The better to wash the floors - choose equipment and accessories

Robot cleaning vacuum cleaners, cordless and wired appliances all look very attractive in advertising. Only the buyer is not completely sure of the choice, since the price for the devices is not yet as affordable as they would like. In this article, we will provide the most popular household floor cleaning tools. And we will be extremely tough in our choice, because our main task is cleanliness in the house.

 

How to clean the floors in the house - types of coverage

 

At the stage of selection, it is better to start with the type of coatings. After all, they are different for each consumer. Carpets, laminate, tiles, parquet, carpet and so on. This is where the paths for potential customers diverge. Since it is the type of coverage that determines which device is better to choose. If we are talking about fabric-based materials, then it can be washed (or rather, it is possible) only with a washing vacuum cleaner.

All robotic equipment will not complete the task, even by 1%. And whatever the manufacturer says. If you don't believe it, grab your rug and visit a hardware store. Let the manager show all the abilities of the robotic vacuum cleaners. They have no chance.

 

In this article we will talk about cleaning hard types of surfaces - tiles, parquet and laminate. Here you can add concrete screeds and other coverings made of ceramics, composites, stone, and so on.

 

5th place - mains powered washing vacuum cleaner

 

When we say “washing vacuum cleaner”, we mean Karcher. We hear "Karcher" - we understand that we have a cool washing vacuum cleaner in front of us. This is a really high-quality home cleaning equipment, designed for daily cleanliness. And if you need a cool washing vacuum cleaner, then it is better to buy products from the Karcher brand. There are good analogues of Bosch and Thomas. All equipment is located in the middle price segment and demonstrates high efficiency in work.

But there is one "but". Vacuum cleaners are effective for cleaning carpets. They honestly collect wool, garbage, wash away dirt - they create coziness in the house. And they are even able to wash upholstered furniture. In the context of hard floors, the efficiency is also high, but after cleaning the floor will dry for a long time. Since the technique does not spare water - it pours it on a solid basis from the heart. And for laminate and parquet, it is destructive.

 

4th place - robot vacuum cleaner

 

Autonomous cleaning equipment is a real salvation for lazy people who value their time. And in terms of dry cleaning, robotic vacuum cleaners have no competitors. Moreover, on any type of surface, these kids will complete the task with an efficiency of up to 100%. But the quality of the floor cleaning is still too low. And let all manufacturers bang their heads and prove productivity. A cleaning robot vacuum cleaner is not able to bring joy to the owner.

The main problem is the coordination of movements. All these constructions of maps that were invented at Xiaomi are reduced to zero if it is corny to move the table or chair. The vacuum cleaner goes crazy and can't figure out how to clean the floor. Plus, these stains are on laminate or parquet flooring. Is it really impossible to come up with a nozzle that polishes the surface.

 

If you want to buy a robot vacuum cleaner, then trust your choice to trusted brands. Well-proven: Xiaomi, Viomi, iRobot, Ecovacs, MiJia. Samsung and Rowenta have interesting solutions, but they have expensive consumables.

 

3rd place - washing cordless vacuum cleaner

 

This is a wonderful device for cleaning floors. A little skill and you can achieve great results. The equipment can clean the floor, windows, walls, furniture and practically does not leave streaks. The weak point of cordless vacuum cleaners for cleaning floors is autonomy. Manufacturers focus on power, but no one talks about the battery life on a single charge.

For a standard 2-room apartment of 50 meters, if you quickly walk on the floor with a vacuum cleaner, the battery will be enough. But as soon as you hook on corners, a battery or a baseboard, the charge quickly dries up. And who needs a mobile vacuum cleaner that needs to be put on charge again without finishing cleaning. The most interesting thing is that there is a lot of negativity on the washing cordless vacuum cleaners. Only sellers remove these reviews from their sites - you can find them on independent marketplaces.

 

2nd place - flat mop for wet cleaning of floors

 

If you want to do well, do it yourself, with your own hands. This axiom is best suited for cleaning floors. The mop is such a tool that is presented in the store with hundreds of solutions. There are options with manual and semi-automatic squeezing, fixing the rag in different ways. They even offer to buy deck mops - the very ones with which it is convenient to move dust from place to place.

It is easy to buy a flat mop for wet cleaning. The main thing is to simplify the operation of wringing the rag and fixing it on the mop. We prefer the microfiber clamping mechanism, which easily collects dust and quickly fixes to the mop. And also, the clamping mechanism itself is important. The simpler the design, the fewer problems with it. It's like a Kalashnikov assault rifle - fewer parts and high reliability.

 

1st place - manual wet cleaning with a rag

 

And don't be indignant. Extremely clean cleaning can only be achieved by hand work. Pick up debris or dust from the corner, collect dust particles, remove stains on the floor. There is nothing like manual cleaning. By the way, to manually remove a 2-room apartment of 50 square meters, you need to spend 500 kilocalories. That is, daily cleaning is an ideal figure for all people.

For manual cleaning, it is better to use microfiber. But if there is a thirst to save money as much as possible, any jacket and T-shirt, which is time to throw out of the wardrobe, will do. This is a kind of a tool that helps to get rid of unnecessary things.

 

The best way to clean the floors - with a vacuum cleaner or by hand

 

The answer is obvious - only the use of physical effort will help to achieve perfect cleaning in the house. For several millennia, nothing has changed. All of these technical devices are good, but not perfect. House cleaning is a choice between convenience and cleanliness. Each user sets his own priorities.

 

If we talk about technology, it is better to buy a robot vacuum cleaner. It is not as effective as we would like, but with frequent use it will solve the user's problems. Lovers of cleanliness need to take a mop or rag in their hands, and put things in order on their own. Perhaps in the future, our problems will be solved by android robots. But now you just need to prioritize yourself.
