What's really in my carpet?
Between pets, kids, guests, mealtimes, bad weather, and more, disasters can pile up faster than your family can get to dinner! Every day, your carpets are exposed to footsteps, spills, footprints, as well as dirt, dust, hair, dead skin, and other everyday debris. As life goes on, large debris tends to settle on top of the carpet fibers. This dirt is easily visible and typically easy to pick up. Sticky spills like mud, food, body oils, and more adhere to carpet fibers, often making them very difficult to clean. Not only is this type of dirt difficult to remove, but its sticky nature can cause dirt and hair to stick to the carpet more than usual. The smallest particles pass through the carpet fibers to the carpet backing and sometimes to the carpet backing. This is the most difficult to remove due to the small size of the dirt particles.
How does this affect our home?
Having dirty carpets isn’t just unsightly. It can also affect your life in many other ways. For allergy sufferers, vacuuming regularly is the best way to keep your home comfortable. And those of us who have pets know better than anyone that our four-legged friends leave hair everywhere. But there’s nothing better than a smelly house. If you don’t vacuum regularly, dirt, hair, food crumbs, and more can start to smell, and no one wants to live in a smelly house. Finally, vacuuming directly over carpets can also damage the flooring and shorten their lifespan.
What is a deep cleaning vacuum?
Whether you want to prevent a bad smell in your home, minimize seasonal allergies, or simply clean up after your pets and family, you’ll need a vacuum that can remove all the dirt, grime, and debris from your carpet. That’s why it’s so important to buy the RIGHT vacuum instead of the cheapest or flashiest vacuum you can find. A deep-cleaning vacuum cleans from the top of the carpet to the bottom, removing all debris, large and small. Plus, with HEPA filtration, you’ll have peace of mind knowing that HEPA filter vacuums can trap particles as small as 0.3 microns.
How Kirby Deep Cleans Carpets and Floors
Now that we know what’s in our carpet, how does a deep-cleaning vacuum like the Kirby remove dirt, hair, and other debris? The answer is American engineering, industry-leading airflow, a powerful brushroll, and incredible suction.
Agitation
Spinning at 3200 RPM, the bristles of our brushroll apply the perfect amount of agitation to your carpet fibers. As our powerful brushroll moves over your carpet, dirt is drawn into the vortex of the motorized head, where it is trapped inside our filter bag. This agitation effectively removes dirt, hair, food crumbs, and more from your carpet.
Vibration
As the rotating brushroll agitates the carpet, the Kirby’s motor and airflow create powerful vibrations that can dislodge ground-in dirt. Plus, with the Kirby’s cast aluminum construction, the vibration generated by the brushroll helps reach deep into the carpet and easily shake out any debris.
Suction
Suction is one of the primary methods Kirby uses to remove dirt. Designed with the help of NASA, the Kirby fan is highly durable and produces industry-leading airflow. The airflow, or suction, is highly effective thanks to eleven strong, curved blades designed for maximum efficiency, maximum airflow, and remarkable suction.
The importance of height adjustment
One of the best adjustments a vacuum can make is the right cleaning height for your floors. We know carpets can come in many different materials, colors, and piles, so shouldn’t your vacuum be able to easily adjust based on the floor you’re cleaning? Fortunately, the Kirby features a foot-operated height adjustment that raises and lowers the Kirby to 7 different cleaning positions for optimal performance.
How to keep dirt inside the filter and out of your home
Your time is valuable, and there’s nothing more frustrating than seeing the mess you just cleaned up on your floor and in your home. That’s why Kirby has always used disposable filter bags with HEPA filtration, which makes removing trapped dirt a breeze. You’ll never have to deal with clouds of dust and hair when emptying the filter of a bagless vacuum again! Using a disposable HEPA filter bag means you’ll keep the dirt in the filter and off your floor.
The right tool for every function.
Cleaning your home can be a big task, but it can be made much easier if you use the right tool. While most vacuums come with a variety of attachments, the Kirby comes with 15 customizable tools that make cleaning a breeze. From crevice tools to brushes for walls and ceilings, Kirby attachments are perfect for quickly cleaning every inch of your home.
