The trend towards laminate, boarded or high-grade parquet flooring made from precious woods continues. Wood flooring transforms any floor space making it more beautiful. They enhance the value of a room and give it a natural charm. Furthermore, they contribute to health at home. However, smooth flooring does not respond well to aggressive cleaning agents and is extremely scratch-sensitive. In order to keep it looking new for a long time, wood flooring should be regularly vacuumed or swept, it should be cleaned thoroughly once a week. Things that sound simple are often carried out incorrectly, and the pleasure from having new hardwood flooring dwindles. The first small scratches are often visible after the first time you vacuum.
Gentle helper
The vacuum cleaner "Laminate and Parquet Flooring Tool" from Swirl is particularly friendly to the floor. It has a felt glider on the underside upon which it glides quietly and without leaving scratches. It is also ultra-flat and vacuums effortlessly under very low furniture such as sofas and sideboards.
A further plus is the suction channels, which are located on the sides and underneath. These direct any vacuumed dust into the suction inlet. The lateral suction channels even enable the tool to vacuum edges and corners thoroughly.
Agile multi-talent
The Laminate and Parquet Flooring Tool is very easy to guide over the floor and particularly agile due to a 180 degree swivel joint.
Thus, there isn't even any need to interrupt vacuum cleaning when moving between a large area and narrow corners or alcoves, because one rotation of the joint enables you to effortlessly vacuum sideways. Soft edges on the head of the tool prevent damage to walls or furniture if they are bumped into.
Beyond that, while many homes are furnished with a combination of smooth and textile flooring, the Swirl tool offers a second advantage – it is also suitable for vacuuming small carpets and rugs.
The "Swirl Tool for Laminate and Parquet Flooring" is available in specialist stores. It fits on any vacuum cleaner* and costs EUR 26.50 (RRP).
*Except Vorwerk and Hoover appliances with a pipe diameter of more than 35 mm.
