There are several different types of floor care products, each offering different benefits. To help find the right type for your home checks out our handy list below:
Uprights vacuums are ideal for larger homes, especially those with a lot of carpeted areas. The brush will lift trodden in dirt and they are great for houses with pets.
These vacuums tend to be smaller and lighter, great for smaller homes. Cylinder vacuums work well on hard floors and are good for manoeuvring around furniture, cleaning stairs and upholstery.
Ideal for smaller homes. Stick vacuums are easy to use and generally lighter than other upright vacuums. They are good for wooden flooring and short carpet. Stick vacuums are cordless, making them even easier to manoeuvre around the home.
Light and battery-powered, cordless vacuums are great for a quick clean and for small areas in the home. Being cordless you are able to use them almost anywhere.
Steam cleaners provide hygienic cleaning using steam. They are highly versatile with the ability to clean a variety of surfaces including; carpets, hard floors, tiles, upholstery, windows and even ovens.
These nifty compact models are ideal for keeping on top of the cleaning. Set a robotic vacuum up and let it travel around your space picking up dust and dirt. Reducing your time spent on cleaning.
Cable length varies with different vacuum models. If you have a larger house then you should consider opting for a longer length to reduce the times you re-plug your vacuum as you clean through your house
The larger the litre capacity of the vacuum the less often you will need to empty it. Those with larger homes should opt for a larger capacity.
If your home has a lot of stairs or you find vacuuming your home quiet strenuous you should consider a lighter model or perhaps a model with longer tubes and appropriate attachments to avoid lifting the vacuum up the stairs. Cylinder and stick vacuums tend to be the lighter choice.
Vacuum power is measured in wattage, the higher wattage number the better the suction. Wattage needs to be considered more when going for a cylinder model as the dirt has further to travel to reach the bag or canister.
Bagless vacuums collect dust and dirt within a canister which you then empty with no fuss. Bagless vacuums also save you money as you won’t have the additional cost of buying new bags. Bagged vacuums tend to offer a larger capacity for collecting dirt and can be a good choice for asthma and allergy sufferers as they won’t come in to contact with any of the allergens when emptying the vacuum.
Stage filters – Filtering out the dust in stages. A typical vacuum has four stages; a double skinned bag, a filter between the motor and bag and a final filter.
Lifetime filters – Lasting the entire lifespan of the vacuum cleaner, without needing to be changed. Generally lasting between seven and ten years.
HEPA – The ideal option for allergy sufferers as these filters capture the smallest of dirt particles.
Charcoal – Great for pet owners as these filters include an extra charcoal layer that works to neutralise unpleasant odours.

If the majority of your home has wooden or hard flooring the best options are a cylinder vacuum or a stick vacuum. This is because these models generally do not have heavy beater brushes that can in some cases damage hard flooring. It is in most cases upright models that have beater brushes, however there are numerous upright models which now have a switch to change the brushes to be more appropriate for hard flooring. Steam cleaners are also an excellent option for hard flooring as they hygienically clean the surface with steam and bring out the floors natural sheen.
For homes with a lot of stairs or where the vacuum needs to be lifted frequently cylinder or cordless vacuums may be best suited. These vacuum types are known to be lighter, more compact and easier to transport around the home.
