The home is where we spend a lot of our daily lives, which can often lead to dirt and mess accumulating, especially in larger family abodes. If you’ve put the idea of vacuuming your home at the back of your mind for a while now, you can expect to see a variety of consequences for not regularly cleaning your home.
1. Dust mites = allergies
Dust mites are pesky little creatures that find solace in dirty areas of your home. These mites breed and produce waste that can contribute towards terrible allergies. You can keep on top of this problem by regularly vacuuming up dust and dirt, even with a useful little handheld vacuum like this refurbished Hoover cordless handheld vacuum cleaner.
2. Stained, dull and worn carpets
Did you know that old, hardened dirt can act like small razor blades, gradually destroying your lovely carpet? As you walk around the home, these “blades” of dirt can scratch up your carpet and dull the fibres, making it more prone to staining. If staining has taken place, try some deep cleaning with this refurbished Vax Dual Power upright carpet washer.
3. Breeding bacteria
Whilst your carpet may look clean from the surface, it can be a great breeding ground for unwanted bacteria. Bacteria can nestle its way between carpet fibres and rapidly reproduce, especially if there is existing dirt there already.
4. Bed bug infection
We’ve all heard of them – these critters like to live in bedding and soft furnishings around the home. If you don’t vacuum regularly, it’s easier for them to spread around your home. This Vytronix 3 in 1 handheld stick vacuum cleaner can stop them in their tracks whilst eliminating the problem.
5. Your home becomes cluttered and messy
Nothing looks nicer than a fresh and clean carpet. It can make your living room look spacious and organised, providing a lovely place to sit with the family. Chances are if you’ve put off the vacuuming, mess and clutter have taken over your lounge. To vacuum, you’ll need to have a clear up first!
6. Mould
The dreaded substance that is mould can spread around a dirty home. Not only is this unsightly, but it can also cause a whole host of problems including skin irritation and even respiratory issues. If mould has already made its way into your home you can keep on top of it using a handy steamer like this Vax S4 handheld steamer.
7. Musty and unpleasant odours
Bacteria and fungus that accumulate in your carpets can cause unpleasant odours in your home. The only way you can freshen up your carpets and the smell of your home is with proper vacuuming, followed by regular washing.
8. Pet hair takes over
If you’re a pet owner, you’ll know that pet hair seems to find its way everywhere around your home. If you don’t keep on top of regularly cleaning it out, it can soon build up to be unsightly, as well as create the perfect environment for bacteria. If you’re suffering from a fluff invasion, try this refurbished Vytronix cyclonic bagless pet cylinder vacuum cleaner.
9. A dirty looking home
Whether it’s carpets or hard floors, any surface can look unappealing when it’s dirty. If you combine an intensive clean with a steamer followed up with regular vacuuming, you can make your floors and other surfaces look as good as new.
10. You have to replace your carpets
Like with most household items, your carpets will have a lifespan. Dirtier carpets mean a shorter lifespan, resulting in you having to fork out hundreds of pounds to replace your floorings.
