently. Wheels help workers easily and efficiently move the vacuum cleaner from one space to another. The Tennant line of canister vacuums even allow the user to work without the added stress and are designed for efficient and ergonomic use.
3..Light. Compared to upright vacuums, canister vacuums are lighter and easier to carry.
4. Better suction and cleaning ability. They generally have better suction and flow, which means your cleaning team can clean easier and faster. The design allows for more efficient airflow resulting in better suction. Making them effective at removing dirt, debris, and even pet hair from carpets and hard floors.
5. Quieter and less distractions. Canister vacuums are quieter than other types of vacuum cleaners, which can be helpful in quiet environments like hospitals and school libraries. You can also schedule daytime cleanings without disturbing nearby work.
6. Flexible adapter and tool options. The tool selection for canister vacuums is extensive. This helps cleaners effectively clean all types of surfaces. Crevice tools, small brush tools, dry floor tools, and carpet tools are all helpful in cleaning all types of floors and debris.
7. Larger filter and capacity. Since the weight is evenly distributed on the wheels, canister vacuums typically have larger motors, which means they can support larger filters as well.
