subject: Ever Tried A cordless Carpet Sweeper [print this page] Now if that didnt get your attention, youre just not focused on saving the planet with one small action at a time. No matter. Its never too late to begin. One way might be by choosing to give a cordless carpet sweeper a whirl for smaller jobs around the house.
Were talking about a device that picks up lint and dirt from your carpet without using electricity. Yes, that does translate into people power to push, but its not that bad, unless were talking a serious amount of shag. And it does that too.
So basically, this is the inside equivalent of the push reel mower; the good news is that, unlike the lawn at your cottage, your carpet wont outgrow it. Push reel mowers are not the best option when youre faced with a wild lawn. I suggest a sickle instead.
Heading back to the subject of carpets, another positive point worth noting is that these sweepers can also take out the dirt and dust on outdoor carpets, as well as on tiles and non-carpeted floors.
While it cannot replace the trusty vacuum cleaner when it comes to deep cleaning, it is a handy companion to have around. Its especially useful outdoors in the summer when youre preparing for guests to descend on your outdoor pathways and they could use a bit of love and attention.
Were talking the usual suspects: hair, crumbs from that cake-eating television marathon, or those midnight cookies on the run.
When scouting for a carpet sweeper, there are a few things to keep in mind. Youll want to pick up something lightweight, but well built, with a protective bumper and nicely-designed dustpans responsible for collecting your debris. Be on the lookout for something that is very portable, perhaps even collapsible, for easy storage, along with sturdy brushes and a metal handle. Pick one with accessories and a good set of wheels.
Its also reminiscent of an old-fashioned tiller, dont you think? Though it has the opposite effect on whatever has been planted in your fuzzy field.
This household time-saver will enable you to keep things tidier in a more efficient way, especially with a house full of children and pets. How many little spills and hairballs can you log in a week? You get the picture.
Note that for optimum efficiency, youll want to check and empty the dustbin after each spin. That way you wont have to stop halfway through the job.
Because there is no electricity flowing through the unit, you can maintain it differently. For example, if it needs a bit of cleaning to improve dust pick-up, simply dampen the brushes and off you go.
If you invest in a quality product, you should be able to push it round your place for a good long while. Your carpets, indoors and out, will be well swept.
So, what are you waiting for? Get out there and test-drive an environmentally-friendly carpet sweeper. Mother Nature will thank you. Every little action counts.
