The Advantages of Wet and Dry Vacuum Cleaners

Wet and dry vacuum cleaners are ideal for commercial and industrial use. Sucking up both dirt and liquid, these machines act as a replacement for traditional mopping whilst working on the same principle as a regular vacuum cleaner.

For premises where large volumes of dirt accumulate on a regular basis, and where there are regular spillages, the wet and dry vacuum cleaner really is the only solution. There are numerous advantages to investing in one of these machines. Here are a few of them.

Time Saving

The powerful suction collects all waste in one hit and in doing so prevents repeat cleaning. What’s more, the large volume storage capacity in these machines makes it unnecessary to keep stopping to empty out and, when the time does come, certain models offer the convenience of a dump hose on the bottom which speeds the process up significantly.

Versatility

Not only do wet and dry vacuum cleaners do what they say on the tin, they also offer a variety of other uses, many of which are down to the fact that some of these machines have both a traditional suck-up function, plus a blower function. Uses include unblocking sinks and pipes, tackling floods, removing snow from walkways, cleaning carpets and removing leaves and other debris from external areas. Some cleaners in this category can also be used to buff hardwood floors using a special buffer brush attachment and the size of objects that the vacuum can handle is larger than regular dry-use only models, making them beneficial for industrial settings.

Convenience

Premises with heavy footfall cannot afford to pose hazards for too long. So if there is a spillage that needs to be quickly cleared, a wet and dry vacuum is the perfect answer. Much faster and more thorough than the mop and bucket method, these machines will have the floor cleaned and dried in just a few minutes, even if the spillage is in a tricky to locate area, such as under a fridge. Also the way these cleaners work prevents mess from spreading, which is a whole lot safer and of course, faster.

There are numerous models in the wet and dry commercial vacuum cleaner range, meaning there is something to suit a variety of needs.
