In the past few years, the design of the Electrolux canister vacuum has changed. Straying away from the original bullet shape, Electrolux's new canister vacuum cleaners have taken a more egg-shaped style. With these newly designed vacuum cleaners comes a new style of vacuum cleaner bags called the S-Bag.
The new canister vacuum cleaners by Electrolux offer many new features that were not used in the older models. The Electrolux JetMaxx offers washable HEPA filtration with an automatic height adjustment on it's powerful Solaire power head. These new vacuum cleaners are also much quieter and more efficient than the older models. Most of these vacuums offer some of the distinct advantages of the old plastic and metal canister vacuums such as the 12-amp motor and automatic cord rewind.
The modern Electrolux canister vacuum is very versatile. Whether you suffer from allergies or asthma, have pets in the home, or just require a quality bag with high filtration efficiency, there is a unique vacuum cleaner bag designed for your needs. For a more standard, quality bag, use the S-Bag classic. This bag uses a 3-layer filtration system that is 90% efficient in removing dust and allergens. Another standard bag for your machine is the S-bag synthetic. This bag also offers a 3-layer filtration system in a bag that is less apt to rip or tear.
For more distinct needs there are specially designed bags for your vacuum. These include the S-Bag Clinic for allergies and asthma and the S-Bag Anti-Odour bags for users with pets in the home. The S-Bag clinic offers the highest filtration efficiency available in any vacuum cleaner bag at 99%. This filtration removes dust, dirt and allergens from the exhaust of your vacuum cleaner and traps them, keeping them from reentering the air of your home. Electrolux also offers the anti-odour bags that are effective in ridding your home of odors from pets as well as pet allergens and dander.
Each of these bags have their own distinct advantages. To determine which vacuum cleaner bags are right for you, I recommend buying the
S-Bag Sampler pack which includes a package of each of these types of bags(a total of 17 bags). This is the best way to find out exactly which bags work best for your unique cleaning needs. If you have any more questions please contact our customer support team.

Winter can seem very long. Days are shorter, night’s colder. If your New Year Resolution was to clean the house, now is the time to create a strategy. Vacuum, clean windowsills, and wash the windows. Let the light in; take down the heavy drapes. Keep the shades up during the day. Keep your space well lit by using high efficiency LED bulbs to save on your electric bill.
Get rid of the clutter. There are recycling and reuse centers to take unwanted items. Donate extra clothing to charity this will help your wardrobe from being crammed with clothes you will never wear. Just work on a little at a time. Place an air freshener in closets to prevent bad odors.
To avoid cleaning twice, dust the ceiling fan and clean the windows before vacuuming in case dust and dirt fall on the floor. Use a vacuum cleaner to remove built up dirt from your boots and shoes.
Your upholstery may need to be cleaned. Take off the cushions and use your vacuum cleaner to clean up dust and dirt. Use your brush attachment for this chore. You may buy a new colorful throw and decorative pillows to brighten up the living space.
After winter wear and accumulating months of dust and dirt, your carpets will need to be cleaned and refreshed. Frequent vacuuming can prolong the life of your carpets. When you have a spill on your carpet, clean it immediately. You will need a specially formulated detergent to remove the toughest stains and dirt. Before using the shampooer, vacuum the carpet thoroughly. Pretreat the stains before shampooing. Make sure the room is well ventilated. Do not walk on the carpets until completely dry.
When vacuuming use Vac-Yum to enjoy a refreshing scent while you clean. They are available in many scents such as Blackberry Sage ,Cinnamon Roll, Country Orange, Gardenia Flowers, Northern Pine to name a few.
Now just sit back and relax and wail for spring.

You run a tight ship in your home; Perhaps you even vacuum daily, thats great. But if you're still using an upright or canister vacuum, your cleaning may not be as thorough as you think. Upright and canister vacuums can be great for many instances of cleaning, and they are usually affordable, but most upright vacuums will actually move dust and dirt around instead of picking it up. This can aggravate allergies and asthma, releasing millions of tiny particles into the air of your home. When you use a central vacuum system, the dust and dirt is transferred from your power nozzle to the central vacuum unit mounted in the garage or basement of your home. You can even mount a central vacuum outside of your home for increased filtration.
Because HEPA filtration only removes 99.97% of particles as small as 0.3 microns, rather than 100%, central vacuum units mounted outside of your home are actually even more efficient than HEPA filtration in removing harmful particles from the air. While the health benefits of installing one of these systems are great, they aren't the only reason to install a built in vacuum. Using a whole house vacuum is fiscally responsible. These powerful systems will save you thousands of dollars in costs for supplies for your canister or upright vacuum. Most power units don't require the use of a bag and only need to be emptied once or twice a year.
When using a portable vacuum cleaner, there are many hidden costs that you don't take into account. If your machine is bagged, you'll need to change the bag once every 2-3 months and even if you use a bagless machine you'll need to change the filter every 6 months which can be quite expensive. In contrast, most central vacuum systems offer self-cleaning filters that never need to be changed. Installing a central vacuum cleaner in your home can also increase the value of your home by thousands of dollars. While these systems can initially be expensive, they are built to last from 20-30 years whereas a quality portable vacuum will only last you five to ten years.
What it really comes down to is the fact that central vacs are more powerful, efficient and easy to use than a portable vacuum cleaner. Instead of carrying a heavy vacuum up and down the stairs and from room to room, you'll plug in a hose to an inlet in your wall that connects to the power unit.

When choosing a new air purifier for your home, it is very important to put a lot of thought and consideration into your decision. While most of these machines are highly effective in removing allergens, dust and other harmful substances from the air, some are better than others and some might actually do more harm than help.
The first thing to think about when choosing the right model for your home is your needs. Do you suffer from allergies, asthma or perhaps a multiple chemical sensitivity? There are so many different makes and models of air purifiers on the market today, so there is sure to be one that suits your unique needs. You'll also want to take into account the size of your home. Most residential air purifiers are designed to clean the air in one room at a time. While most units will have the option of caster wheels, it is important to know that using one household room air purifier will not be effective in cleaning the air in your entire house. Because of this, we recommend that you place your unit in the room where you spend the most time - the bedroom. However if you do need to clean the air throughout your entire home, there are a few whole house air purifiers available.
There are quite a few different brands on the market today, each with their ups and downs. A company called IQAir designed the first residential air purifier in the 1960s in Germany for asthma sufferers who used coal burning stoves in their homes, they are now one of the largest brands of air purifiers in the world and offer some of the best units available. The filter used in each IQAir air purifier is composed of a HyperHEPA media that is about 100 times more effective than the standard HEPA filter that is used in other brands.
A HEPA, or High Efficiency Particulate Air, filter is capable of capturing 99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns and 95% of all particles as small as 0.003 microns. With the IQAir's HyperHEPA Filtration, these systems capture 99.97% of all particles as small as 0.3 microns and 99.5% of all particles as small as 0.003 microns. Studies have shown that the ultra fine particles that only an IQAir machine is capable of capturing are the most dangerous because they enter your bloodstream through your lungs.
While the IQAir systems are great, they can be a bit pricey. If you need a great machine but you're on a lower budget, I recommend using an Austin Air purifier. These machines are great because they use a medical grade filter that emulates a hospital clean room. The filters in these machines also last five years without needing to be changed or cleaned and they are offered in either a full sized unit or the smaller, junior series air purifier for smaller rooms.
A few things to look out for:
- Stay away from units that use UV lights. Air travels through these lights too quick and therefore this method is ineffective.
- Make sure any machine you use in your home does not produce ozone. Ozone can be hazardous to your health.
- Call 1-866-972-8227 to speak with an air purifier specialist if you have any questions or need help choosing the right model for your home.
