Hello Homemakers'. Vacuum
cleaners have come a long way
from their original job ,of
straight carpet cleaning. So, if
you are shopping for a new one,
you will find them equipped .with
tools to shoulder the major por
tion of your cleaning tasks. The
attachments run all the way from
upholstery and floor brushes to
spraying tools for paint, insecti
cide and moth-proofing.
However, the first requirement
of your electric cleaner is effect
ive rug cleaning. Tests show that
more than 85 per cent of all dirt
in a room gets into the carpet.
Cleaners can be classified 3
ways according to their construc
tion: (1) straight suction clean
ers, which have no moving parts
on the nozzle opening, are avail
able in upright or tank-type
models; (2) motor driven brush
cleaners have a rotating brush
within the nozzle; and (3)
motor-driven agitator cleaners
have a rotating cylinder equipped
with bristles i
smooth vibrator
tating brushes
driven by means
even when the
stationary position.
Take A Tip
1. The weight of a vacuum
cleaner is not a test of its ef
ficiency, and you will be happier
with one that can be easily car
ried from room to room whether
it’s upright or tank-type. ,
2. Inquire about
guarantee before
reliable cleaners
guarantee.
3. In ■ upright
nozzle must be adjusted to the
thickness of the rug to clean
effectively. Some .models adjust
automatically and others have a
foot pedal for this purpose.
4. The efficiency of any clean
er, whether tank or upright, de
pends upon the condition of the
bag or filter. Check to see that
they can be easily removed and <
cleaned and what provision is [
made for replacing filters. >
5. Attachments, especially with ■
the tank type, should be . light1
and easy to connect. There
should be a convenient carrier
for storing tools.
G. It’s important to have three
easily-adjusted handle positions
in the upright cleaners—upright
for storing, operating position,
and a low position for cleaning
under furniture.
7. Check for soft bumpers on
front and corners, and for con
venient switch.
Operation Of ('leaner
Just a few simple cleaning
practises will net best results
from your investment:
1. Clean often. Daily cleaning
will prevent a great deal of sur
face dirt from becoming embed
ded in the rugs and corners.
2. Clean slowly. Allow at least
ten minutes for a 9 x 12 rug.
Youi' cleaner cannot do an ef
fective job at high speed flight
across the surface.
3. Make use of attachments.
Tools represent wasted money if
they are tucked away in the back
of the closet. These gadgets do
an easier and more effective job
for many cleaning problems.
4. Keep the cleaner in work
ing order. Empty the bag often
— after each use. Comb the
brushes. Read the instructions
carefully and keep booklets and
guarantee handy. Follow the
manufacturer’s directions to oil.
Do not wind the cord too tightly
on the guards. Never run over
the cord or yank it from the wall
plug.
airs* C. R. asks: How do you
fumigate upholstered furniture?
Answer: Clean the furniture
thoroughly with cleaning gadget
especially along the seams. Place
one pound of moth crystals in
the moth control device and at
tach to the cleaner at bag out
let. Disconnect the belt on the
motor brushes, if there is a belt.
Turn the switch on. Covei' both
the cleaner and furniture with
heavy paper and a heavy blanket
on top. Hold the lower edges of
blanket to floor with books. Con
nect the cord at electric outlet
and let cleaner operate for at
least two hours. At the end of
this period disconnect the cord
but leave furniture undisturbed
for at least three days.
