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. and two glass­ bars. These ro- are electrically of a rubber belt cleaner is in a the motor you buy.
