Vacuum cleaner device for parquet
Parquet is a wooden floor covering on which one or several layers of varnish have been applied. This is done both for aesthetic purposes and also to protect against scratches, water, impacts and other factors that can cause premature wear. It is clear that cleaning such a covering must be approached carefully in order to maintain the attractive appearance of the floor.
The best option is to use a special cleaning vacuum cleaner for parquet boards. The device can operate in 2 modes at once:
- Dry cleaning.
- Wet cleaning.
The first method is used for standard dust cleaning of any coatings or furniture. However, in the case of varnished wooden floors, cleaning is best done using the so-called wet method. To do this, you need to understand how a vacuum cleaner for parquet boards works.
The fundamental difference is the presence of 2 containers:
- with clean water;
- with waste liquid.
Water is poured into the first container along with detergent.It enters the brush of the unit, flowing down a narrow tube with a layer of microfiber fabric. After moistening, it is this layer that cleans the surface, wetting it evenly and without exposing it to too much moisture.
The waste liquid flows into the second container - after cleaning it is easy to wash it off, and then clean the container itself so as not to clog the water during the next treatment. It is also recommended to carefully inspect the microfiber, as it can also become clogged. If necessary, the user can independently select the desired cleaning mode, switching from dry to wet and vice versa.
Washing vacuum cleaners come with quite a lot of attachments of different shapes and sizes. They allow you to effectively clean not only open areas, but also hard-to-reach places, including the corners of the room. Therefore, cleaning occurs with greater productivity and at the same time with minimal effort.
