Written by Karen Bates (last updated July 10, 2023)

When it comes to keeping your floors clean, there are several things you should do to help them stay in great shape. Depending on the type of flooring, you may need to sweep, mop, vacuum, shampoo, spot clean, or otherwise maintain the floor. This requires both constant upkeep and occasional deep cleaning for the most successful cleanliness results.

Whether in the home or another building, carpeting is one of the most popular kinds of floor covering. People prefer carpet for many reasons, particularly because it is more comfortable overall than hard flooring. It doesn't necessarily require less maintenance than other flooring, just a different kind. Because so many floors are covered in carpet, it is vital that these floors are properly cared for and not neglected. This means that you must use the right tools for the task.

The most important carpet cleaning tool is a vacuum cleaner. Vacuum cleaners allow easy and efficient carpet cleaning, and come in different types. What type you choose to use on your carpet will depend on a few things, such as the location of the carpet, the size of the carpeted area, and how often the carpet needs to be cleaned, among other things.

One type of vacuum that you may choose is the canister vacuum. A canister vacuum has a canister body to keep the motor and filter system, as well as attachments that can be hooked on to do different jobs. This vacuum is usually lightweight and easy to maneuver, and the attachments allows for easy accessibility to hard to reach spaces. Some canister vacuums have wheels to make them mobile, and others are easy to carry with built-on handles

Due to their design, canister vacuums are best suited for certain tasks. Vacuuming carpeted stairs, for instance, is much easier with a canister model than with an upright or other type of vacuum. Cleaning furniture, like a chair or a sofa, is easy to accomplish with a canister vacuum.

Canister vacuums can be found with various features. Some run more quietly than others, have more attachments, are smaller, have air filtration, have a steam function, or come with other useful abilities. Depending on what you need. The cost for canister vacuums varies greatly, but they can range from less than $100 to closer to $1,000.

Many carpet cleaning jobs can be done efficiently with a canister vacuum. Consider using one of these vacuums if you have a carpeted area that you need to maintain.
