The EyeVac touchless vacuum is an innovative cleaning tool that makes tidying up quick and easy. Designed to automatically suck up debris when you sweep it towards the unit, the EyeVac is a convenient addition to any home, especially in high-traffic areas. However, to maximize its effectiveness, it’s important to use proper sweeping techniques. In this article, we’ll explore tips for effective sweeping that will help you get the most out of your EyeVac, ensuring your floors are as clean as possible with minimal effort.
The type of broom you use can significantly impact the effectiveness of your sweeping. Choosing the right broom for your flooring type and cleaning needs will make it easier to gather dirt and debris effectively.
For hard floors like tile, hardwood, or laminate, a soft-bristle broom is ideal. Soft bristles effectively capture dust and fine particles without scratching the surface of the floor. These brooms are particularly good at gathering pet hair and small debris.
If you need to sweep outdoor areas or rough surfaces, such as garages or entryways, a stiff-bristle broom works best. The stiffer bristles can handle larger debris and more stubborn dirt that may be harder to sweep with a soft-bristle broom.
Angle brooms have bristles cut at an angle, making it easier to reach into corners and tight spaces. These are particularly useful in small rooms or around furniture, where debris tends to accumulate.
Rubber-bristle brooms are designed to attract and collect hair, so it’s perfect for home with pets. As a bonus, rubber brooms are ideal for removing pet hair from rugs and carpets.
One of the most effective ways to sweep is to break the area into smaller sections. This method ensures you capture all the debris without missing spots.
Divide the room into manageable sections, and sweep each area thoroughly before moving on to the next. This approach prevents debris from being pushed around the room and allows for more efficient use of your EyeVac.
Pay special attention to high-traffic zones where dirt and debris accumulate more quickly. These areas should be swept more frequently to prevent buildup and maintain a cleaner environment.
Proper sweeping technique is crucial for effectively gathering debris and getting the most out of your EyeVac.
Begin sweeping from the edges of the room and work your way towards the center or towards your EyeVac. This technique helps corral debris toward the vacuum rather than spreading it around the room.
Short, controlled sweeping strokes are more effective than long, wide strokes. This technique helps gather all the dirt in one place, making it easier to sweep it toward the EyeVac without losing debris along the way.
Sweeping in a consistent direction (e.g., left to right) helps ensure that you capture all the debris in each section. This consistency also makes it easier to direct the dirt toward the EyeVac for easy disposal.
Where you place your EyeVac can greatly influence its effectiveness. Proper placement allows you to maximize the unit’s ability to capture debris quickly and efficiently.
Place the EyeVac near areas where debris tends to accumulate, such as the kitchen, entryway, or living room. This makes it easier to sweep debris directly into the vacuum without having to move the dirt across the room.
Ensure the EyeVac is in a visible and accessible location so it’s easy to use whenever needed. If the unit is hidden or hard to reach, you’re less likely to incorporate it into your daily routine.
Make sure you choose a location near a plug to power your EyeVac. The cord is 6 feet long, giving you plenty of options!
For your EyeVac to perform optimally, it’s important to regularly empty its canister. A full canister can reduce suction power and decrease the efficiency of the vacuum.
A red status indicator light illuminates when your EyeVac’s bagless canister is full and ready to be emptied. Simply remove the canister and empty into a trash can. It’s a good habit to wipe clean the canister when you empty to avoid any build-up. Just be sure it is dry before you replace it!
The EyeVac is equipped with vacuum filters that trap dust and allergens. Cleaning or replacing these filters will help maintain the unit’s suction power and keep your home’s air quality high. Simply clean with warm water and mild soap, then dry completely before returning the filters to your EyeVac. With proper care, the filters will last for the life of your EyeVac.
To get the most out of your EyeVac, it should be an integral part of your daily or weekly cleaning routine.
Perform quick sweeps of high-traffic areas every day. Use the EyeVac to dispose of the debris easily, ensuring that your floors remain clean without a lot of effort.
During your weekly deep cleaning, use the EyeVac as a final step to pick up any remaining dust and debris after you’ve swept or vacuumed the entire area. This helps ensure that no dirt is left behind.
While the EyeVac is highly effective, using complementary tools can enhance your overall cleaning routine.
A handheld vacuum can be used in conjunction with the EyeVac to clean areas that are hard to reach with a broom, such as baseboards or under furniture. After using the handheld vacuum, the EyeVac can take care of any remaining debris.
For larger areas or when dealing with fine dust, a dust mop can be used to gather debris before using the EyeVac. This is particularly useful on hardwood or tile floors, where dust can spread easily.
If you live with others, training family members to use the EyeVac effectively ensures that everyone contributes to keeping the home clean. Many customers report that having an EyeVac makes sweeping more fun and even encourages kids to clean!
Show everyone how to properly sweep and use the EyeVac, emphasizing the importance of directing debris toward the unit for easy disposal.
Encourage regular use of the EyeVac by making it part of the household’s daily cleaning routine. The more frequently it’s used, the easier it becomes to maintain a clean and tidy home.
By following these tips and incorporating the EyeVac into your daily cleaning routine, you can enjoy a cleaner home with less effort. Effective sweeping techniques, combined with the convenience of the EyeVac, allow you to quickly and efficiently manage dirt, dust, and debris in your living spaces. Whether you’re dealing with everyday messes or tackling a deep cleaning session, the EyeVac proves to be an invaluable tool in maintaining a tidy and inviting home.
