If you own or are considering purchasing an oriental or persian rugs, the first thing to know is they require attention and care to remain vibrant and healthy. The safest way to ensure longevity in your rug is through proper vacuuming. This process should occur once a week, bare minimum. Any less and damage slowly sets in to shred and unravel your rug.
Across the United States, homeowners drag in sand, clay, limestone, and gypsum traces to their carpets; these abrasive soils destroy the rug’s fibers and shorten its life exponentially. Other soils, found in the air stemming from: heating systems, stoves, and similar appliances, mix and mingle with other particles burrowing deep into the rug. As you walk, you grind these harsh materials into the meshwork of your rug creating an abrasion, cutting the fibers and seams which leads to unraveling. These elements also dull and diminish your rug’s color.
The only way to clean your Oriental, Persian, or low pile rug is with a strong vacuum cleaner with a power nozzle. The rotating brush agitates the debris deep down in the fibers and the suction pulls the dirt away. Brooms damage the surface. Carpet beaters destroy the foundation. Air driven nozzles remove the top dirt layer alone; the abrasive elements remain hidden in the depths. To truly rid your rug of destructive dirt, a canister vacuum with power nozzle, or an upright with a rotating beater brush is the only way. It is not recommended to use a power nozzle on on old or antique rugs that are woven with a low pile as this could cause damage to the rug. You will want to use a a non motorized floor tool on low pile rugs to preserve their integrity.
For superior cleaning of your Oriental rug, turn the rug upside down and vacuum the underside to release ground-in dirt; this process will dislodge any debris your power head may miss due to repetitive foot traffic across the fibers. Proper care and a power nozzle with strong suction will guarantee your rug’s long life. Consider this: would you rather spend a few more dollars for a premium vacuum or the pretty penny for a new rug because the dirt wore away at the fibers? An oriental rug is an investment; insure, protect, and preserve your oriental rug through proper cleaning methods and the right tools for the job.

When it comes to the quality of a vacuum cleaner, many consumers begin their search by looking into the product's country of origin. After research has been properly conducted, it is highly likely that two of the brands remaining will be Miele and SEBO. Each of these brands are German manufactured and pride themselves in offering quality vacuum cleaners and replacement parts to new and existing customers. When it comes to German vacuum cleaner brands, SEBO and Miele tend to be the most well known and allow for their products to speak for themselves. Wessel-Werk is another vacuum brand that is manufactured in Germany which also has gained much notoriety in the industry. Their high quality attachments and power nozzles offer the optimal performance from the vacuums they are used on.
SEBO was founded in 1978 by a group of engineers who sought to make a vacuum that was not only efficient and high performing for the consumer, but also convenient. This German vacuum brand was the first vacuum manufacturer to offer many features that should not be taken for granted when considering a new vacuum for your home or business. Some of these features include an integrated hose and wand on their upright vacuums, as well as a clutch protection which prevents damage to the brushroll and motor if something happens to become lodged in the vacuum head. Other features of the SEBO vacuum cleaners include electrostatic microfilters, S-class filtration and a soft bumper around the canister vacuums which helps to prevent damage to furniture and walls.
Miele was founded in 1899 and has since worked to become one of the most common household names that is synonymous with quality products. They began producing vacuum cleaners in 1927 and the rest was history. Miele currently has ten active factories in Germany where the majority of the workforce is involved with industrial engineering and production. Miele vacuum cleaners commonly come with HEPA filtration which is highly recommended for allergy and asthma sufferers, and come standard with a 1200 Watt Miele Vortex motor. Their one-of-a-kind German manufactured motor powers their vacuum cleaners which are some of the most versatile machines available today. Miele canister vacuums and upright vacuums are great for all surfaces.
German vacuum brands take pride in their engineering and the quality of the product whereas other brands, that are primarily manufactured in parts of Asia, focus more on quantity over quality. While SEBO and Miele tend to be in the spotlight in terms of the German vacuum manufacturers, other high quality brands such as Wessel-Werk and Vorwerk are also made in Germany, and also have great engineering credentials. When looking for a new vacuum cleaner, make sure to make an informed decision and consider the engineering that goes into the product before you pull the trigger on something you may regret down the road.

Miele is stepping up their filter game with their upgraded HA 30/50 HEPA vacuum filter. Their revamped design is Class 13 HEPA certified, which means that these filters will now remove 99.95% of allergens and asthma-causing particles that are 0.3 microns and larger. This is a 0.45% upgrade from the 99.5% efficiency of their old design. That may not seem like much of an upgrade, but homeowners that suffer from bad allergies or asthma will notice an immediate difference in filter performance. Also, because European standards are particularly stringent regarding filtration—especially HEPA filtration, a 0.45% increase is much more significant than it seems. Miele has always strived to meet and beat those tough standards, and with their upgraded HEPA filtration, they are certainly offering some of the best—if not the best HEPA filters on the market.
Significant testing was needed to accomplish this filtration upgrade. The superior suction power of Miele vacuums requires a filter that is able to handle it. Filters that do not allow for maximum airflow means that some absorbed particles will not be able to pass through the filter and instead we be forced out of the sides of the vacuum because of back pressure. In other words, a filter that cannot support its machine’s airflow will lose a large amount of particulate allergens into the air. Miele’s ingenious new filter design has been thoroughly tested for maximum efficiency and will allow the powerful suction of the Miele vacuum to operate unencumbered.
But aside from being an efficient filter that provides superior filtration, the new HA-30/50 is also a very user-friendly. Their new design features a touch-activated time strip, which will tell the user when the active material has expired and when the HEPA filter needs to be replaced. The lifespan of the HEPA filter remains the same—40 hours of run time, or about 12 months for the average homeowner, but thankfully this exciting new feature takes out all of the guess work.
And remember, this upgraded in Miele’s HEPA filter technology will affect both the Miele HA 30 filter and the Miele HA 50 filter, so regardless of which Miele vacuum you have—canister or upright, you’ll be able to take advantage of Miele’s vast upgrade in HEPA filtration!
