Did you know that we spend an average of 70 to 90% of our time indoors during the day. Home, work, school, car, public transport - our everyday life is doomed to closed spaces. All of these places are full of dust, hair, animal hair, food scraps, and loads of other particles constantly accumulating around us. Living with them is inevitable, but we have an influence on establishing the rules of this coexistence. The rule is simple - the less pollution the better. We will disenchant you with the not-so-liked vacuuming duty and make taking care of the order every day a pleasure. You don't believe? Check it out for yourself.
What is dust?
Dust is nothing more than a mixture of various small residues that accumulate on the floor, furniture, curtains and carpets. Most dust accumulates in places where the air is still. The spaces under the bed, behind the wardrobe or under the sofa are just perfect. At first glance, dust has an extremely simple composition - it consists of sand applied from the outside, remains of human epidermis, animal hair, human hair. Upon closer examination, it turns out that it also includes fungi, mites, biphenyls, methoxychlor, propoxur, pentachlorophenol, and phthalate plasticizers. The Consumer Product Chemicals in Indoor Dust study found that dust can contain up to 45 chemicals that are suspected of having a negative effect on human he alth.
Dust and allergy
Did you know that dust is the cause of 80% of allergic reactions. It is influenced, among other things, by its complex composition. Dust is the habitat of microscopic arachnids called mites, which unfortunately do not benefit our he alth very well. Their faeces are full of allergens that cause an allergy to house dust and aggravate the already existing allergy. Symptoms include shortness of breath, itching and coughing. As mentioned above, dust is composed of many other harmful particles, including, for example, volatile organic compounds and animal hair, which, like dust mites, can cause allergic reactions. Importantly, the individual dust components remain in a constant symbiosis.
How do you like vacuuming?
Heavy and uncomfortable vacuum cleaners with a cable that hang around the house are everyone's banehousehold member. Reaching hard-to-reach gaps, such as the space under the bed, sofa or behind furniture, can discourage even the greatest fans of order. For this the need to constantly bend down. In the case of a large two-story house, regaining vertical posture after vacuuming is not the easiest task, even for a young person. Fortunately, manufacturers of household appliances are closely watching the market, proposing appliances that are better and better suited to the needs of consumers. The companySharpin its latest line of cordless vacuum cleaners surprises with solutions that increase the comfort of cleaning.
First of all, the device is light (weighs just over 3.5 kg) and is equipped with an inverter motor that guarantees high suction power, high efficiency and quiet operation. Particularly noteworthy is the vertical design of the vacuum cleaner. Regardless of whether we want to take a break, move a piece of furniture or open the door,the device will remain vertical, will not tip over and patiently wait for you to return to work .Depending on the height or the area to be cleaned, the length of the telescopic tube can also be adjusted. We have a 7-step scale at our disposal, ranging from 890 mm to 1100 mm .
On the other hand, the click-type mechanism enables a solid connection of the device and accessories without the risk of disconnecting during use. Thanks to a small, practical charger, you can connect the device to any electrical socket, adding it where you need it at the moment. No cable, a display showing the battery charge level and a working time of up to 60 minutes make vacuuming a chore a pleasure. Literally! As psychologist Justyna Kaczmarczyk emphasizes in an interview with the Hellozdrowie.pl portal, cleaning is an activity that engages us physically, and physical exertion improves our well-being and mood. For people who work mentally and spend many hours at a desk or computer, engaging in cleaning can be a springboard and a way to a kind of "head airing". Homework can also have a deeper, second bottom. As she emphasizes, they give many people a sense of control and influence on their lives.
How to vacuum effectively?
Efficiency is the most important feature of the device that has a direct impact on our he alth. The vacuum cleaner should be equipped with an option to regulate the suction power, as well as at least a few different attachments. Why? Precisely because of the efficiency of work. Remember that each surface requires a slightly different approach. And so we vacuum the rug full of dog hairunlike blinds or the space behind the couch. Here Sharp meets our needs again.

After filling the container for dirt, we can empty it immediately, and the container only needs to be rinsed under running water. The collected dirt does not accumulate in the device and does not escape, and we have full control over the cleanliness.
